THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 992/95 of 10 April 1995 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and fishery products originating in Norway^note, and in particular Article 5(1)(a) and (b) thereof,Whereas:

(1)In 2009, negotiations were concluded for an Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway concerning special provisions applicable for the period 2009-14 to imports into the Union of certain fish and fishery products, hereinafter ‘the Additional Protocol’.

(2)The signing, on behalf of the European Union, and the provisional application of the Additional Protocol has been authorised by Council Decision 2010/674/EU of 26 July 2010 on the signing and provisional application of an Agreement between the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway on an EEA Financial Mechanism for the period 2009-2014, an Agreement between the European Union and Norway on a Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009-2014, an Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Iceland concerning special provisions applicable to imports into the European Union of certain fish and fishery products for the period 2009-2014 and an Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Norway concerning special provisions applicable to imports into the European Union of certain fish and fishery products for the period 2009-2014^note.

(3)The Additional Protocol provides for new annual duty free tariff quotas at import into the Union of certain fish and fishery products originating in Norway.

(4)In accordance with the Additional Protocol, the duty free tariff quotas levels that should have been opened for Norway as from 1 May 2009 until 1 March 2011 shall be divided in equal parts and allocated on a yearly basis for the remaining part of the period of application of this Protocol.

(5)In order to implement the new tariff quotas provided for in the Additional Protocol, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 992/95.

(6)It is necessary to replace the current reference in Regulation (EC) No 992/95 to free-at-frontier prices by a reference to the declared customs value in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products^note, and to provide that in order to qualify for the preferences laid down in the Additional Protocol, that value must at least be equal to any reference price fixed or to be fixed in accordance with the same Regulation.

(7)Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway defining the concept of originating products and setting out the arrangements for administrative cooperation was amended by Decision No 1/2005 of the EC-Norway Joint Committee of 20 December 2005^note. It is therefore necessary to provide explicitly that Protocol 3 as amended in 2005 is to apply.

(8)For reasons of clarity and to take account of the amendments to the Combined Nomenclature codes, laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff^note, and of the Taric-subdivisions, it is appropriate to replace Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 992/95.

(9)For reasons of clarity and to take account of the fact that several tariff quotas cover the same products for the same period, it is appropriate to merge them.

(10)Regulation (EC) No 992/95 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(11)In accordance with Decision 2010/674/EU the new tariff quotas must apply from 1 March 2011. This Regulation should therefore apply from the same date.

(12)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
