(1)The Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Serbia, of the other part (SAA), was signed on 29 April 2008. The SAA entered into force on 1 September 2013^note.

(2)The SAA replaced the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Serbia, of the other part (Interim Agreement), which had entered into force on 1 February 2010^note and put into effect the trade and trade-related provisions of the SAA.

(3)Annex IV to the SAA as well as Annex IV to the Interim Agreement concern the Community concessions for Serbian fishery products in the form of tariff quotas.

(4)The Protocol to the SAA to take account of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union^note (the Protocol) was signed on 25 June 2014. Its signature on behalf of the European Union, the European Atomic Energy Community and the Member States has been authorised by Council Decisions 2014/517/EU^note and 2014/518/Euratom^note.

(5)The Protocol provides for an increase of the existing tariff quota for carp originating in Serbia by 26 tonnes as well as for an opening of a new tariff quota for imports of products of HS heading 1604 within an annual limit of 15 tonnes. For the first year of application, the tariff quota volumes are to be calculated as a pro rata of the basic annual volumes according to the time elapsed from the beginning of the calendar year to the date of application of the Protocol.

(6)Entitlement to benefit from the tariff concessions is subject to the presentation of the relevant proof of origin to the customs authorities, as provided for in the Interim Agreement and the SAA.

(7)The tariff quotas should be managed by the Commission on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93^note.

(8)The Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87^note contains new CN codes which are different from those referred to in the Interim Agreement and the SAA. The new CN codes should therefore be reflected in the Annex to this Regulation.

(9)In order to ensure the effective application and management of the tariff quotas granted under the Interim Agreement and the SAA, as well as to ensure legal certainty and equal treatment with regard to the levying of duties, the provisions of this Regulation should apply from the date of entry into force of the Interim Agreement.

(10)The Protocol is to be applied on a provisional basis as from the first day of the second month following the date of its signature, pending the completion of the procedures for its conclusion. Therefore, the increase of the existing tariff quota for carp and the application of the new tariff quota for imports of products of HS heading 1604 should take effect as from 1 August 2014.
