THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007note, and in particular Article 183 thereof,Whereas:
(1)In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010note, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1221note fixed the level of import duties for cereals. Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 has been repealed. The rules in accordance with which import duties for cereals are fixed are laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834note. Therefore, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1221 should be replaced and import duties for cereals should be fixed in accordance with the rules set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2384.
(2)Article 15(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834 provides that the import duty on cereal products falling within the Combined Nomenclature (‘CN’) codes 10011100, 10011900, ex10019120 (common wheat seed), ex10019900 (high-quality common wheat other than seed), 10021000, 10029000, 10051090, 10059000, 10071090 and 10079000 is equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation, increased by 55 %, minus the Cost, Insurance, Freight (‘CIF’) import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the conventional rate of duty as determined on the basis of the CN.
(3)Article 15(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834 provides that, for the purpose of calculating the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative CIF import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products referred to in that paragraph.
(4)Pursuant to Article 16(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834, the import price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products referred to in Article 15(1) of that Implementing Regulation is the daily CIF representative import price determined by using the method provided for in Article 19 of that Implementing Regulation.
(5)Council Regulation (EU) 2024/1652note amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff provides for tariff measures in order to prevent, among other products, cereals, oilseeds and derived products from Belarus and Russia from continuing to enter the Union market on equally favourable terms as those applied to products from other non-preferential origins.
(6)To ensure a smooth handling of imports, it should be clarified that the duties fixed in this Regulation do not apply to imports from Belarus and Russia.
(7)Import duties should be fixed for the period from 1 July 2024 in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834 and should apply until a new import duty is fixed and enters into force.
(8)In the interest of clarity and legal certainty, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1221 should be repealed and replaced by this Regulation.
(9)In accordance with Article 16(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,
