(2)The Annex to the Additional Protocol provides for duty-free tariff quotas for release for free circulation in the Union as set out in Regulation (EC) No 992/95.

(3)The Additional Protocol enters provisionally into force on 1 January 2025 as this is the first day of the third month after the last instrument of ratification has been deposited in accordance with its Article 5.2. This Regulation should therefore apply from the same date.

(5)The Additional Protocol provides for the transfer of the unused accumulated quota volumes of such tariff quotas for a period of up to two years following the end of its application but no longer than the provisional application of any subsequent protocol establishing duty-free quotas for the same products.

(6)The tariff quotas are to be managed by the Commission on the basis of the chronological order of dates of acceptance of customs declarations for release for free circulation in accordance with the rules for the management of tariff quotas laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447^note.

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

(8)In order to ensure that the tariff quotas are available as of the date of the provisional entry into force of the Additional Protocol, the tariff quotas provided for in this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2025. This Regulation should therefore enter into force as a matter of urgency.
