9.5.2008 Official Journal of the European Union L 125/15 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 413/2008 of 8 May 2008 amending and correcting Regulation (EC) No 27/2008 opening and providing for the administration of certain annual tariff quotas for products covered by CN codes 07141091, 07141099, 071490 11 and 0714 90 19 originating in certain third countries other than Thailand THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/96 of 18 June 1996 on the implementation of the concessions set out in Schedule CXL drawn up in the wake of the conclusions of the GATT XXIV.6 negotiations ('), and in particular Article 1(1) thereof, Whereas: (1)  Experience of the implementation of Commission Regu- lation (EC) No 27/2008 of 15 January 2008 opening and providing for the administration of certain annual tariff quotas for products covered by CN codes 0714 10 91, 07141099, 0714 90 11 and 0714 90 19 originating in certain third countries other than Thailand (%) has shown that, in the interests of sound management of the quotas, some adjustments should be made to that Regulation. (2)  In the interests of sound management of the quotas and in the light of experience, market fluidity should be improved for the products in question and better use of the quotas ensured. Operators should thus be permitted to submit more than one licence application per quota period and there should therefore be a dero- gation from Article 6(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (). (3)  To ensure that the quotas are managed on the basis of the quota year in question, it should be specified that if licence applications are lodged in December and these applications relate to the following year's quota, Member States are not to forward such applications to the Commission until the first period of the following year. (4)  In order to rationalise and simplify the Commission’s procedure for following up applications and to reduce the number of communications to be sent by Member States to the Commission, the number of communi- cations to the Commission should be limited to one per week.

(5)  When Commission Regulation (EC) No 2449/96 of 18 December 1996 opening and providing for the admi- nistration of certain annual tariff quotas for products covered by CN codes 07141091, 07141099, 07149011 and 07149019 originating in certain third countries other than Thailand (*) was codified, by means of Regulation (EC) No 27/2008, the CN code 0714 10 99 was reproduced without taking account of the amended numbering of the Combined Nomenclature codes introduced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1214/2007 (), which replaced CN  code 0714 10 99 by CN code ex 0714 10 98. The Regulation should therefore be amended and its title corrected. (6)  The allocation of quantities reserved for WTO member countries and WTO non-member countries (1 320 590 tonnes and 32 000 tonnes respectively) is unclear in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 27/2008. To avoid confusion, the wording of that provision should be amended. (7)  Regulation (EC) No 27/2008 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly. (8)  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Regulation (EC) No 27/2008 is hereby amended as follows: 1.
