As Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 was substantially amended several times, in the interests of clarity and rationality it was codified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 (3). (2) A Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, of the other part, was signed in Luxembourg on 16 June 2008.

(3) A 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 was signed in Luxembourg on 29 April 2008. Pending the completion of the procedures necessary for its entry into force, an 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 (%), was signed and concluded (7) and entered into force on 1 February 2010. (4)  The Stabilisation and Association Agreements and the Interim Agreements establish a contractual trade regime between the European Union and Bosnia and Herze- govina, and between the European Union and Serbia. It is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 by removing Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia from the list of beneficiaries of the tariff concessions for the same products under the contractual trade regime and to adjust the global tariff quota volumes for specific products for which tariff quotas have been granted under the contractual trade regime. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia should, however, remain bene- ficiaries under Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 in so far as that Regulation provides for concessions which are more favourable than those wunder the bilateral agreements. (5)  Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 remains the main instrument governing trade relations with Kosovo (%). Kosovo's continued access to the Union market ( O] L 233, 30.8.2008, p. 6.
