Previously notified in N2EU9, N2EU13, N2EU15-18
Following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the "United Kingdom") from the Union, the Union and the United Kingdom notified the other Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) that their current market access levels will be maintained by apportioning the Union's tariff rate quotas between the Union and the United Kingdom. The methodology for that apportionment, as well as the EU-27 volumes, are laid down in Regulation (EU) No. 2019/216 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
However, the Union's tariff rate quotas that are not part of the WTO schedule of the Union should not have been apportioned. Nevertheless, the import tariff quota of 1,000 tonnes, opened based on Council Regulation (EC) No. 1149/2002 and expressed in product weight, of high-quality fresh, chilled or frozen beef, which is not part of the WTO schedule of the Union, was incorrectly apportioned by Regulation (EU) No. 2019/216. Its volume was mistakenly reduced with application as of 1 January 2021.
This Implementing Regulation therefore restores the original quantity of the tariff quota for high-quality beef from Paraguay with order number 09.4455 in Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2020/761.
