Commission Regulation (EC) No 1375/2007

of 23 November 2007

on imports of residues from the manufacture of starch from maize from the United States of America

(Codified version)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2019/94 of 2 August 1994 on imports of residues from the manufacture of starch from maize from the United States of America(2) has been substantially amended several times(3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.

(2) Within the framework of the GATT, the Community and the USA have agreed to clarify the tariff definition of residues from the manufacture of starch from maize. Imports of these products into the Community are subject to laboratory analysis to verify their conformity with the tariff definition. The Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture and the USA wet milling industry, under the regular review of the USA authorities, will certify that imports of these products from the USA into the Community are in conformity with the agreed definition.

(3) On the basis of the establishment of a system of accompanying certificates for checking the conformity of imports from the USA, it is appropriate that the customary measures for checking should continue to be applied to imports from the USA accompanied by these certificates.

(4) The regular communication by Member States to the Commission of the quantities and value of products imported under cover of these certificates is one of the elements agreed with the USA to enable a more effective monitoring of the implementation of the above agreement.

(5) The measures laid down in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
