of 16 September 2009

(2009/742/EC)
THE EU-SOUTH AFRICA COOPERATION COUNCIL,
Having regard to the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of South Africa, of the other part (1) (hereinafter referred to as the TDCA), signed in Pretoria on 11 October 1999, and in particular Article 106(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The meaning of ‘gross weight’ in the context of the tariff lines included under the heading ‘Fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants’ in Annex IV, List 6 of the TDCA should be clarified. |
(2) |
Certain cheese names under the heading ‘Cheese and curd’ in Annex IV of the TDCA, which are not protected EU denominations under Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 (2) should be deleted from List 8 and inserted in List 7 of that Annex. |
(3) |
South Africa should open certain tariff-rate quotas as set out in Annex VI, List 4 of the TDCA regarding, inter alia, ‘Cheese and curd’. |
(4) |
For three categories of cheeses, namely Gouda (corresponding EC Customs code 0406 90 78), Cheddar (corresponding EC Customs code 0406 90 21) and processed cheese, not grated or powdered (corresponding EC Customs code 0406 30), listed in Annex VI, List 4 of the TDCA the current 50 % most favoured nation (MFN) quota reduction applicable on import into South Africa of products originating in the Community should be changed into an in-quota zero duty. |
(5) |
The Community should not grant export refunds for these three categories of cheeses and should not grant export refunds for other cheese products beyond the levels applicable on 16 July 2004, depending on the implementation by South Africa of in-quota customs duties on import into South Africa of products originating in the Community. Given the present market situation in milk and milk products, no export refunds for cheese products are granted as of 15 June 2007, as provided for by Regulation (EC) No 660/2007 (3), |
