THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a goods nomenclature, hereinafter referred to as the Combined Nomenclature, and set out the conventional duty rates of the Common Customs Tariff.

(2) By its Decision 2009/718/EC of 7 September 2009 on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and Brazil, the Council approved, on behalf of the Community, the abovementioned Agreement with a view to closing negotiations initiated pursuant to Article XXIV:6 of GATT 1994.

(3) Pursuant to Article 153(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products, full-time refiners in the Community enjoy a privileged access to sugar for refining during the first three months of the marketing year 2009/2010, i.e. from 1 October to 31 December 2009. In case that this Regulation should apply from a date later than 1 October 2009 and in order to guarantee the priority to full-time refiners in the marketing year 2009/2010, the start of the three-month period should be postponed until the first day of application of this Regulation.

(4) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended and supplemented accordingly,
