THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

As the Union has decided to use that possibility, it is necessary to provide the conditions for the application of those derogations for imports from Costa Rica.
(3) The quotas set out in Appendix 2A to Annex II should be managed on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code.
(4) Entitlement to benefit from the tariff concessions should be subject to the presentation of the relevant proof of origin to the customs authorities, as provided for in the Agreement.
(5) Since the Agreement applies on a provisional basis as of 1 October 2013, this Regulation should apply from the same date.
