This is a description of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1132, which amends Implementing Regulations (EU) 2020/761 and (EU) 2020/1988 regarding tariff rate quotas for products originating in Ukraine in 2025. The regulation adjusts the quantities of certain agricultural products that can be imported from Ukraine into the EU at reduced or zero tariff rates. These adjustments are necessary because temporary trade liberalization measures are expiring, and the original tariff rate quotas under the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine are being reinstated, but only for a portion of the year.
The regulation modifies Annexes II, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761, changing the tariff quota period for specific order numbers to reflect the period from January 1 to December 31, except for the period from June 6 to December 31, 2025. During this latter period, these tariff rate quotas will be administered in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1988. Additionally, Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1988 is amended to add tables for new tariff quotas in the sectors of cereals, beef and veal, milk and milk products, pigmeat, eggs, and poultry meat, applicable only from June 6 to December 31, 2025. It also modifies the quantities for existing tariff quotas to reflect the same period. Finally, a new Annex VI is added to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1988, which specifies conversion factors for products in the eggs sector.
The most important provisions of this act are those specifying the adjusted quantities for various agricultural products and the periods during which these adjustments are in effect. For example, the quantity of common wheat flour that can be imported under order number 09.6734 is set at 7/12 of 1,000,000,000 kg for the period from June 6 to December 31, 2025. Similarly, the regulation introduces new order numbers for products like beef, milk, pigmeat, eggs and poultry, with specific quantities and sub-periods. For the egg sector, the introduction of conversion factors is also a key element, ensuring accurate accounting for different types of egg products.
