Applications for and issue of import licences for tariff quotas managed with documents issued by third countries
Article 44
1. Section 8 of the import licence applications and of the import licence shall contain the information specified, for the relevant tariff quota, in the box ‘specific entries to be made on the licence’ of Annex VIII. 2. Upon application for the import licence, applicants shall submit the certificate of authenticity and a copy thereof to the licence issuing authority. The competent authorities may issue import licences only where they are satisfied that all the information on the certificate of authenticity corresponds to that received each week from the Commission. Where only a copy of the certificate of authenticity has been presented or where the original of the certificate of authenticity has been presented but the information in that document is not in conformity with the information provided by the Commission, the competent authorities shall request the licence applicant to lodge an additional security pursuant to Article 45.
