(4) In line with the WTO rules, such apportionment of tariff rate quotas that are part of the Union’s schedule of concessions and commitments will have to occur according to Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (‘GATT 1994’). The Union will, therefore, following completion of preliminary contacts, engage in negotiations with WTO Members having a principal or substantial supplying interest or holding an initial negotiating right in relation to each of these tariff rate quotas. This should not in any circumstances amount to a renegotiation of terms of access to the Union.

(9) Taking into account that negotiations with affected WTO Members will be taking place simultaneously with the ordinary legislative procedure for the adoption of this Regulation the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to amend the Annex to this Regulation and Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 32/2000 with respect to the quantities of the apportioned tariff rate quotas listed therein,. This should only be in order to take account of any international agreements concluded or of pertinent information that it may receive, either in the context of these negotiations or outside them, which would indicate that specific factors that were not previously known require an adjustment to the apportionment of the tariff quotas between the Union and the United Kingdom. The same possibility should also be provided where such information becomes available outside such negotiations.
