The provision of these trade preferences would not cause any meaningfullimited adverse effects on the domestic market of the Union and would not affect negatively least developed Members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

(10c) It is also necessary to provide for the introduction of tariff rate quotas where volumes of imports of products covered by Annex I of this Regulation increase beyond certain levels. Given the need to respond expeditiously to such increased volumes, the Commission should adopt a delegated act, in accordance with Article 290, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, on the basis of an urgency procedure, amending Annex II. The power to adopt such acts should be delegated to the Commission.
