a Allocation for trading companies is divided into two categories:  (A) performance basis;  and (B) newcomers-oriented
performance basis.  The latter system is only for companies who were newly allocated in the last year's allocation on first-com e-
first-served basis.  Allocation on first-come-first-served basis is also divided into two categories:  (A) interim allocation s ystem;
and (B) conventional system.  The former is only for bidders who have been ever allocated less than 30 ton per an allocation, t he
latter for others.
b Sardine quota for the year 2000 include the additional import quota of the 25,000 metric tons.
Note: TMT = thousand tonnes;  ODP = ozone depleting potential;  TSM = thousand square meters
