Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Whereas:

(1) The Council, through Regulation (EC) No 517/94, established quantitative restrictions on imports of certain textile products originating in third countries and envisaged that these quotas would be allocated in chronological order of receipt by the Commission of notifications from Member States according to the principle of "first come, first served".

(4) In those circumstances and for these product categories, it is appropriate to amend the method of allocating the quotas for such products originating in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by distributing the quotas among the Member States on a pro rata basis of total amounts requested by each of them relative to the quota.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
