inorder totake account of iaport trends for theproducts inquestion in

twotranches ,thefirst tranche being allocated anong those Member
States ,and' thesecond forming areserve intended tocover thelater
requirements oftheMember States which have used uptheir initial

quota shares ;whereas ,inorder toensure acertain degree ofsecurity
toimporters ineach Member State ,the *first tranche ofthequota
should befixed ,inthis case ,atapproximately 75%' , -
theinitial quota shares oftheMember States concerned may beused up
atdifferent rates ;whereas ,therefore ,toavoid' any interruption in
supply ,aMember State which has almost used upitsinitial quota
share must draw anadditional quota share from ,the ;reserve ;whereas
this must bedone byeach Member State aseach ofitsadditional
quota shares ,isalmost used up ,,and asmany times asthePreserve allows ;
