EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Article 2oftheAgreement between theEuropean Economic Community
andSpain ,read with Articles 2,3and 4ofAnnex Ithereto ,provides
fortheopening ofCommunity tariff quotas fortheimportation into
theCommunity ofthefollowing products ,originating inSpain ,at
thequota duties specified below :
CCTheading No Product Annual Volume Quota duty
Chapter Certain petroleum products 1200 000 t ;
»40% bfthe
55.09 Other cotton fabrics 1800 t CCT duties
However ,this regime hasbeen provided only for theimportation of
these products into thesixoriginal Member States ,whereas the three
newMember States have applied different regimes .According tothe
Act ofAccession theimportation ofthese products into thethree
newMember States are subject totherates ofduty oftheCommon
Customs Tariff from IJuly 1977 .
Inthis situation ,auniform regime ofimportation should beestablished .
Hence theforementioned quota volumes should beincreased insuch a
manner astotake account ofthetraditional quantities imported inthe
newMember States .This leads toanincrease to 1900 tonnes inthe .
»
quota forcotton fabrics and to 1400000tonnes forpetroleum products .
TheRegulations provide ,intheusual way ,for thesplitting upof
the Cjuato,volumes into twoparts ,ofwhich thefirst will beallocated
among theMember States asquota shares andthesecond will bekept
asa'*reserve .-

Theallocation t>fthefirst part ofeach quota hasbeen undertaken
>
according totherules generally applied hitherto .The total'
imports ofeach Member State forJ976 to1978 have been expressed
asaproportion oftotal Community imports over thesame period *
Theresulting percentages have been applied State byState tothe
volume ofthefirst'part ,thelast digit ofthenumber ofmetric ,
tons being rouded off . * 1
Theproposed Regulation onother cotton fabrics provides fora ,
single method ofadministration ,tobeapplied byallMember States ,
namely the "asandwhen "method .
However itisatpresent impossible toprovide forasingle method ,
\ *ofadministration ("asandwhen "oradvance allocation )ofthequota
forcertain petroleum products .Therules governing themarket in
/ ,
these products vary from oneMember State toanother ,W3ththeeffect
that theMember States regard theapplication ofasingle method .\
ofadministration asimpossible .Incontrast togeneral practice ,1'
j i
therefore ,each Member State will beempowered toadminister its
ownshare ofthequota according toitsownrules ,while ensuring ,
that all ,importers oftherelevant products have free among to
thequota .
