ThoAgreement establishing anAssociation botueen thoEuropean Economic

together with thoProtocol laying down !certain provisions relating to
that Agreement consequent ontheaccession ofnew .Member States totho
European Economic Comnynity (Article 2),provides fortheperiod.untii
*
30June1977 (endofthefirst stage oftheAgreement )fortheopening ofthe
following Community ,tariff quotas forproducts originating inCyprus :

carded ,coir.b'Gd orotherwise prepared.#
for spin~2naf
61.01Ken fsand "boys' outer garments 500 metric tons
Ajoint declaration onArticle 2oftheabovementioned Protocol also provides
forthose quotas toboallocated asfollows between thoMember -States :
V.•• 56.04 ' 61.01
(a)totheCommunity asoriginally 70motrio tons 100metric tons
constituted
0>)tothenewMember States • 30metric tons 400metrio tons
Since theAgreement doesnotprovide fortheapplication oftheprorata teraporis
clause forthefirst half-year of1977tariff quotas covering thewhole ofthese
amounts have tobeopened .
Theduties tobeapplied arefixed bytheAgreement at30$oftheCommon
Customs Tariff duties forthoproduots concerned .Hpwevcy ,Artiolcs 3to
7oftheabovementioned Protocol also pontain special provisions concerning
viieduties tobeapplied bythenewMember' States .Similarly ,certain
provisions oftheActconcerning theConditions ofAccession andthoAdjust­
ments tothoTr.eaties roust "beoomplied with when fixing these duties .

Inorder to .fulfil theCommunity 'sobligation toCyprus in1977 ,regulations
should hoadopted opening ,allocating andproviding ,fortheadministration
ofthose Community tariff quotas .

This is'thepurpose oftheproposals annexed hereto .

Thefollowing remarks arenecessary concerning thequotas assigned to
theMember States of ■theCommunity asoriginally constituted :
•I
* >
«.Theregulations provide ,asistherule ,fov >each ofthequotas to
"bedivided into twoinstalments ,thefirst ofwhich isallocated among
theMember States vconcernea while the second constitutes thereserve .
_Theallocation ofthefirst instalment ,isusually "based onthestatistics
.fortheprevious three years andtheforecasts forthequota period con­
cerned .However ,this principle cannot heapplied totheproducts
inquestion , forthere were noimports of
these products during theyears 1973–75 forecasts for 1977 0a,nr '°*
"bedrawn tipineither case .Inthese :circumstances andsothat the
•quotas assigned totheCommunity asoriginally constituted canneverthe –
,less heequitably allocated among Member States ,itappears desirable to
provide forasignificant share ofthequota amount foreach oftheoriginal
Member State# Obviously jthis formula will have tobeadapted subsequently
inthelight ofaotuai trade movements# •'
Comments concerning theamounts provided forinrespect ofthenewMember States
–Itisalso proposed todivide thequota amounts into twoinstalments asfor
theoriginal Member States .
-Exactly thesame problem asfortheCommunity asoriginally constituted arises
inconnection with allocating each ofthefirst instalments .Insignificant
amounts were imported into theUnited Kingdom only (tariff heading 5^»04 )»
Consequently thesolution setoutinparagraph 3isproposed inthis case
also . - "
