EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Article 20oftheCooperation Agreement between theEuropean Ecor­
■nomic Community andtheRepublic ofTunisia completed bytheAdao-
tion Protocol consequent ontheaccession ofGreece provides forthe
opening ofanannual Community .tariff quota of50000 hifortheduty
free importation into theCommunity ofcertain wines having are­
gistered designation oforigin falling within subheading ex22.05 C
>oitheCCToriginating inTunisia .These wines must beputupincon
tainers holding two litres'or less .
-Accordingly this tariff quota hastobeopened .
*·
TheRegulation maikes provision -asitisusual -forthedivision of
thequota volume into twoinstalments ,thefirst ofwhich isalloca­
tedbyshares amongst allMember States ,while thesecond constitutes a
reserve . - ■ ■
Theallocation ofthe first instalment isusually onthestatistical
data ofthe last three years andestimates fortheperiod inquestion .
Inthis case ,however ,neither Community notnational statistical data
split upbythetypes ofthewines into question areavailable and no
estimates canbeput forward .Inthese circumstances initial shares
should beestablished -fortaking into account .thepossibilities ofcon­
sumption ofthese wines ineach ofthe Member States .
Itisproposed that theproposal for a'Council Regulation opening the
Community tariff quota described above should beapproved .
