Explanatory memorandum
"I. Article 13of'Council Reputation (EEC)No1180 /77of17May'1977
onimports into theCommunity ofcertain agricultural products origina -
*1ting inTurkey provides fortheopening ,with effect from 1July 1977 ,
of annual Community tariff quota of90tonnes ,forapricot pulp
tailing within subheading ex20.06 8IIc).1aa)oftheCommon Customs
Tariff ,'originating inTurkey ,ataduty corresponding to70%ofthe
customs duties actually applied inrespect ofnon-member countries ,-v
Such aquota wasopened fortheperiod from 1July 1979 to30June
1980byRegulation (EEC)No1184/79of12June19792.
"2. The aimofthis proposal istoopen thequota concerned forthe
period from 1July 1980 to30June 198%
3. Inaccordance with theprinciples normally followed ,theallocation
ofthequota volume among theMember States should bebased onprevious
andforeseeable imports bytheMember States ,specifically those origina­
ting inorcoming from Turkey .Imports ofthese products from Turkey
have been negligible ornon-existent finrecent years .Furthermore ,
theMember States cannot make forecasts forthequota period under
consideration . -
' »
Consequently ,pending amore Community-based administration of .
this quota ,based ontheexperience acquired ,the
Commission considers that itcanpropose theextension ofthe system
adopted bytheCouncil forthecurrent quota period ,namely theallo­
cation ofalarge portion ofthequota volume totheCommunity reserve
andtheallocation ofequal initial quota-shares ,corresponding to
one-seventh oftheremainder oftheq^ota ,totheMember States .
