notexceed tholimits permitted byftecision nol/75on "theappli-
c-dion oftheterms ofparagraph 3ofProtocol no10ofthe Asso-
ziation Ajreennnt between theCommunity andGreece .This Decision
the
lays down that Community may ,without theapproval ofthe Asso­
ciation Council FED/Oreece ,open atariff quota ofailamount not
exceeding 25$oftheCommunity imports ofthese products from third .countrirp
notassociated orlinked with itbyapreferential agreement
during the latest year forwhich statistics are

These imports in1975 have amounted to58660metric tons ,sothe
Community tariff quota must befixed for1977 atanamoxint of14665
metric tons .
Since theCommunity tariff quota inquestion isrelatively small
pndwill undoubtedly beused upquickly ijitheMember States it
does not seem that anallocation ofitinshares among theMember
States would derogate from theCommunity nature thereof .Such a
solution haspreviously been availed incases ofthii nature .
