.THE COUNCIL OFTHE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard tothe Treaty establishing the
European Economic Community ,and inparticular
Article ?8'hereof ,
Having regard tothedraft Regulation submitted by
theCommission ,
Whereas theproduction intheCommunity and in
Greece ofrosin falling within subheading 38.03 A
ofthe Common Customs Tariff iscurrently
insufficient to meet the requirements cf the
processing industries inthe Community ;whereas ,
consequently ,Community supplies ofproducts of
this type currently depend toaconsiderable extent
onimports from third countries :
Whereas ,under Decision No 1/75oftheAssociation
Council on the application ofparagraph 3of
Protocol .No 10totheAgreement establishing an
Association between theEuropean Economic Com­
munity and Greece ,the Comrnunpy may open
autonomous tariff quotas forrosin piovuLti that ,
fortheCommunity asawhole ,theannual quotas
donotexceed 25% oftheCommunity 'simports
from third countries not associated with orlinked
toitbyapreferential agreement during thelastyear
forwhich statistics arcavailable ;whereas themost
urgent Community requirements fortheproducts in
question should benict immediately onthemust
favourable terms ;whereas anilduty Community
tariff quota should therefore beopened within the
limits oftheabove amount ;
Whereas ,in1976theimports ofrosin from third
countr.os not associated with orlinked totheCom­
munity byapreferential agreement were asfollows :tnmetric Ions
Bénélux 15.961
Denrr.ark 259
Germany 26.443
France 9.767
Ireland 214
Italy10.206
United Kingdom 21.199
Total 84.049
Whereaj 25% ofthistotal represents 21 >=013metric
tons ;
Whereas ,inview ofthe negligible siz.c ofsu.h
aquota incomparison with the Community' 1
requirements ,asystem ofutilization should ,without
derogating from theCommunity nature ofthetariff
quora ,b*provided ,based onasingle allocation
between theMember States ;whereas this allocation
should becalculated bythesame method a?iisused
toestablish atora ,iiota of25% ofthe imports
ofeach Member St.; -mithesame third counuie.y
