EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.Article 2oftheAgreement between theEuropean Economic Community
andSpain ,read with Articles 2,3and 4ofAnnex Ithereto ,provides
for theopening ofCommunity tariff quotas fortheimportation into
theCommunity ofthefollowing products ,originating inSpain ,at
thequota duties specified below :
CCTheading No.Product Annual Volume Quota duty
Chapter Certain petroleum products i200ooot;
at40%ôfthe
55.09 Other cotton fabrics 1800 t ;ICCTduties
2.However ,this regime hasbeen provided only fortheimportation of
•these products into thesixoriginal Member States ,whereas the three
newMember States have applied different regimes .According tothe
Act ofAccession theimportation ofthese products into thethree
newMember States aresubject totherates ofduty oftheCommon
Customs Tariff from 1July 1977 . .
Inthis situation ,auniform regime ofimportation should beestablished .
Hence theforementioned quota volumes should beincreased insuch a
manner astotake account ofthetraditional quantities imported inthe
new Member States .This leads toanincrease to 1900 tonnes inthe
quota forcotton fabrics and to 1400000tonnes forpetroleum products .
3.TheRegulations provide ,intheusual way ,forthesplitting upof
theCjuata ,volumes into twoparts ,ofwhich thefirst will beallocated
among theMember States asquota shares andthesecond will bekept
as areserve .

I
~2~
■\
/
Theallocation ofthefirst part ofeach quota hasbeen undertaken
according totherules generally applied hitherto .Thetotal
imports ofeach Member State for1975 to1577 have been expressed
asaproportion oftotal Community imports over thesame period .
Theresulting percentages have been applied State byState tothe
volume ofthefirst part ,thelast digit ofthenumber ofmetric
tons bemg rouded off .
Theproposed Regulation onother cotton fabrics provides fora
single method ofadministration ,tobeapplied byallMember States ,
namely the "asandwhen "method . *
However itisatpresent impossible toprovide for asingle method
ofadministration ("asandwhen "or-advance allocation )ofthequota
forcertain petroleum products .Therules governing themarket in
these products vary from oneMember State toanother ,with theeffect
that theMember States regard theapplication ofasingle method
ofadministration asimpossible .Incontrast togeneral practice ,
therefore ,each Member State will beempowered toadminister its
ownshare ofthequota according toitsownrules ,while ensuring .
that allimporters oftherelevant products have free among to
thequota .
