Theduties tobeapplied arefixed bytheAgreement at"45%,.of theCommon

concerning theduties tobeapplied bythenewMember States .Similarly ,
certain provisions oftheAotHsonoerning theConditions ofAccession and

Tofulfil theCommunity 'sobligation totheAREin1976 ,regulations should be
adopted opening ,allocating andproviding fortheadministration ofthese
Community tariff quotas .
This isthepurpose .oftheproposals annexed hereto .
Thefollowing ,remarks ,ayeJieoessary oonceming thequota assigned tothe
Member States ,oftheCommunity asoriginally constituted !
> . <•
(a)Theregulations provide ,asistherule ,foreaoh ofthequotas to
bedivided into twoinstalments ,thefirst ofwhich isallocated
among theMember States 'oonoemed while theseoond constitutes the
reserve .
r
(b)Theallocation ofthefirst instalment isusually based onthestatistics
fortheprevious three years andtheforecasts forthequota period
,concerned * -Thus ,each Member State 'simports ofother woven fabrics of
cotton (55*09 )during theyears 1972.-74 -were compared with imports into
theCommunity as ;-originally constituted over thesame period .Thfl
resulting percentages have been applied tothis first instalment bythe
Z'ihys'Ai'ft j/fca&er Z*.&iest
However ,itdoes notappear desirable toapply this prinoiple to
petroleum products -(Chapter 27)»since s
(i)oneMember State 'simports were insignificant ,
(ii).there were noimports atallinto theother five Member States , ,,
(iii)total imports into theCommunity asoriginally constituted were
small incomparison with thequota tobealJ^a+^ri

(iv)itisvery difficult todraw upforecasts offuture imports .
However ,inorder toachieve ,nevertheless ,-afair andweighted allocation
ofthis qtiota among theMember States concerned ,theCommission isworking
ontheassui^tion th£.t ,inallbutquite exceptional cases ,each Member
State must heable toplay attheoutset asignificant part intheapplication
ofaCommunity measure such asthetariff quotas .Such anallocation must
"beaimed atevening outas .faraspossible amQng theMember States the
advantages andresponsibilities resulting from this measure .Obviously ,
Ihisformula will havetoheadapted subsequently inthelight ofanytrad©

Theproposal foraregulation onother woven fabrics ofcotton provides
foralltheMember States toapply the"asandwhen"method ofadministrac *
tion .Ontheother hand ,itisnotyetpossible toprovide forasingle
method ofadministration (whether "asandwhen"orprior allocation )for
thequota forcertain petroleum products *Thenational provisions

apply acommon methoc ^.p^.administration *Inthese circumstances ,each
