REGULATION (EEC )OFTHECOUNCIL
ontheopening ,allocation andadministration ofaCommunity
tariff quota forcertain petroleum products falling within

THECOUNCIL OFTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,
and inparticular Article 113thereof ;
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ;
Whereas theAgreement between theEuropean Economic Community andtheArab
Republic ofEgypt (hereinafter called "theAgreement ")andtheProtocol
laying down certain provisions concerning that Agreement inconsequence ofthe
Accession ofnewMember States totheEuropean Economic Community (hereinafter
called "theProtocol ")provides fortheopening ofanannual Community tariff
quota of360000metric tons forcertain petroleum products falling within
Chapter 27oftheCommon Customs Tariff ,refined intheArab Republic ofEgypt ;
whereas under theProtocol thetariff quota should beallocated among theMember
States asfollows :200000metric tons fortheCommunity asoriginally
constituted ,5000metric tons forDenmark ,5000metric tons forIreland and
150000metric tons fortheUnited Kingdom ;whereas Annex ItotheAgreement
provides that theduties applicable tothequota shall beequal toV5 ofthe
duties oftheCommon Customs Tariff ;whereas asregards theduties tobeapplied
tothequota "bythenewMember States ,thespecial provisions oftheProtocol
andoftheActofAccession^' should beobserved ;whereas aCommunity tariff

inorder totake account of-import trends fortheproducts Inquestion
intheMember States concerned ,thequota amount should bedivided
into twotranches ,thefirst tranche being allocated among thesame
Member States ,thesecond tranche constituting areserve intended to
cover thelater requirements ofMember States which have used uptheir
initial quota shares ;whereas inorder toensure acertain degree of
security toimporters ineach Member State ,thefirst tranche ofthe
quota should befixed inthis case atapproximately 70&
theinitial quota shares maybeused upatdifferent rates ;whereas ,
therefore ,toavoid disruption ofsupplies ,anyMember State which has
almost used upitsinitial quota share ,must draw anadditional quota
'share from thereserve ;whereas this must bedone byeaeh Member
State aseach oneofitsadditional quota shares isalmost used up,
andasmany times asthereserve allows ;whereas theinitial and
additional quota shares must bevalid until theendofthequota period ;
whereas this form ofadministration requires close collaboration
between theMember States concerned andtheCommission ,andthe
■Commission must beinaposition tofollow theextent towhich the
■quota volume hasbeen used upandinform theMember States thereof ; .
• ' * .I
if,at .a'given date inthequota period ,a.considerable quantity of
theinitial quota share isleft over in .aMember State ,itisessential
that that' state should return asignificant proportion tothereserve ,
toprevent apart ofthe .sillocatsd' quota to .theCommunity asoriginally
