EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.The draft Regulation annexed hereto concerns the erga omnes
Community tariff quota tobeopened for1975 inrespect of
dried grapes inimmediate containers ofanet capacity of
15kgorless falling within subheading No08.0*f BIofthe
Common Customs Tariff .
Provision wasfirst made forsuch quota inthe trade agreement
concluded between theCommunity andIran .Since ,however ,
that agreement expired on30November 1973 and wasnot renewed ,
the Community considered itdesirable toopen anautonomous
tariff quota of197^j forwhich purpose theterms and
conditions forthat agreement were retained (Regulation
(EEC )No3592/73of28December 1973 -0JHoI,365of
31December 1973 )•
Attheconsultation meeting held on31May197^1 thedelegations
oftheMember States pronounced themselves infavour ofthe
opening on1January 1975 ofanautonomous tariff quota for
10960metric tons ofdried grapes ataduty of1.2& ,the
quota tobeallocated among theMember States inproportion
totheir respective 1973 imports from non-associated third
countries .
2.Since theCommunity tariff quota inquestion isrelatively small
compared with total imports into theCommunity andsince all
theMember States will undoubtedly exhaust their shares rapidly ,
adivision ofthequota into shares allocated definitively to
each Member State would not appear tocompromise theCommunity
nature ofthe quota .This solution has been adopted insimilar
situations inthepast .
3»Theshares tobeallocated onthis basis totheMember States ,
and their respective total 1973 imports from non-associated
third countries ,areshown inthefollowing table :
