EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. The Supplementary Protocol annexed to t;he Agreement of  1972  between 
the European  Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic, completed 
by Council  Regulation (EEC) No  2370/81  laying down the arrangements 
applicable  to trade  between  Greece and Portugal, provides in article 9 
' for the opening of Community  tariff  quotas for the  wines  listed below ;

These  wines  will  remain subject to provision relating to the common 
organization  of the market in wine. 
2. The Regulations provide, in the  normal  way, that each of the volumes 
shall  be divided into two instalments, the first of which is to be 
allocated among the  Member  States  and the second held as a reserve. 
The allocation of the first instalment is usually based on  statistics 
for the three'-preceding years and on forecasts for the period in question. 
In the absence of specific Community  statistics  for  these  wines  the  ini­
tial quotas have been calculated on the basis of the most recent sta­
tistics  for Portuguese exports  from  1979  to 1981.  The Portuguese sta­
tistics  can in fact be considered to give a rough picture of Community 
imports  of the  wines  in question.

3. Owing  to the  special characteristics  of the  trade  in  these wines, which 
also  differ  between Member States,  the  regulation,/; exceptionally, does 
not establish  a uniform method  of  administration.

THE  COUNCIL  OF:  THE  EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having  regard  to the  Treaty establishing  the  European 
Economic  Community,  and in  particular  Article  113 
thereof, 
Having  regard  to the  proposal  from  the  Commission, 
Whereas  Article  9 of the  Supplementary Protocol  (l) to 
the1 Agreement between  the  European Economic 
Community  and the  Portuguese Republic (2), 
completed  by  Council  Regulation (EEC)  No  2370/81 
of 27  July  1981  laying  down  the  arrangements 
applicable  to trade  between Greece  and  Portugal (3), 
provides  that,  within  the  limits  of an  annual  Commu­
nity tariff  quota  of 5 025 hectolitres, customs duties  on 
imports into  the  Community  of Verde wines,  falling 
within  subheading  ex 22.05  C I a) of the  Common 
Customs  Tariff  and  originating  in Portugal,  shall  be 
reduced  by 30 % ;  whereas  these  wines must  be 
accompanied  by a certificate  of designation  of origin  ; 
Whereas  the  wines  in question  are  subject  to compli­
ance  with  the  free-at-frontier reference price; whereas 
the wines  in question  shall  benefit  from  this  tariff 
quota  on condition  that  Article  18 of  Council  Regula­
tion (EEC)  No  337/79 (4),  as last amended  by  Regula­
tion (EEC)  No3082/ 0. be  complied  with; 
82 
Whereas  it is in  particular necessary  to ensure  for  all 
Community  importers equal  and  uninterrupted access 
to the  abovementioned quota and uninterrupted  appli­
cation  of the  rates  laid  down  for  that  quota  to all 
imports  of the  products concerned into  all  Member 
States  until  the  quota  has  been used  up ;  whereas, having  regard  to the  above principles,  the Community 
nature  of the  quota can  be respected  by allocating  the 
Community  tariff  quota among  the  Member  States  ; 
whereas, in order  to reflect  as accurately  as possible  the 
actual  trend  of the  market  in the  products concerned, 
such  allocation should  be in  proportion  to the  require­
ments  of the  Member States, calculated  by reference  to 
the statistics  of  each  State's  imports  of the  said 
products  from  Portugal over  a representative reference 
period  and  also  to the  economic outlook  for the  quota 
period  in question  ; 
Whereas available Community statistics give  no infor­
mation  on the  situation  of  Verde wines  on the 
markets; whereas, however, Portuguese statistics  for 
exports  of these  products  to the  Community during 
the past  few years can  be considered  to reflect approxi­
mately  the  situation  of Community imports; whereas, 
on this basis,  the  corresponding imports  by each  of the 
Member  States  during  the  past  three  years represent 
the following  percentages  of the  imports into  the 
Community  from  Portugal  of the  products concerned;

submitted  by  certain Member States,  initial  quota 
shares  may be  fixed  approximately  at the  following 
percentages:

Whereas,  in order  to take into account import trends 
for the  products concerned  in the  various Member 
States,  the  quota volume should  be divided  into  two 
instalments,  the  first being allocated among  the 
Member  States  and the  second constituting  a reserve  to 
cover  at a  later  date  the requirements  of Member  States 
which  have used  up their  initial  quota  shares  ; whereas, 
in order  to give importers  in each Member State  a 
certain  degree  of security,  the  first instalment  of the 
Community  quota should, under  the  present  circum­
stances,  be fixed  at 74 % of the  quota volume; 
Whereas  the  Member States'  initial  shares  may be  used 
up at different times  ; whereas,  in order  to take this 
fact into account  and  avoid  any  break  in continuity, 
any Member State  which  has  almost used  up its  initial 
share  must draw  an additional  share  from  the  reserve; 
whereas this must  be done  by each Member State  as 
and when each  of its  additional  shares  is almost  en­
tirely  used  up, and  repeated  as many times  as the 
reserve  allows;  whereas  the  initial  and  additional 
shares  must  be valid  until  the end of the  quota period  ; 
whereas this method  of administration requires close 
cooperation  between  the  Member  States  and the 
Commission,  and the  Commission  must  be in a  posi­
tion to monitor  the extent  to which  the  quota volume 
has been used  up and  inform  the  Member  States 
thereof; 
Whereas  if, at a  given  date  in the  quota period,  a 
considerable quantity remains unused  in any  Member 
State,  it is  essential  that that  Member State should 
return  a significant proportion  to the  reserve  to 
prevent  a part  of the  Community quota  from  remain­
ing unused  in one  Member State when  it could  be 
used in others; 
Whereas, since  the  Kingdom  of  Belgium,  the 
Kingdom  of the  Netherlands  and the  Grand  Duchy  of 
Luxembourg  are united  within  and  jointly  represented 
by the  Benelux Economic  Union,  any  operation 
relating  to the  administration  of the  quota  shares  allo­
cated  to that  economic union  may be  carried  out by 
any one of its  members, 
HAS  ADOPTED  THIS  REGULATION  : 
Article  1

Article  3 
1. If 90 % or  more  of a  Member  State's  initial  share 
as specified  in Article  2 (2), or of  that  share  minus  the 
portion  returned  to the  reserve, where  Article  5 is 
applied,  has  been used  up,  that  Member State  shall 
without  delay,  by notifying  the  Commission,  draw  a 
second  share  equal  to 10 % of its  initial  share, 
rounded  up where necessary  to the  next unit,  to the 
extent permitted  by the  amount  of the  reserve.

- 3 -ANNEX  A 
2. If,  after  its initial  share  has  been used  up, 90 % 
or more  of the  second share drawn  by a  Member  State 
has been used  up,  that  Member  State  shall,  in accor­
dance,  with  the  conditions  laid  down  in paragraph  1,

has been used  up,  that  Member  State  shall,  in accor­
dance  with  the  same conditions, draw  a fourth share 
equal  to the  third. 
This  process  shall  continue  until  the  reserve  is used 
up. 
4. By way  of derogation  from  paragraphs  1, 2 and 3, 
a Member  State  may  draw shares smaller than those

,THE  COUNCIL  OF THE  EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having  regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic  Community, and in particular  Article  113 
thereof, 
Having  regard to the proposal  from  the  Commission, 
Whereas  Article  9 of the Supplementary  Protocol  ('), to

Community  and the Portuguese  Republic  (2), 
completed  by Council  Regulation (EEC) No 2370/81 
of 27  July  1981  laying  down the arrangements

tion (EEC) No 337/79 (4), as last amended by Regula­
tion (EEC)  No3082/  (0> be complied  with;

Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure for all 
Community  importers equal and uninterrupted access 
to the abovemehtioned quotas and uninterrupted 
application  of the  rates  laid  down for  that  quota to all 
imports of the products concerned into all Member 
States  until  the quota has been used up; whereas,

nature  of the quota can be respected by  tillointing  the 
Community  tariff  quota among the Member  States  ; 
whereas, in order to reflect as accurately as possible the 
actual  trend of the market in the products concerned, 
such  allocation should be in proportion to the require­
ments of the Member States, calculated by reference to 
the statistics of each  State's  imports of the said 
products  from  Portugal over a representative reference

Whereas available Community statistics give no  infor­
mation  on the situation of Dao wines on the markets; 
whereas, however, Portuguese statistics for exports of 
these  products to the Community during the  past  few 
years can be considered to reflect approximately the 
situation  of Community imports; whereas, on this 
basis, the corresponding imports by each of the 
Member  States  during the  past  three  years represent 
the following  percentages of the imports into the 
Community  from  Portugal of the products concerned :

Whereas, in  view  of these  factors and of the estimates 
submitted by certain Member States,  initial  quota 
shares  may be  fixed  approximately at the  following 
percentages :

p. 1 Whereas, in order to take into account import trends 
for the products concerned in the various Member 
States, the quota volume should be  divided  into two 
instalments, the first being allocated among the 
Member  States  and the second constituting a reserve to 
cover  at a later  date  the requirements of Member  States 
which  have used up their  initial  quota  shares  ; whereas, 
in order to give importers in each Member State a 
certain  degree of security, the first instalment of the 
Community  quota should, under the present  circum­
stances, be  fixed  at 74 % of the quota volume ; 

- 2 - ANNEX  B 
Whereas  the  Member States'  initial  shares  may be  used 
up at different times  ; whereas,  in order  to take this 
fact into account  and  avoid  any  break  in continuity, 
any Member State  which  has  almost used  up its  initial 
share  must draw  an additional  share  from  the  reserve  ; 
whpreas  this must  be done  by each Member State  as 
and when each  of its  additional  shares  is almost 
entirely  used  up, and  repeated  as many times  as the 
reserve allows  ; whereas  the  initial  and  additional 
shares  must  be valid  until  the end of the  quota period  ; 
whereas this method  of administration requires close 
cooperation  between  the  Member  States  and the 
Commission,  and the  Commission  must  be in a  posi­
tion to monitor  the extent  to which  the  quota volume 
has been used  up and  inform  the  Member  States 
thereof  ; 
Whereas  if, at a  given  date  in the  quota period,  a 
considerable quantity remains unused  in any  Member 
State,  it is  essential  that that  Member State should 
return  a significant proportion  to the  reserve  to 
prevent  a part  of the  Community quota  from  remain­
ing unused  in one  Member State when  it could  be 
used in others  ; 
Whereas, since  the  Kingdom  of  Belgium,  the 
Kingdom  of thé  Netherlands  and the  Grand  Duchy  of 
Luxembourg  are united  within  and  jointly  represented 
by the  Benelux Economic  Union,  any  operation 
relating  to the  administration  of the  quota  shares  allo­
cated  to that  economic union  may be  carried  out by 
any one of its  members, ties. This  certificate must  be in  accordance  with 
Article  2 (2)  to (4) of Regulation  (EEC)  No  1120/75  ('). 
3. The  wines  in question  are  subject  to compliance 
with the  free-at-frontier reference price. 
The wines  in question  shall  benefit  from  this  tariff 
quota  on condition  that  the  provisions  of Article  18 of 
Regulation  (EEC)  No  337/79  are  complied  with. 
Article  2 
1. The  tariff  quota  laid  down  in Article  1 shall  be 
divided  into  two  instalments. 
2. A first instalment  of the  quota  shall  be allocated 
among  the  Member  States  ; the shares,  which  subject 
to Article  5 shall  be valid  up to  30 June  198V,  shall  be 
as follows  : 
— Benelux  : 575  hectolitres 
— Denmark:  150 hectolitres 
— Germany  : 255  hectolitres 
— Greece  : 2  hectolitres 
— France:  188 hectolitres 
— Ireland  : 25  hectolitres 
— Italy : 5  hectolitres 
— United  Kingdom  : 320  hectolitres 
3. The  second instalment  of the  quota, amounting 
to 490  hectolitres,  shall  constitute  the  reserve.

applied,  has  been used  up,  that  Member State  shall 
without  delay,  by notifying  the  Commission,  draw  a 
second  share  equal  to 10 % of its  initial  share, 
rounded  up where necessary  to the  next unit,  to the 
extent permitted  by the  amount  of the  reserve. 
2. If,  after  its initial  share  has  been used  up, 90 % 
or more  of the  second  share  drawn  by a  Member State 
has been used  up,  that  Member State  shall,  in accor­
dance  with  the  conditions  laid  down  in paragraph  1, 
draw  a third  share  equal  to 5 % of its  initial  share, 
rounded  up  where necessary  to the  next unit. 
3. If,  after  its second  share  has  been used  up, 90 % 
or more  of the  third  share  drawn  by a  Member State 
has been used  up,  that  Member State  shall,  in accor­
dance  with  the  same conditions, draw  a fourth  share 
equal  to the  third. 
This  process  shall  continue  until  the  reserve  is used 
up.

of the  initial  volume. They  may  return  a larger quan­
tity if there  are grounds  for believing  that  this quantity 
may not be  used. 
Each  Member  State  shall,  not  later than  1 April  198?, 
notify  the  Commission  of the  total quantities  of the 
said goods imported  up to 15  March  198V  inclusive
