EXt-'LANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.Article 3ofthe Agreement between theEuropean Economic
Community andMalta ,read with Articles 1and 2ofAnnex I

theimportation into theCommunity ofthefollowing products ,
originating inMalta ,atthequota duties specified below :

garments 300
2.Atitssession ofh/5June 1973 however ,theCouncil agreed that
Malta should betreated ,asfrom 1January 197^,noless favourably
than countries eligible for theGeneralised System ofPreferences .
This undertaking implies that thetreatment hitherto granted to
Malta will beimproved comparably .Inthecurrent situation ,this
I,
improvement mayconsist inaautonomous 50%increase ofthequota
amounts fixed intheEEC/Kalta Agreement ,and total "suspension
ofduties inthe CCT and the national Customs tariff ofeach ofthe
Member States .
•••/•••

-2-
3.TheRegulations provide ,intheusual way ,forthesplitting
upofthetariff volumes into twoparts ,ofwhich thefirst
will beallocated among theMember States asquota shares and
the second will bekept asareserve .
k.'i'heallocation ofthefirst part ofthequotas for theproducts
falling within thetariff headings 55*0 ;?and60.05 hasbeen
undertaken according totherules generally applied hitherto .
Thetotal imports ofeach Member State for1971f 1972 and1973
have been expressed asaproportion oftotal Community imports
over thesame period .The resulting percentages have been
applied State byState tothe volume ofthe first part ,the
last digit ofthenumber ofmetric tons being rounded off .
5.However ,itdoes not seem appropriate toapply this rule tothe
tariff quota forman-made fibres (56.0^)andouter garments (60.05 )
since :
(a)import figures forcertain Member States varied considerably
from year toyear ;
(b)other Member States imported none atall ;
(c)total Community imports arelower than theagreed tariff quota
volumes ; r. • i
(d)itisdifficult toforecast future imports .
Inorder nevertheless toallocate the quota volume fairly among the
Member States according totheii 4respective sizes ,theCommission
works ontheassumption that save inexceptional cases each Member
State must beable toclaim a :considerable initial benefit from a.
Community measure ofthis nature .The extent towhich itmaybenefit
must reflect past requirements andaim tobalance theMember States'
advantages and liabilities asfar aspossible .
1.7
According /theproposed allocation works asfollows .Theminumum
share inthe first part ofthe quota will be :
(i)10%forStates which previously effected noimports ;
(ii)10%plus aquantity reflecting past imports inthecase of
States which previously effected low imports .
