EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.1 TheAgreements tobeconcluded between theEuropean Economic Community
and thePeople 'sDemocratic Republic ofAlgeria provides inArticle 20
for theopening ofanannual Community tariff quota for thedutyfree
importation into theCommunity ofcertain wines ofdesignation of
origin falling within subheading ex22.05 CoftheCCToriginating in
Algeria .Thevolume ofthequota for theperiod from 1July 1978 to
30June 1979 isfixed bytheAgreement and is400000hectolitres of
which 170000 hiisfor wines inbulk and 230 000 hifor wines in
bottle .Inorder toqualify for this system thewines inbulk must
beputupinaccordance with aseries ofrequirements .According to
theprovisions thewines inbulk maybetransported only incontainers
ofacapacity notexceeding 25hectolitres .However ,onaccount ofvarious
difficulties encounted byAlgerian exprters ,the Commission proposed ,
:on21December 1977 ,toraise this maximum content to200 hltasa
temporary measure .Since thedecision oftheCouncil isstill awaited
-and thedifficulties continue ,theCommifpion proposes the s«me .
derogation forthequota period 1978/7?.V/ines inbottle must bein
containers holding 2litres orless .
2.1TheRegulation makes provision -asisusual -forthedivision of
each ofthequota volumes into twoinstalments ,thefirst ofwhich is
allocated byshares amongst allMember States ,while thesecond
constitutes areserve .The allocation ofthe first instalment is
usually based onthestatistical data ofthelast three years and
estimates for theperiod inquestion .
2.2 Inthis case ,however ,neither Community nornational statistical
data split upbythetypes ofthewines inquestion areavailable
andnoestimates canbeputforward .Inthese circumstances initial
shares should beestablished fortaking into account thepossibilities
ofconsumption ofthese wines ineach oftheMember States .
3.Itisproposed that theproposal foraCouncil Regulation opening
theCommunity tariff quota described above should beapproved .
