EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
I.Onthebasis ofacommitment entered intowith Spain atthe
time ofthesignature oftheEECSpain Agreement ,each year
theCommunity opens annual Community tariff quotas at
reduced rates ofduty ,inrespect ofcertain wines falling
within subheading ex22.05 CIIIoftheCCT ,originating
inSpain ,asindicated below
Jerez wines :
40000hi,incontainers holding twolitres orless ,
atrates of5.4UA/hland5.8 .UA/hl,
210000hi,incontainers holding more than twolitres ,
atrates of5.5UA/hland 60UA/hl;
Malaga wines :
15000hi,incontainers holding twolitres orless ,
atrates of8.5UA/hland9.5UA/hl;
wmes from Jumilla ,Priorato Rioja andValdepeñas :
15000hi,incontainers holding twolitres orless ,
atrates of8.4UA/hl,9.8UA/hlor11.9 UA/hl.
These tariff quotas relate only toimports into theCommunity
asoriginally constituted andatpresent cover theyear 1977 *.
2.The special tariff treatment applied bythethree newMember
States toimports oftheproducts inquestion from Spain will
end on30June ofthis year .Import arrangements must be
aligned throughout theCommunity from 1July 1977 onwards ,
since pursuant totheActofAccession andinparticular

OJNoL350 ,20.12.1976 ,page 9.

2
obliged toapply toimports oftheproducts inquestion the
customs duties set out inthe Common Customs Tariff .
3.Since itishardly tobeassumed that theadditional protocol
onwhich negotiations between theCommunity andSpain began
on6May 1977 will beapplicable from 1July 1977 ,the
Commission considers that inthese circumstances the Commu­
nity tariff quotas referred toabove should beextended to
cover thethree newMember States .Similarly account should
betaken oftheestimated volume ofimports ofthewines
inquestion into those three Member States inthesecond
half ofthecurrent year and thequota volumes should be
increased accordingly .This would result inthefollowing
increases :
34000hiforwines from Jerez incontainers holding two
litres orless ,
237000hiforwines from Jerez incontainers holding more
than two litres ,and
3500hiforwines from Jumilla ,Priorato ,Rioja and
Valdepenas incontainers holding twolitres orless .
Inaccordance with normal practice ,aportion ofeach ofthese
additional volumes would beallocated toeach ofthe three Member
States concerned and theremainder allocated toexisting
Community reserves .
4.This tariff measure should beapplicable from 1July 1977 .
Itisessential that itbeadopted asrapidly aspossible .
