EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The purpose ofthis memorandum istosubmit tothe Council
adraft Regulation ontheopening ,allocation andadministration
ofanautonomous duty free Community tariff quota for rosins
falling within subheading 38.08AoftheCCT for1975 which
does not exceed thelimits permitted byProtocol No10annexed
totheAgreement between theCommunity and Greece .This Protocol
lays down that the Community may ,without the approval ofthe
Association Council EEC/Greece ,open atariff quota ofan
amount notexceeding 15%oftheCommunity imports ofthese
products from not associated third countries during the latest
year for which statistics are available .
Since the imports ofthese products in1973 have risen to
171.16 ^metric tons ,theCommunity tariff quota must befixed
atanamount of25-673 metric tons .Since theCommunity tariff
quota inquestion isrelatively small and will undoubtedly be
used upquickly intheMember States itdoes not seem that an
allocation ofitinshares among theMember States would
derogate from :theCommunity nature thereof .Such asolution
has previously been availed incases ofthis nature .
