EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.Asaresult ofnegotiations with Turkey ontheadjustments to
bemade totheAssociation Agreement between thatcountry andthe
Community andtheAdditional Protocol ,totake account ofthe
accession ofnewMember States ,theCommunity signed inAnkara on
30June 1973 aSupplementary Protocol which will enter into force
once ithasbeen ratified .
Inthemeantime ,theCommunity hasconcluded anInterim Agreement
which intheory runs only fortheperiod prior totheentry into
force ofthisSupplementary Protocol butmaynot ,inanycase ,
extend beyond 31December 197^,inorder toimplement ,from
1January 197k ,certain provisions ofthatProtocol relating to
trade ingoods .
2.Intheabovementioned Supplementary Protocol andInterim
Agreement ,provision ismade inparticular fortheopening of
annual Community tariff quotas forthefollowing products ,subject
totheconditions laid down foreach product :

5»Itisnot atpresent possible tosaywhether thetariff measures
proposed forTurkey under these agreements axe tobegranted for
1975 onthebasis oftheSupplementary Protocol oroftheInterim
Agreement ,whose period ofvalidity would have tobeextended .
Theattached Proposals forRegulations ,arebased on
theSupplementary Protocol andcould therefore bemodified should
theProtocol notcome into force on1January 1975 .
Another problem arises inconnection with thesize ofthequotas to
beopened for1975 1inview ofthedecision taken bytheAssociation
Council onJOJune 1975 togrant Turkey treatment asfavourable as
that granted tocountries benefiting from generalized tariff
preferences .
Ahthedecisions onthesystem tobeapplied tothedeveloping
countries will not betaken until very late this year ,since they are
dependent atleast inpart onthenegotiations ofagreements under
the "multi fibres ",arrangement ,itseemed appropriate
tomake provision ,inthe proposals for1975 1for theinitial
adjustment tobeidentical tothat made for197^andforthesituation
tobereviewed either during theCouncil 'sdeliberations ifthat were
possible ,orifnecessary in1975 »

-3-
4.Theadjustment oftheadvantages referred tounder 3,would
therefore consist in:
(i)thegranting oftotal suspension oftheapplicable customs
duties anda50#increase inthetariff quotas forthetwo
textile products ;
(ii)thegranting ofatariff quota of160metric tons ,atazero
rate ofduty ,forcertain carpets ofwool oroffine hair
(heading Noex58.01 A);
(iii)provision forareview oftheabove tariff quotas andofthe
quota forcertain petroleum products (Chapter 27ofthe
Common Customs Tariff ).
5»Asregards theeconomic information tobeused indetermining
thebasis fortheproposed allocation ofthetariff quotas concerned ,
itshould beremarked that they should bebased principally onMember
States' imports ,actual andestimated ,specifically originating inor
coming from Turkey forthecategories ofproducts considered .
Thus ,although ithasbeen possible todraw uptheappropriate
information fortheyears 1971 to1973 ,nevertheless because ofthe
irregularity noted inimports during these reference years ,it
notnecessarily been possible todeduce anyfirm basis ofassessment .
Forthis reason ,asiscustomary ,thequota volumes attributed tothe
original Community have been
•/•

- --if-
divided into twotranches ,thefirst tranche being allocated among '
theMember States ,andthe .second held asareserve tocover any
additional requirements which might come tolight inthose Member States .
Thequotas ofthenewMember States arefixed inaccordance with theprovisions
of"paragraph 2,uplifted asindicated inparagraph 4above .
6.TheProposal foraRegulation ontextile products provides for
asingle method ofcounting imports against quota shares inthe
Member States concerned ,namely asandwhen they areentered for
home use .Ontheother hand ,itisnot atpresent possible to
provide forasingle administrative method (asandwhen entered or
prior allocation )forthequota concerning petroleum products .For
theprovisions governing themarket inthese products onanational
level very often differ frota oneMember State toanother ,andthis
makes asingle administrative method impossible .Inthese
circumstances ,each Member State will bepermitted ,asanexceptional
measure ,toadminister itsquota inaccordance with itsown
provisions ,while ensuring free access tothe quota' forimporters
ofthese products .
7.Itshould benoted inaddition that theproposed rules for
allocation ofthetariff quotas among Member States andthemethod
♦ »
ofadministering thequotas have already been examined atameeting
ofthe "Economic Tariff problems "working party on16and
17April 197^,andthat they were unanimously agreed bythedelegations of
the Membor States .

of .
opening ,allocating andproviding for theadministration
ofaCommunity tariff quota forcertain petroleum products
falling within Chapter 27oftheCommon Customs Tariff
(1975 )*refined inTurkey
THECOUNCIL OFTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard tothe Treaty establishing theEuropean Economic
Community ,andinparticular Article 113thereof ;
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ;
Whereas ,under theterms ofArticle 7oftheSupplementary Protocol
signed inAnkara on30June 1973 containing theadjustments tobe
made totheAgreement establishing anAssociation between the
European Economic Community andTurkey and totheAdditional
Protocol ^"consequent ontheAccession ofnewMember States ,the
Community isrequired ,each year ,totally tosuspend thecustom® duties
applicable tocertain petroleum products falling within Chapter 27-
oftheCommon Customs Tariff ,refined inTurkey ,within thelimit '•
ofanannual Community tariff quota ofJ>kO000metric tons ;whereas ,
pursuant toArticle 9oftheabovementioned Supplementary Protocol
thenewMember States must apply zero duties totheproducts
concerned ;
Whereas equal andcontihuous access tothequota should beensured
forallimporters and'the rate ofduty forthetariff quota should be
applied consistently toallimports oftheproducts inquestion into
allMember States until thequotas are exhausted ;whereas inthe ...
light ofthese principles arrangements fortheutilization ofthis
quota based onanallocation among Member States would 6eem tobe
consistent with theCommunity nature ofthequota ;whereas inorder
that itmaycorrespond asclosely aspossible totheactual trend of
•/.

ANNEX A
themarket inthese products ,allocation ofthequota should bein
proportion to-therequirements oftheMember States ascalculated
byreference tostatistics ofimports from Turkey during a
representative reference period and totheeconomic outlook forthe
"quota period inquestion ;
Whereas ,during thepast three years forwhich complete statistics
areavailable ,imports ofthese products from Turkey into thevarious
Member States were asfollows :

Italy 110 162 134 -035
United Kingdom 38200 ko000
1_-Byextrapolation from the figure forimports inthefirst eleven
months . ■
Whereas this information indicates that imports ofthese products
arevery irregular andthat thecalculation ofthe *percentages which
they represent inrelation tothetotal imports into theCommunity
ofthesame products from Turkey would not therefore besignificant ;
whereas thecalculation oftheimports from Mdmber States inquestion
forthequota period considered proves difficult asaresult of "the
irregularity noted inimports during theforegoing years ;whereas
theforeseeable import figures putforward bytheMember States for
thequota period concerned leads tothequota considered being
allocated according tothepercentages indicated hereafter :

Whereas ,totake account offuture import trends fortheproducts
concerned ,thequota should bedivided into two tranches »the first
being allocated and thesecond held asareserve tocover
subsequently therequirements ofMember States which have exhausted
their initial shares ;whereas ,togive importers some degree of
certainty ,thefirst tranche ofthequota should befixed ata
relatively high level ,approximately &5%ofthefull amount *
Whereas Member States may exhaust their initial shares atdifferent
rates ;whereas toavoid disruption ofsupplies onthis account it
should boprovided that anyMember State which has almost used up
its initial share should draw anadditional share from thereserve ;
whereas each time its additional share isalmost exhausted aMember
Stcxte should draw afurther share ,and soonasmany times asthe
reserve allows ;whereas theinitial andadditional shares should
bevalid until theendofthequota period ;whereas this form of
administration requires close collaboration between theMember
States and theCommission ,and theCommission must beinaposition
tokeep account oftheextent towhich thequota hasbeen used up
and toinform theMember States accordingly ;

-k-
Whereas ifatagiven date inthequota period aconsiderable
quantity ofaMember State 'sinitial share remains unused itis
essential ,toprevent apart ofaquota from remaining unused in
oneMember State while itcould beused inothers ,that such State
should return aproportion thereof tothereserve ;
Whereas itdoes not seem possible for .themoment ,taking into
account thedifferences still existing inthenational provisions
governing themarket oftheproducts inquestion ,tolaydown a
single method ofadministration ;
Whereas ,since theKingdom ofBelgium ,theKingdom oftheNetherlands
and theGrand Duchy ofLuxembourg areunited within and jointly
represented bytheBenelux Economic Union ,any transaction in
respect oftheadministration ofthe shares allocated tothat Economic
Union may becarried out byany one ofitsmembers ;
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
Article 1
1.Subject toanymeasures taken under paragraphs 2and 4ofthe
