The Agreement establishing :anAssociation between the European Economic
Community andtheRepublic ofCyprus (Article 3andArticle 2ofAnnex i),
together with the Protocol laying down certain provisions relating to
that Agreement consequent ontheaccession ofnew .Member States tothe
European Economic Community (Article 2),provides fortheopening ofthe
following Community tariff quotas forproducts originating inCyprus :
Common Customs
Tariff headingDescription ofgoods Annual
quota
56.04
61.01Kan-made fibres (discontinuous orwaste ) 100metric tons
carded ,cornered orotherwise prepared
for spinning "
Men'sand boys' outer garments 500 metric tons
Ajoint declaration onArticle 2ofthe abovementioned Protocol also provides
for these quotas tobsallocated asfollows between the Member States :
56.04 61.01
(a)tothe Community asoriginally "JOmetric tons 100metric tons
constituted
(b)tothe new Member States 30metric tons 400metric tons
Theduties tobeapplied arefixed bytheAgreement at2,0%ofthe Common
Customs Tariff duties fortheproducts concerned .However ,Articles 3to
7ofthe abovementioned Protocol also contain special provisions concerning
theduties tobeapplied bythe new Member States .Similarly ,certain
provisions ofthe Act concerning the Conditions ofAccession andthe Adjust­
ments totheTreaties must becomplied with when fixing these duties .

-2-
2.Inorder tofulfil "the Community 'sobligation toCyprus ,regulations
should "beadopted opening ,allocating and providing ,forthe administration
ofthese Community tariff quotas .
This isthe purpose ofthe proposals annexed hereto .
%
3.The following remarks are necessary concerning the quotas assigned to
the Member States ofthe Community asoriginally constituted :
(a)Theregulations provide ,asistherule ,foneach ofthequotas to
bedivided into two instalments ,thefirst ofwhich isallocated among
the Member States "concerned while the second constitutes the reserve .
(b)Theallocation ofthefirst instalment isusually based onthestatistics
for the previous three years and theforecasts for the quota period con­
cerned .However ,this principle cannot beapplied toproducts falling
within tariff headings 56*04 and 61.01 ,forthere were noimports of
these products during the years 1970-72 and forecasts for 1974 cannot
bedrawn upineither case .Inthese circumstances and sothat the
quotas assigned tothe Community asoriginally constituted can neverthe­
less beallocated among Member States ,itappears desirable toprovide
forsharing onanequal basis .Obviously ,this formula will have tobe
adopted subsequently inthelight ofanytrade movements .
4.Exactly the same problem arises inconnection with allocating the quota for
products falling within tariff heading 56.04 -among the new Member States .
Consequently ,thesolution set out inparagraph 3isproposed inthis case
also .

-3-
Only the United .Kingdom has imported products falling within tariff
heading 61.01 from Cyprus .This being so,theusual formula ,which
consists inmaking anallocation onthebasis ofprevious statistics
andforecasts ,does not seem applicable .
«
However ,inorder toachieve ,nevertheless ,afair and weighted allocation
ofthe quota of400 metric tons among the Member States concerned ,the
Commission isworking onthe assumption that ,inallbut quite exceptional
cases ,each Member State must beable toplay atfthe outset asignificant
part inthe application ofaCommunity measure such asthetariff quotas .
Such anallocation must beaimed atevening out asfar aspossible among the
Member States the advantages andresponsibilities resulting from this measure .
Obviously ,this formula will have tobeadapted subsequently inthelight of
any trade movements .
