EXPLAÎ'TATORY HEHOHAJÏDUK
1.Tho Agreement establishing anAssociation between the European Economic
Community and .theRepublic ofCyprus (Article 3and .Article 2ofAnnex i)t
together with the Protocol laying down certain provisions relating to
that Agreement consequent onthe accession ofnew .Member States tothe
European Economic Community (Article 2),provides fortheopening ofthe
following Community tariff quotas for products originating inCyprus :
Common Customs
Tariff headingDescription ofgoods Annual
quota
56.04 Kan-made fibres (discontinuous orwaste ) 100metrio tons
carded ,combed orotherwise prepared
for spin>_2ng
61.01 Men'sandboys' outer garments 500 metric tons
Ajoint declaration onArticle 2ofthe abovementioned Protocol also provides
for these quotas tobeallocated 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 at 2>0%ofthe Common
Customs Tariff duties fortheproducts concerned .However ,Articles 3"to
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.Inorder tofulfil "the Community 'sobligation toCyprus ,regulations
should "boadopted opening ,allocating andproviding ,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 Comraunity asoriginally constituted :
(a)Theregulations provide ,asistherule ,for .each 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 61.01 ,forthere were noimports of
these products during the years 1971-73 and forecasts for 1975 cannot
bedrawn upineither case .Inthese :circumstances and sothat the
■quotas assigned tothe Community asoriginally constituted can neverthe­
less beequitably allocated among Member States ,itappears desirable to
provide for asignificant share ofthe quota volume for each ofthe original
Member State .Obviously ,this formula will have tobeadapted subsequently
inthe light ofactual trade movements .
4*(a)Exactly the same problem arises inconnection with allocating thequota for
products falling within tariff heading 56.04among the new Member States .
Consequently ,the solution set out inparagraph 3isproposed inthis case
■also . 1

-3-
(b)Only the United Kingdom has imported products falling within tariff .
heading 61.0')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 ,inallbutquite exceptional
cases ,each Member State must beable toplay atfthe outset asignificant
part intheapplication ofaCommunity measure such asthetariff quotas .
s » »»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 .
5*'The apportionment ofthe quota volumes among thd Member States andthe amounts
of"thequota shares proposed bythe Commission have been examined bythe
