Community tariff quota tobeoponed for1977 inrespect of
dried grapes inimmediate containerG ofanet capacity of
15kgorlens falling within subheading No08.0*t BIofthe
Common Customs Tariff .
ι
Provision was first made for such quota inthe trado agreement
concluded between the Community and Iran .Since ,however ,
that agreement expired onJ>0November1973 and wasnot ronev /ed,,
theCommunity conGidcrod itdeGirable Gince1974 toopen anautonomous
tariff quota ontheterms andconditions fixed forthat agreement •
Attheconsultation meeting held inApril1977,thedelegations of
theMember States pronounced theingelves infa,vour ofthoopening for
thoyear1978ofanautonomous tariff quota ataduty of1.2$ofwhich
the rjnount should ,toavoid thepreliminary agreomont ofthoCouncil
ofAssociation provided forbythoAssociation Council dooioion IT0l/75
onthoallocation ofthoprovisions ofparagraph3ofProtocol N°10
oftheEEC-Groeoe Association Agreomont ,bolimitod to15i»ofactual
Community imports in1973,coming from third countries notassociated
with theCommunity norlinked with itbyapreferential agreement .
ι ·
2.Since theCommunity tariff quota inquestion isrelatively email
compared with total imports into theCommunity andsince all
theMember States will undoubtedly exhaust their shares rapidly ,
adivision ofthequota into shares allocated definitively to
each Member State would notappear tocompromise theCommunity
nature ofthequota .This solution hasbeen adopted insimilar
situations inthepast *
