2.Since itishardly tobeassumed that theadditional protocol onwhich
negotiations between theCommunity andSpain began on6May1977 will
beapplicable from 1July 1977 ,theCommission considers that int'.ese
circumstances theCommunity tariff quotas referred toabove should be
extended tocover thethree newMember States .Fordried grapes
similarly account should betaken oftheestimated volume ofimports
oftheproduct inquestion into those three Member States inthe
second half ofthe current year and thequota volume should be
increased accordingly ,that isto100metric tons .
Inaccordance with normal practice ,aportion ofthis additional
volume would beallocated toeach ofthe three Member States
concerned and the remainder allocated toexisting Community
reserve .
Forthetariff quota fordried figs ,theimports inthe last
years were nihil inthenewMember States andnegligible forthe six
original Member States .Itseems therefore not tobeappropriate
toincrease thevolume ofthis quota .
3.This tariff measure should beapplicable from 1July 1977 .Itis
essential that itbeadopted asrapidly aspossible .
