EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.Thepurpose ofthis memorandum istosubmit totheCouncil a
draft Regulation ontheopening ,allocation andadministration
ofanautonomous duty free Community tariff quota for rosins -
falling within subheading 38.08 AoftheCCT ,for 19fl0 which
corresponds to25%oftheCommunity imports ofthese products
from third countries notassociated orlinked with itbyapre­
ferential agreement during the latest year forwhich statistics are
avai lable .
2.Those imports in1978 have amounted to59,186.5 metric tons ,sothe
Community tarifi quota must befixed ,for 1980 atanamount of
14,796 metric tons .
3.Since theCommunity tariff quota inquestion isrelatively small
andwill undoubtedly beused upquickly intheMember States it'
does notseem that anallocation ofitinshares among theMember
States would deragote from theCommunity nature thereof .Such a
solution haspreviously been avaled incases ofthis nature .
