THECOUNCIL OFTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,
and inparticular Articles 43and 113thereof ,
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Having regard totheOpinion oftheEuropean Parliament ,
Whereas theAgreement between theEuropean Economic Community andthePeople 's
Democratic Republic ofAlgeria signed on 1976 stipulates inArticle
20that certain wines ofdesignated origin ,falling within subheading ex22.05
ofther.oronon Customs Ta,riff originating inAlgeria shall beimported into the
Community free ofcustoms duties within thelimits ofanannual Community tariff
quota ;whereas thevolume forthefirst period ofthequota is250000hectolitres
ofwhich 190000hectolitres areforwines inbulk ,and60000hectolitres forwines
inbottles ;Whereas wines inbulk must beputupinaccordance with certain
conditions ;Whereas wines inbottles must beincontainers holding amaximum of
2litres ;Whereas theruling prices forthewines when imported ifiotheCommunity
must beatanygiven moment equal totheCommunity reference prices forthem ;
Whereas tgese wines shall beaccompanied byacertificate ofdesignation oforigin
inaccordance with theform annexed totheAgreement inquestion ;
Whereas pending entry into force ofthisAgreement ,the ,Interim Agreement ontrade f
ingoods between theEuropean Economic Community ana «Nigeria (1)provides in
Article 13fortheanticipatory application ofthis tariff measure probably with
effect from 1July 1976 ;whereas theCommunity tariff quotas inquestion should
therefore beopened forthefirst period from 1July 1976 until 30June 1977 ;
Whereas Regulation (EEC)No2506 /75 laying down special rules fortheimpor­
tation ofproducts inthewine-growing sector originating incertain third countries(2 )
hasintroduced the idea of&■free–at–frontier reference price representing the
reference price less customs duties actually levied ;

Whereas ,having regard totheprinciples mentioned above ,theCommunity nature ofthe
» !
quotas canbeobserved byallocating theCommunity tariff quota among theMember
States ;whereas ,inorder toreflect most accurately theactual development ofthe
market intheproducts concerned ,such allocation should beinproportion tothe
needs oftheMember States ,assessed byreference both tothestatistics ofeach
State 'simports from Algeria over arepresentative reference period and totheeconon
outlook forthequota period concerned ;
Whereas inthis case ,however ,neither Community nornational statistical data broken
down by thetypes ofwines inquestion areavailable andnoadequate estinates
forimports canbeputforward ;whereas inthese circumstances anallocation
ofthequota volumes into initial quota shares should beprovided for ,taking into
account thepossibilities ofconsumption ofthese wines inthemarkets ofeach Member
State ;
Whereas ,inorder totake into account imports trends fortheproducts concerned
inthedifferent Member States ,each ofthequota amounts should bedivided into
twotranches thefirst being allocated among theMember States and
thesecond held asareserve intended ultimately tosever atal£ter date the i
requirements ofMember States whohave used uptheir initial share ;whereas ,inordei
toguarantee importers ineach Member State ,sosie degree ofsecurity thefir^t
tranche oftheCommunity quotas should befixed atalevel which , the
present circumstances ,maybe50%ofeach ofthecuota ralraaeBj
Whereas theinitial shares oftheMember States caybeused upatdifferent tzmesj ;
whereas ,inview ofthis ,inorder toavoid deeeripting supplies ,an™Member State
which hasalmost used uponeofitsinitial shares should drav asupplementary share
from therelevent reserve ;whereas thismust be''one byeachMember ?tate aseach
oneofistsupplementary share isalmost used up,asmany times asthereserve
allows ;whereas theinitial andsupplementary shares must bevalid irat&l eiM^

Whereas ,ifatagiven date inthequota period aMember State hasaconsiderable quanr

significant proposition there oftotherelevant reserve ,toprevent apart ofoneor
other oftheCommunity quotas remaining unused inoneMember State when itcould be
used inothers ;
Whereas ,since theKingdom ofBelgium ,theKingdom oftheNetherlands andtheGrand
Duchy ofLuxembourg are jointly represented bytheBenelux Economic Union ,any

Union maybecarried outbyoneofitsmembers .
