EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Article 3oftheAgreement between theEuropean Economic
Community andMalta ,read with Articles 1and 2ofAnnex I

theimportation into theCommunity ofthe following products ,
originating inMalta ,atthe quota duties specified below :

Atitssession ofh/5June 1973 however ,theCouncil agreed that
Malta should betreated ,asfrom 1January 197^,noless favourably
than' countries eligible for theGeneralised System ofPreferences .
This undertaking implies that thetreatment hitherto granted to
Malta will beimproved comparably .Inthecurrant situation ,this
I, ■ 1
improvement may consist inaautonomous 50%increase ofthequota
amounts fixed intheEEC/Malta Agreement ,andtotal suspension
ofduties inthe CCT and the national Customs tariff ofeach ofthe
Member States .

2-
3.TheRegulations provide ,intheusual way ,for thesplitting
upofthetariff volumes into twoparts ,ofwhich the first
will beallocated among theMember States asquota shares and
the second will bekept asareserve . ,
I
i
4.,'^he allocation ofthefirst part ofthequotas for theproducts
falling within thetariff headings 55«0 ?and60.05 hasbeen
-undertaken according totherules generally applied hitherto .
Thetotal imports ofeach Member State for1970 ,1971 and1972
have been expressed asaproportion oftotal Community imports
over the same period .The resulting percentages have been
applied State byState tothevolume ofthe first part ,the
last digit ofthe number ofmetric tons being rounded off .
. Γ
5.However ,itdoes not seem appropriate toapply this rule tothe
tariff quota forman-made fibres (56.04 )andouter garments (60.05 )
since :
1(a)import figures forcertain Member States varied considerably
from year toyear ; •
(b)other Member States imported none atall ; ;■
(c)total Community imports arelower than theagreed tariff quota
volumes ; c ■ i
(d)itisdifficult toforecast future imports .
Inorder nevertheless toallocate the quota volume fairly among the
Member States according totheii *respective sized ,theCommission
works ontheassumption that save inexceptional cases each Member :
State must beable toclaim a :considerable initial benefit from a
Community measure ofthis nature .The extent tdwhich itmay benefi
must reflect past requirements andaim tobalance theMember States'
advantages and liabilities asfar aspossible .
by
According /theproposed allocation works asfollows .Theminumum
share inthe first part ofthequota will be :
(i)10%forStates which previously effected noimports ;
(ii)10%plus aquantity reflecting past imports inthecase of
States which previously effected lowimports .
\\ \; •
•••/•'

Theprovision ofa10%share inthefirst case obviously reduces
thepercentage available totheother Member States but ,inview
ofthe size ofthe total quota volume ascompared with quantities
actually imported hitherto ,these other Member States will still
beable toimport asmuch asthey wish .
Theproposed Regulations provide for asingle method of
administration tobeapplied byall Member States ,namely the
"asand when "method . <
