EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
TheAgreement between theEuropean Economic Community and .theArab
Republic ofEgypt (Article 2aridArticles 1,3and4ofAnnex l),
together with theProtocol laying down certain provisions relating
fcothat Agreement consequent ontheaccession ofnewMember States to
theEuropean Economic Community (Article 2),provides fortheopening
ofCommunity tariff quotas forthefollowing products :
Common Customs Description ofgoods Annual quota
Tariff heading No
exChapter 27 Certain petroleum products 360000metric tons
55>09 Other woven fabrics ofcotton 3250metrio tons
Theabovomcntioned Protocol '(Article 5)also provides forthese quotas to
beallocated asfollows among theMember States :
Certain petroleum Other woven
products fabrics of
cotton
(metric tons )
(a)totheCommunity asor-•InC^tly constituted 200000 2500
(b)toDenmark
(c)toIreland

Customs Tariff duties for "theproducts concerned .•However ,Articles 3 !
I
and ,4oftheabovemontioned Protocol also contain special provisions !
concerning theduties tobeapplied bythenewMember States .Similarly ,
certain provisions oftheAct-doncerning theConditions ofAccession and I
theAdjustments totheTreaties must becomplied With when fixing these
duties .
2.Tofulfil theCommunity 'sobligation totheARE ,regulations should be
adopted opening ,allocating andproviding fortheadministration ofthese
Community tariff quotas .

(a)Theregulations provide ,asistherule ,foreach ofthequotas to
bedivided into twoinstalments ,thefirst ofwhich isallocated
among theMember States 'ooncerned while thesecond constitutes the
reserve . - •-*r ■
(b)Theallocation ofthefirst instalment isusually based onthestatistics
fortheprevious three years andtheforecasts forthequota period
concerned# :Thus ,each Member State 'simports ofother woven fabrics of
cotton (55«09 )during theyears 1971-72 were compared with imports into
theCommunity asoriginally constituted over thesame period .The
resulting percentages have been applied tothis first instalment bythe
respective Member States .
.However ,itdoes notappear desirable toapply this principle to
petroleum products (Chapter 2j)fsince :
(i)oneMember State 'simports were insignificant ,
(ii).there were noimports atallintotheother five Member States ,
(iii)total imports into theCommunity asoriginally constituted were
small incomparison with thequota tobeallo'wfcerl

(iv)itisvery difficult todraw upforecasts offuture imports .
However ,inorder toachieve ,nevertheless ,-afair andweighted allocation
ofthis quota among theMember States concerned ,theCommission isworking
ontheassumption thp.t,inallbutquite exceptional cases ,each Member
State must "beable toplay attheoutset asignificant part intheapplication
ofaCommunity measure such asthetariff quotas .Such anallocation must
beaimed atevening outas ,faraspossible among theMember States the
advantages andresponsibilities resulting from this measure .Obviously ,
this formula will have tobeadapted subsequently inthelight ofanytrade
movements#
4*Theproposal foraregulation onother woven fabrics ofcotton provides
foralltheMember States toapply the "asandwhen "method ofadministra­
tion .Ontheother hand ,itisnotyetpossible toprovide forasingle
method ofadministration (whether "asandwhen"orprior allocation )for
thequota forcertain petroleum products .Thenational provisions
governing themarket ,inthese products vary from oneMember State to
another andth§Membejr .States consider that this makes itimpossible to
apply acommon method ,x>$ ,administration .Inthese circumstances ,each
Member State willbeablerbywayofexception ,toadminister itsshares
maccordance with itsownprovisions ,while guaranteeing importers of
these produots free access tothequota .
5*Theallocation ofthequantitative quotas between theMember States andthe
amounts ofthequota shares proposed bytheCommission have been examined
bytheGovernment Experts (consultative Meeting oftheTariff Economic
Problems Group held on16.4.1974 ).
