The extent to which a quantity is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of imports charged against it under the conditions laid down in the preceding subparagraphs.  Member States shall inform the Commission of imports effected, at the intervals and within the time limits indicated in paragraph 4.  3. Once the quantities in question are attained, the Commission shall inform the Member States of the date from which those preferential arrangements cease to apply.  4.
