Article 3  Where an importer preserves an entry for release for free circulation in a Member State in respect of a product covered by this Regulation, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and the entry is accepted by the customs  authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to requirements from the quota.  Requests for drawings, indicating the data on which the entries were accepted, must be sent to the Commission without delay.  Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in chronological order of the dates on which the customs authorities of the Member States concerned accepted the entries for release for free circulation to the extent that the available balance so permits.  If a Member State does not use a drawing in full it shall return any unused portion to the corresponding quota as soon as possible.  If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota, the balance shall be allocated among applicants pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made.  Article 4  Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have free access to the quotas for such time as the residual balance of the quotas so permits.  Article 5  The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.  Article 6  This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publiation in the Official Journal of the European Communities.  It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1995 for quotas under the order Nos 09.1610 and 09.1612 and from 1 December 1994 for quota No 09.1615.  This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.  Done at Brussels, 21 December 1994.
