broken down by country of origin and split
into
several subperiods in accordance with Annex IX of the
Regulation.

October is the only subperiod for the quota with serial
number 09.4138 laid down in Article 1(1)(a) of Regu-
lation (EC) No 327/98. This quota comprises the balance
of
the unused quantities from the quotas with serial
numbers 09.4127-09.4128-09.4129-09.4130 in the
previous subperiod. October is the last subperiod for
the quotas with serial numbers 09.4148 and 09.4168
laid down in Article 1(1)(b) and (e) of Regulation (EC)
No 327/98, which comprise the balance of the unused
quantities from the previous subperiod.

The notifications presented under Article 8(a) of Regu-
lation (EC) No 327/98 show that, for the quota(s) with
serial numbers 09.4138-09.4148, the applications lodged
in the first 10 working days of October 2007 under
Article 4(1) of the Regulation cover a quantity greater
than that available. The extent to which import licences
may be issued should therefore be determined by estab-
lishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the
quantities requested under the quotas in question.
