TO COVER AT A LATER DATE THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES WHICH HAVE USED UP THEIR INITIAL QUOTA SHARES ; WHEREAS , IN ORDER TO GIVE IMPORTERS IN EACH MEMBER STATE A CERTAIN DEGREE OF SECURITY , THE FIRST INSTALMENT OF THE COMMUNITY QUOTAS SHOULD , UNDER THE PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES , BE FIXED AT AROUND 80 % OF EACH OF THE QUOTA AMOUNTS ;
WHEREAS THE INITIAL QUOTA SHARES OF THE MEMBER STATES MAY BE USED UP AT DIFFERENT TIMES ; WHEREAS , IN ORDER TO TAKE THIS FACT INTO ACCOUNT AND AVOID ANY BREAK IN CONTINUITY , ANY MEMBER STATE WHICH HAS ALMOST USED UP ITS INITIAL QUOTA SHARE SHOULD DRAW AN ADDITIONAL QUOTA SHARE FROM THE CORRESPONDING RESERVE ; WHEREAS THIS MUST BE DONE BY EACH MEMBER STATE AS AND WHEN EACH OF ITS ADDITIONAL SHARES IS ALMOST USED UP AND REPEATED AS MANY TIMES AS THE RESERVE ALLOWS ; WHEREAS THE INITIAL AND ADDITIONAL QUOTA SHARES MUST BE VALID UNTIL THE END OF THE QUOTA PERIOD ; WHEREAS THIS METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION REQUIRES CLOSE COOPERATION BETWEEN MEMBER STATES AND THE COMMISSION AND THE LATTER MUST , IN PARTICULAR , BE IN A POSITION TO MONITOR THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE QUOTA VOLUMES HAVE BEEN USED UP AND TO INFORM THE MEMBER STATES THEREOF ;
WHEREAS IF , AT A GIVEN DATE IN THE QUOTA PERIOD , A SUBSTANTIAL QUANTITY OF ONE OF THE INITIAL SHARES REMAINS UNUSED IN ONE OR OTHER MEMBER STATE IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THAT MEMBER STATE SHOULD RETURN A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION TO THE RESERVE , TO PREVENT A PART OF ANY COMMUNITY QUOTA FROM REMAINING UNUSED IN ONE MEMBER STATE WHEN IT COULD BE USED IN OTHERS ;
WHEREAS , SINCE THE KINGDOM OF BELGIUM , THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS AND THE GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG ARE UNITED WITHIN AND JOINTLY REPRESENTED BY THE BENELUX ECONOMIC UNION , ANY OPERATION RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE QUOTA SHARES ALLOCATED TO THAT ECONOMIC UNION MAY BE CARRIED OUT BY ANY ONE OF ITS MEMBERS ,
