SHOULD BE IN PROPORTION TO THE NEEDS OF THE MEMBER STATES , ASSESSED BY REFERENCE BOTH TO THE STATISTICS RELATING TO IMPORTS FROM GREECE OVER A REPRESENTATIVE PERIOD , AND TO THE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK FOR THE QUOTA PERIOD CONCERNED ;
WHEREAS , ON THE BASIS OF THE STATISTICS AT PRESENT AVAILABLE , IMPORTS FROM GREECE INTO THE COMMUNITY OF NINE IN 1980 , 1981 AND 1982 OF THE PRODUCTS CONCERNED HAVE DEVELOPED AS FOLLOWS AND REPRESENT THE FOLLOWING PERCENTAGES OF TOTAL IMPORTS INTO THE COMMUNITY :
MEMBER STATES * 1980 * 1981 * 1982

ITALY * 0,16 * 0,11 * 0,16
UNITED KINGDOM * 3,17 * 3,41 * 4,78
WHEREAS , TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THESE FIGURES AND THE FORESEEABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MARKET IN THE PRODUCTS CONCERNED DURING 1984 , THE INITIAL SHARES IN THE VOLUME OF THE QUOTA MAY BE FIXED APPROXIMATELY AT THE FOLLOWING PERCENTAGES :

WHEREAS , IN ORDER TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE IMPORT TRENDS FOR THE PRODUCT CONCERNED IN THE MEMBER STATES , THE QUOTA VOLUME SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO TWO INSTALMENTS , THE FIRST INSTALMENT BEING ALLOCATED AMONG THE MEMBER STATES AND THE SECOND FORMING A RESERVE INTENDED ULTIMATELY TO COVER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES , SHOULD THEIR INITIAL SHARE BE USED UP ; WHEREAS , IN ORDER TO ENSURE A CERTAIN DEGREE OF SECURITY TO IMPORTERS , THE FIRST INSTALMENT OF THE COMMUNITY QUOTA SHOULD BE DETERMINED AT A RELATIVELY HIGH LEVEL , WHICH UNDER PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES COULD BE 90 % OF THE QUOTA VOLUME ;
WHEREAS THE INITIAL SHARES MAY BE USED UP FAIRLY QUICKLY ; WHEREAS , THEREFORE , TO AVOID DISRUPTION OF SUPPLIES , ANY MEMBER STATE WHICH HAS ALMOST USED UP ITS INITIAL SHARE , SHOULD DRAW A SUPPLEMENTARY SHARE FROM THE COMMUNITY RESERVE ; WHEREAS THIS MUST BE DONE BY EACH MEMBER STATE AS EACH ONE OF ITS SUPPLEMENTARY SHARES IS ALMOST USED UP , AND AS MANY TIMES AS THE RESERVE ALLOWS ; WHEREAS THE INITIAL AND SUPPLEMENTARY SHARES MUST BE VALID UNTIL THE END OF THE QUOTA PERIOD ; WHEREAS THIS FORM OF ADMINISTRATION REQUIRES CLOSE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE MEMBER STATES AND THE COMMISSION , AND THE COMMISSION MUST BE IN A POSITION TO FOLLOW THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE TARIFF QUOTA HAS BEEN USED UP AND TO INFORM THE MEMBER STATES THEREOF ;
WHEREAS IF , AT A SPECIFIED DATE IN THE QUOTA PERIOD , A CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF THE INITIAL QUOTA SHARE REMAINS IN ANY MEMBER STATE , IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE MEMBER STATE SHOULD RETURN A CERTAIN PROPORTION THEREOF TO THE RESERVE , IN ORDER TO AVOID PART OF THE COMMUNITY QUOTA REMAINING UNUSED IN ONE MEMBER STATE WHEN IT COULD
