VOLUME MAY , FOR EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSES , BE ALLOCATED ON THE BASIS OF THE ESTIMATED TEMPORARY IMPORT NEEDS FROM THIRD COUNTRIES OF EACH OF THE MEMBER STATES ; WHEREAS THESE ARRANGEMENTS FOR ALLOCATION WILL ALSO ENSURE THE UNIFORM APPLICATION OF THE COMMON CUSTOMS TARIFF ;
WHEREAS , TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF POSSIBLE IMPORT TRENDS FOR THE PRODUCT CONCERNED , THE QUOTA VOLUME SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO TWO TRANCHES , THE FIRST BEING ALLOCATED BETWEEN CERTAIN MEMBER STATES AND THE SECOND HELD AS A RESERVE TO MEET SUBSEQUENT REQUIREMENTS OF MEMBER STATES WHICH HAVE USED UP THEIR INITIAL SHARES AND ANY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS WHICH MIGHT ARISE IN THE OTHER MEMBER STATES ; WHEREAS , TO GIVE IMPORTERS OF THE MEMBER STATES SOME DEGREE OF CERTAINTY , THE FIRST TRANCHE OF THE COMMUNITY TARIFF QUOTA SHOULD BE FIXED AT A RELATIVELY HIGH LEVEL , WHICH IN THIS CASE COULD BE 1 300 TONNES ;

WHEREAS , IF AT A GIVEN DATE IN THE QUOTA PERIOD A CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF A MEMBER STATE ' S INITIAL SHARE REMAINS UNUSED , IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THAT MEMBER STATE SHOULD RETURN A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION TO THE RESERVE , IN ORDER TO PREVENT A PART OF THE COMMUNITY QUOTA REMAINING UNUSED IN ONE MEMBER STATE WHILE IT COULD BE USED IN OTHERS ;
