WHEREAS , IN ORDER TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IMPORT TRENDS FOR THE PRODUCTS CONCERNED IN THE VARIOUS MEMBER STATES , THE QUOTA AMOUNT SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO TWO INSTALMENTS , THE FIRST BEING SHARED AMONG THE MEMBER STATES AND THE SECOND CONSTITUTING A RESERVE TO COVER AT A LATER DATE THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES WHICH HAVE USED UP THEIR INITIAL QUOTA SHARE ; WHEREAS , IN ORDER TO GIVE IMPORTERS IN EACH MEMBER STATE A CERTAIN DEGREE OF SECURITY , THE FIRST INSTALMENT OF THE COMMUNITY QUOTA MIGHT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES BE FIXED AT APPROXIMATELY 80 % OF THE QUOTA VOLUME ;
WHEREAS THE MEMBER STATES' INITIAL SHARES 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 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 SHARES MUST BE VALID UNTIL THE END OF THE QUOTA PERIOD ; WHEREAS THIS METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION REQUIRES CLOSE COOPERATION BETWEEN THE MEMBER STATES AND THE COMMISSION , AND THE LATTER MUST BE IN A POSITION TO MONITOR THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE QUOTA VOLUME HAS BEEN USED UP AND TO INFORM THE MEMBER STATES THEREOF ;
