MEMBER STATES ON THE BASIS OF IMPORT TRENDS FOR THE RELEVANT PRODUCTS OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS ; WHEREAS , HOWEVER , ACCORDING TO THE ESTIMATES PUT FORWARD BY THE MEMBER STATES , INITIAL SHARES MAY BE FIXED AT THE QUANTITIES SET OUT IN ARTICLE 2 ;
WHEREAS , IN ORDER TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IMPORT TRENDS FOR THE PRODUCTS CONCERNED , THE QUOTA AMOUNT SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO TWO INSTALMENTS , THE FIRST INSTALMENT BEING ALLOCATED , AND THE SECOND FORMING A RESERVE INTENDED SUBSEQUENTLY TO COVER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES WHICH HAVE USED UP THEIR INITIAL SHARES ; WHEREAS , IN ORDER TO ENSURE A CERTAIN DEGREE OF SECURITY FOR IMPORTERS , THE FIRST INSTALMENT OF THE COMMUNITY TARIFF QUOTA SHOULD BE FIXED AT A LEVEL WHICH , UNDER PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES , MAY BE APPROXIMATELY 80 % OF THE QUOTA AMOUNT ;
WHEREAS THE INITIAL SHARES MAY BE USED UP AT DIFFERENT RATES ; WHEREAS , IN ORDER TO TAKE THIS FACT INTO ACCOUNT AND TO AVOID ANY BREAK IN CONTINUITY , ANY MEMBER STATE WHICH HAS ALMOST USED UP ITS TOTAL INITIAL SHARE SHOULD DRAW AN ADDITIONAL SHARE FROM THE RESERVE ; WHEREAS THIS MUST BE DONE BY EACH MEMBER STATE AS AND WHEN EACH OF ITS ADDITIONAL SHARES IS ALMOST ENTIRELY USED UP , AND REPEATED AS MANY TIMES AS THE RESERVE ALLOWS ; WHEREAS THE INITIAL ADDITIONAL 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 , WHICH MUST BE ABLE TO KEEP ACCOUNT OF THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE QUOTA AMOUNT HAS BEEN USED UP AND TO INFORM THE MEMBER STATES ACCORDINGLY ;
WHEREAS IF , AT A GIVEN DATE IN THE QUOTA PERIOD , A CONSIDERABLE BALANCE REMAINS IN ONE OR OTHER MEMBER STATE IT IS ESSENTIAL , TO PREVENT A PART OF THE COMMUNITY TARIFF QUOTA FROM REMAINING UNUSED IN ONE MEMBER STATE WHILE IT COULD BE USED IN OTHERS , THAT THAT MEMBER STATE SHOULD RETURN A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION THEREOF TO THE RESERVE ;
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 MEASURE CONCERNING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE SHARES ALLOCATED TO THAT ECONOMIC UNION MAY BE CARRIED OUT BY ANY ONE OF ITS MEMBERS ,
