STATISTICS RELATING TO IMPORTS FROM TURKEY OVER A REPRESENTATIVE REFERENCE PERIOD AND TO THE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK FOR THE QUOTA PERIOD CONCERNED ;
WHEREAS , DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS FOR WHICH STATISTICS ARE AVAILABLE , THE CORRESPONDING IMPORTS OF EACH MEMBER STATE FROM TURKEY HAVE BEEN NEGLIGIBLE OR NON-EXISTENT ; WHEREAS THOSE DATA CANNOT THEREFORE BE CONSIDERED AS REPRESENTATIVE TO SERVE AS A BASIS FOR ALLOCATION OF THE QUOTA VOLUME AMONG THE MEMBER STATES ; WHEREAS IT IS DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE IMPORTS BY MEMBER STATES BECAUSE OF THE ABSENCE OF TRULY REPRESENTATIVE FIGURES FOR PREVIOUS YEARS ; WHEREAS , CONSEQUENTLY , THE ONLY SOLUTION SEEMS TO BE TO ALLOCATE PART OF THE QUOTA VOLUME TO THE COMMUNITY RESERVE AND TO ALLOCATE ONE SEVENTH OF THE BALANCE TO THE BENELUX COUNTRIES , DENMARK , GERMANY , FRANCE , IRELAND , ITALY AND THE UNITED KINGDOM ;
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 SHALL 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 INFORM THE MEMBER STATES THEREOF ;
WHEREAS IF , AT A GIVEN DATE IN THE QUOTA PERIOD , A CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF A SHARE REMAINS IN ANY MEMBER STATE , IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THAT STATE SHOULD RETURN A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION TO THE RESERVE IN ORDER TO AVOID PART OF THE COMMUNITY QUOTA REMAINING UNUSED IN ONE MEMBER STATE WHEN IT COULD BE USED IN OTHERS ;
WHEREAS , SINCE THE KINGDOM OF BELGIUM , THE KINGDOM 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 ,
