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 SHARES 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 VOLUMES HAVE BEEN USED UP AND TO INFORM THE MEMBER STATES THEREOF ;
WHEREAS IF , AT A GIVEN DATE IN THE QUOTA PERIOD , A SUBSTANTIAL QUANTITY REMAINS UNUSED , IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THAT MEMBER STATE SHOULD RETURN A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION TO THE CORRESPONDING RESERVE TO PREVENT A PART OF ANY TARIFF QUOTA FROM REMAINING UNUSED IN ONE MEMBER STATE WHEN IT COULD BE USED IN OTHERS ;
