1. In Regulation (EEC) No 1922/83 thè Community has established thè
   arrangements applicatile to thè trade with Cyprus for 1983. Artide 2
   of this Regulation provides for thè opening of an annual Community
   ta r if f quota for 1 .500 tonnes salad beetroots, fading under sub-
   heading 07.01 6 IV of thè CCT, originating in Cyprus, at a duty rate
   of 8, 5 %.
   Pending thè definition of arrangements applicable beyond 31 December
   1983 i t is necessary to extend provisionally for 1984 thè arrangements
   which thè Community applies currently to trade with Cyprus on thè
   basis of thè abovementioned Regulation.
   In consequence, it is advisable to open thè Community tariff quota
   described above for thè period from 1 January to 31 December 1984.
2. In thè absence of representati ve previous sta tistics relating to thè
   market of those products i t is proposed to place thè whole of thè
   quota amount in a Community reserve, to which all Member States will
   have access under thè procedure envisaged in article 1 (2) of thè
   Regulation.
   As thè method of administration to be applied ba all Member States, thè
   Commission proposes thè "greyhound System".
   ANNEX: 1 proposai for a Regulation (EEC) of thè Council.
 ---pagebreak---                                          NOTE
The tariff quota in question is s t i l i likely to be modified in thè tight
of thè result of thè negotiations. Until these results are available,
thè Regulation proposed will be thè instrument which will make it possible
to f u l f i l l thè commitment entered into by thè Community. The Commission
thus reserves thè right to amend its proposai while i t is s t i l i going
through channels in order to adapt i t , if necessary, to thè new arrange-
ments.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to che Treaty establishing che European
Economie Community, and in particufar Artide 113
thereof,
Having regard to thè proposai from thè Commission,
 whereas, in ReguLation (EEC) No 1922/83 (1) thè
 Carminity has established thè arrangements appLi-
  cable to trade with Cyprus for 1983; whereas
 Artide 2 of this ReguLation                   ____________
                          provides for thè' opening of a
   Community tariff quota of 1 500 tonnes o f salad
  beetroots, falling within subheading ex 07.01 G IV of
  thè Common Customs Tariff and originating in
  Cyprus, at a rate of customs duty equal to 50 % of thè
  customs duty in thè Common Customs Tariff ;
 whereas, pending thè definition of arrangements
 appLicable beyond 31 December 1983 it is De­
  cessary to extend provisionaLLy for 1984 thè
 arrangements which thè Camnity appLies current-
  Ly to trade with Cyprus on thè basis of thè
 abovementioned ReguLation. w h& r*.*.*,
             therefore, thè Community tariff quota in
  auestion should be ooened: fo r th è neHnrì frcm
    1 January to 31 Decenter 1984.
  Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure to all
  Community importers equal and uninterrupted access
  to thè abovementioned quota and uninterrupted appli­
  cation of thè rates laid down for that quota to all
  imports of thè products concemed into all Member
  States until thè quota has been used up ; whereas, in
  thè prescnt case, it seems advisable not ito allocate this
  quota im onj thè Member States without prejudice to
  thè drawing against thè quota volume of such quanti-
  tics as they may need, under thè conditions and accor-
  ding to thè procedure specified in Artide 1 (2);
  whereas this method of management requires dose
  cooperation between thè Member States and thè
  Commission and thè latter must, in particular, be able
  to monitor thè rate at which thè quota is used up and
  inform thè Member States thereof ;
  Whereas, since thè Kingdom of Belgium, thè
   Kingdom of thè Netherlands and thè Grand Duchy of
   Luxembourg are United within and jointly represented
  by thè Benelux Economie Union, all transactions
  conccrning thè administration of shares allocated to
   that economie union may be carried out by any one of
   its members,
