                           Explanatory memorandum
Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC ) No 3700/83 laying dcwn the
arrangements applicable to trade with the Republic of Cyprus beyond 31
December 1983 , modified by the Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3682/85 ,
provides for the period 1.4, to 15.5.1987 for the opening of a Corrmunity
tariff quota for the importation into the Conxnunity of 2, 500 tonnes of
carrots , originating in Cyprus , falling within subheading ex 07.01 G II
of the Common Customs Tariff .
The easterns duty applicable within the limits of this quota is equal to
40 % of the duty actually applied to third countries .
Pending the conclusion of an Adaptation Protocol because of the Accession
of Spain and Fbrtugal the tariff measure in question applies , however
only to the Corrmunity as constituted on 31 December 1985 .
Accordingly the tariff quota should be opened .
As for the method of administration to be applied by all Member States ,
the Commission proposes the "greyhound " ( first come first served ) system .
This is the subject-matter of the proposal annexed hereto .
ANNEX : 1 proposal for a Regulation ( EEC ) of the Council
 ---pagebreak---                                     NOTE
The tariff quota concerned might be modified in the context of the result
of the negotiations with the contracting country in view of the
conclusion of an Adaptation Protocol to the Agreement in question .
Pending this , the proposed Regulation permits the respect of the
engagements contracted by the Conrnunity .
The Conmission reserves the possibility of modifying the proposal during
the procedure .

December 1 983 ( ' ), as last amended by Regulation ( EEC)
No 3682/85 (2), jprovides, for the period 1 April to 1 5 May
198 7 for the opening of a Community tariff quota of
2 500 tonnes of carrots, falling within subheading ex          HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
07.01 G II of the Common Customs Tariff and origina­
ting in Cyprus, at a rate of customs duty equal to 40 % of
the customs duty in the Common Customs Tariff ;
whereas the Community tariff quota should therefore be
opened for this period ;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 1X0 and 367 of the
Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal , the Council
adopted Regulation (EEC) No 449/86 determining the
arrangements to be applied by the Kingdom of Spain and
the Portuguese Republic to trade with certain third coun­
tries (3) ; whereas this Regulation applies therefore to the
Community 7 " constituted on 31 December
1985 ;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular to ensure to all
Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to
the abovementioned quota and uninterrupted application
of the rates laid down for that quota to all imports of the
products concerned into all Member States, until the
quota has been used up ; whereas , however, since the
period of application of the quota is very short, it seems
possible to avoid allocating it among the Member States,
without prejudice to the drawing against the quota
volume of such quantities as they may need, in the condi­
tions and according to the procedure specified in
