   1.          The Cooperation Agreements concluded between the ^European Economic
               Community on the one hand and the Kingdom of Morocco and the. Republic
               of Tunisia on the other hand provide for the opening of annual
     .         Community tariff quotas for the importation into the Community of
               8.250 or 4 300 metric tons of apri cot ■ pulp, originating in these
               countries , falling within subheading ex 20.06 B II c ) 1 aa ) of the
               Common Customs Tariff .    -

               The customs duties applicable within the limits 'of this quota are equal
           . to 70% of the duties actually applied to non-member 'countries .

  •       ■' Accordingly the tariff quota in question has to be opened for 1979 .
   2.          The proposals for regulations opening these tariff quotas' provide -
               as is customary - for the division of each of the quota volumes into
               two instalments , the first being allocated among the Member States as
               quota shares , the second being held as a reserve .
               The allocation of the volume of the first instalment of the quota 'should
       ■       be based on the rules generally applied . These involve calculating each
               Member State 's total imports over the last three years as a proportion
               of total Community imports during the same period and applying , for each
               Member State , the percentages thus' obtained to the volume of the first
               instalment .      .             . s                              . 1

               However , in this process account was taken on the fact that certain
                                       *
               Member States effected no or only occasional imports during these years .
             • In view of the necessity of allocating the quota volume in an equitable
                              *
               manner these Member States were granted small percentages representing
            . commercially exploitable shares .         '                     '
  3.           It is proposed that the proposals for Council Regulations opening the
               Community tariff quotas described' above be approved . '              • '   •

    mon Customs'Tariff, originating in Morocco; where­
    as the customs duties applicable' to the quota are
    equal to 70 % of the customs duties actually applied -
    to non-member countries ; whereas the Community
    tariff Quota in question should therefore be opened
   for .1979 : .     .

   ducts concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up ;
   whereas , having regard to the above principles , the Community nature of the
   quota can -be respected by allocating the- Community tariff quota among the
   Member States ; whereas , in order to reflect as accurately as possible the

Whereas, in order to fake into account import trends for the products concerned
in the various Member States , the quota volume should be' divided into two instal­

a reserve to cover at a later date , the requirements of Member States which have
used up their initial quota shares. ; 'whereas , in order to give importers in each

Whereas the Member States' initial shares may be used up at different tirnes ;
whereas , in order to take this fact into account and avoid any break in conti­
nuity , any Member State which has almost used up its 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 used up ,
and repeated as many times as the reserve allows ; whereas the initial aftd
additional shares must be valid until the end of the quota period .; whereas
this method of administration requires c lose cooperati on betweea the Member States
and the Commission , and the latter must be in a position to monitor the' extent
to which the quota volume ha.5         been used up and to inform the Member States

Whereas if , at a given date in the quota period , a substantial quantity of
an initial share remains gnused in any Member State , it is essential that that'
Member State should return a significant proportion to the reserve ,, to
