   EEC / Cyprus of 1973, completed by the Protocol of Adaptation to take account
  of the accession of Greece to the Community, provide, for the opening of

          These wines remain subject to the provisions governing the common
          organisation of the market in wines products , especially as
          regards observance of the reference price .
 The provisions -of the Supplementary Protocol of the Agreement establishing
 an Association between the European Economic Community and the Republic of
 Cyprus will lapse on 31 December 1980 - Pending the entry into force of a
 new Protocol it is necessary to' extend the arrangements that the Community
 applies to trade with , the Republic of Cyprus within the context of the As­
 sociation with that country ;
     Consequently , the Community tariff quotas shown above should be
     opened for the period from 1       January to 31 December 1981 .
2 . These Regulations provide for the splitting up of the tariff
     volumes into two . parts , of which the first will be allocated
     among the Member States as quota share and the .second will
     be kept as a reserve .                            ,         ..
 ---pagebreak--- In the absence of Community statistics , for a period sufficiently
representative , the initial quota shares have been calculated on
the basis of the possible demand on the markets of the varioas
Member States and on the basis of forecasts made by some of them .
Because of the inherent particularities in the trade in wines which ,
additionally , are different from one . Member State to another , the
provisions of the Regulation for wines , exceptionnally , do not lay
down a common method of administration to be applied by all Member
States .
This is the subject of the two annexed proposals .

 Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure for all
 Community importers equal and uninterrupted access
 to the abovcmcntioned 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, 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
true trend of the market iii the products in question,
such allocation should be in proportion to the
requirements of the Member States, calculated by
reference to the statistics for imports of the products in
question from Cyprus over a representative reference
period and also to the economic outlook for the quota
period concerned;
Whereas, however, neither Community nor national
statistics showing the breakdown for each of the types
of wine in question are available and no reliable
estimates of future imports can be made; whereas, in
these circumstances* the quota should be allocated in
initial shares on the basis of the likely demand for these
wines on the markets of the various Member States;
Whereas, in order to take into account import trends
for the products concerned in the various Member
States, the quota volume should be divided into two
instalments, the first being shared among the Member
States and the second constituting 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 Member State a certain
degree of security, the first instalment of the
Community quota should, under the present
circumstances, be fixed at 80 % of the quota volume;
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 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 and additional shares must be valid
until the end of the quota period ; whereas this method
of administration requires close cooperation between
Member States and the Commission, and the latter must
be in a position to monitor the extent to which the
quota volume has been used up and to inform the
Member States thereof;
Whereas, if at a given date in the quota period a
Substantial quantity of an initial share remains unused
in any Member State, it is essential that that Member

                 Community applies to trade with the Republic of Cyprus
                 within the context of the association with that country ;
                 Whereas the abovementioned Supplementary Protocol / as

                 of the accession of the Hellenic Republic to the Commu­
                 nity (2 ), provides for the opening of an annual
                    Community tariff quota of 250 000 hectolitres of
                    liqueur wines, falling within subheading ex 22.05 C of

                    Customs Tariff;
                    Whereas entry under the above Community tariff quota
                    must be conditional on the wines being described as
                    'liqueur wines' in the V.I.I document provided for in

 ---pagebreak---   Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure for all
  Community importers equal and uninterrupted access
  to the abovcmentioned 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, 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
true trend of the market in the products in " question,
such allocation should be in proportion to the
requirements of the Member States, calculated by
reference to the statistics for imports of the products in
question from Cyprus over a representative reference
period and also to the economic outlook for the quota
period concerned ;
Whereas, however, neither Community nor national
statistics showing the breakdown for the products in
question are available , and no reliable estimates of
future imports can be made; whereas, in these
circumstances, the quota should be allocated in initial
shares on the basis of the likely demand for these
products on the markets of the various Member States;
Whereas, in order to take into account import trends
for the products concerned in ' the various Member
States, the quota volume should be divided into two
instalments, the first being shared among the Member
States and the second constituting 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 Member State a certain
degree- of security, the first instalment of the
Community quota should, under present circumstances,
be fixed at 85 % of the quota volume; •
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 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 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 volume has been used up and to inform the
Member States thereof;
