 ---pagebreak---                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . The draft Regulation annexed hereto concerns the erga omnes
    Community tariff quota to be opened for 1975 in respect of
    dried grapes in immediate containers of a net capacity of
    15 kg or less falling within subheading No 08.0*f B I of the
    Common Customs Tariff .
    Provision was first made for such quota in the trade agreement
    concluded between the Community and Iran .    Since , however ,
    that agreement expired on 30 November 1973 and was not renewed ,
    the Community considered it desirable to open an autonomous
    tariff quota of 197^j for which purpose the terms and
    conditions for that agreement were retained ( Regulation
    ( EEC ) No 3592/73 of 28 December 1973 - 0J Ho I, 365 of
    31 December 1973 ) •
    At the consultation meeting held on 31 May 197^1 the delegations
    of the Member States pronounced themselves in favour of the
    opening on 1 January 1975 of an autonomous tariff quota for
    10 960 metric tons of dried grapes at a duty of 1.2& , the
    quota to be allocated among the Member States in proportion
    to their respective 1973 imports from non-associated third
    countries .
2 . Since the Community tariff quota in question is relatively small
    compared with total imports into the Community and since all
    the Member States will undoubtedly exhaust their shares rapidly ,
    a division of the quota into shares allocated definitively to
    each Member State would not appear to compromise the Community
    nature of the quota . This solution has been adopted in similar
    situations in the past .
3 » The shares to be allocated on this basis to the Member States ,
    and their respective total 1973 imports from non-associated
    third countries , are shown in the following table :

                     of
      on the opening , allocation and administration of a
      1975 Community tariff quota for dried grapes falling
      within subheading No 08.0^ B I of the Common Customs
      Tariff in immediate containers of a net capacity of

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community , and in particular Article 43 thereof ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ;
Whereas a 1975 Community tariff quota for 10 960 metric tons
of dried grapes in immediate containers of a net capacity of
15 kg or less , falling within subheading No 08.0k B I of the
Common Customs Tariff', should be opened at a duty of 1.2$ ;
whereas the duties to be applied' by the new Member States
within the said tariff quota should be calculated in accordance
with the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession ;
Whereas , since the quota is relatively small compared with
Community requirements , provision may be made , without
compromising the Community nature of the quota , for a single
allocation of shares among the Member States ; whereas,'
in view of the requirements forecast by each Member State ,
the shares may be allocated as follows :.

    Whereas , since the Kingdom of Belgium , the Kingdom of the
    Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within

    transaction in respect of the administration of the shares
    allocated to that Economic Union may be carried out by
    any one of its members ;
