COM(77 ) 211 final
 ---pagebreak---                       EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
I.    On the basis of a commitment entered into with Spain at the
      time of the signature of the EEC Spain Agreement , each year
      the Community opens annual Community tariff quotas at
      reduced rates of duty , in respect of certain wines falling
      within subheading ex 22.05 C III of the CCT , originating
      in Spain , as indicated below
      Jerez wines :
           40 000 hi , in containers holding two litres or less ,
           at rates of 5.4 UA/hl and 5.8 . UA / hl ,
           210 000 hi , in containers holding more than two litres ,
           at rates of 5.5 UA/hl and 6 0 UA /hl ;
      Malaga wines :
           15 000 hi , in containers holding two litres or less ,
           at rates of 8.5 UA/hl and 9.5 UA/hl ;
     wmes from Jumilla , Priorato Rioja and Valdepeñas :
           15 000 hi , in containers holding two litres or less ,
           at rates of 8.4 UA/hl , 9.8 UA/hl or 11.9 UA /hl .
     These tariff quotas relate only to imports into the Community
     as originally constituted and at present cover the year 1977 * .
2.   The special tariff treatment applied by the three new Member
     States to imports of the products in question from Spain will
     end on 30 June of this year . Import arrangements must be
     aligned throughout the Community from 1 July 1977 onwards ,
     since pursuant to the Act of Accession and in particular
     Article 59 thereof , from that date the new Member States are
 OJ No L 350 , 20.12.1976 , page 9 .
 ---pagebreak---                               2
   obliged to apply to imports of the products in question the
   customs duties set out in the Common Customs Tariff .
3. Since it is hardly to be assumed that the additional protocol
   on which negotiations between the Community and Spain began
   on 6 May 1977 will be applicable from 1 July 1977 , the
   Commission considers that in these circumstances the Commu­
   nity tariff quotas referred to above should be extended to
   cover the three new Member States . Similarly account should
   be taken of the estimated volume of imports of the wines
   in question into those three Member States in the second
   half of the current year and the quota volumes should be
   increased accordingly . This would result in the following
   increases :
    34 000 hi for wines from Jerez in containers holding two
     litres or less ,
   237 000 hi for wines from Jerez in containers holding more
   than two litres , and
     3 500 hi for wines from Jumilla , Priorato , Rioja and
    Valdepenas in containers holding two litres or less .
   In accordance with normal practice , a portion of each of these
   additional volumes would be allocated to each of the three Member
   States concerned and the remainder allocated to existing
   Community reserves .
4. This tariff measure should be applicable from 1 July 1977 .
    It is essential that it be adopted as rapidly as possible .
5.  This is the purpose of the proposal annexed hereto .
