 Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure equal
 and uninterrupted access for all Community importers
 to the abovementioned quota, and uninterrupted
 application of the rates laid down for this quota to all
 imports of the products concerned into the 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 most accurately the actual
 development of the market in the products in ques­
 tion, such allocation should be in proportion to the
 requirements of the Member States, assessed by
   reference to both the statistics relating to imports of
   the said products from ^u 9 o s *-aô^l?a representative
   reference period and the economic outlook for the
   quota period concerned ;
      Whereas, in respect of the last three years for which
      statistics are available, the corresponding imports by each
      of the Member States represent the following percentages
      of the imports into the Community from Yugoslavia                 of the
      products concerned:

 Whereas, in view of these factors, and of market forecasts
 for the products concerned and in particular of the
 estimates submitted by certain Member States, initial
 quota shares may be fixed approximately at the following
 percentages:
          Benelux                                            1 5 ,6

Whereas, to take into account import trends for the
products concerned in the various Member States, the
quota amount should be divided into two instalments,
the first being allocated among the Member States and
tne second held as a reserve intended to cover at a
later date the requirements of Member States who have
used up their initial share ; whereas, in order to
guarantee some degrèe of security to importers in each
Member State, the first instalment of the Community
quota should be fixed at a level which could, in the
present circumstances, be8 0 % of the quota volume ;
Whereas the initial shares of the Member States may
 be used up at different rates ; whereas, in order to take
 this into account and to r^cid a break in continuity,
 any Member State which has used up almost all of its
 initial share should draw an additional share from the
 reserve ; whereas this should be done by each Member
 State each time one of its additional shares is almost
 used up, and so on 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 form of administration requires close collaboration
 between the Member States and the Commission, and
  the Commission must be in a position to follow the
  extent to which the quota volume has been used up
  and inform the Member States thereof ;
  Whereas, if at a given date in the quota period a
  substantial quantity of its initial share remains unused
  in any Member State, it is essential that it should
  return a significant proportion thereof to the reserve,
  to prevent part of the Community quota remaining
  unused in one Member State when it could be used in
   others ;
    Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the
    Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of
    Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented
    by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions
    concerning the administration of the shares allocated
    to that economic union may be carried out by any one
    of its members,
