 ---pagebreak---                     EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . The purpose of this memorandum is to submit to the Council a
    draft Regulation on the opening , allocation and administration
    of an autonomous duty free Community tariff quota for rosins -
    falling within subheading 38.08 A of the CCT , for 19fl0 which
    corresponds to 25 % of the Community imports of these products
    from third countries not associated or linked with it by a pre­
    ferential agreement during the latest year for which statistics are
    avai lable .
2 . Those imports in 1978 have amounted to 59,186.5 metric tons , so the
    Community tarifi quota must be fixed, for 1980 at an amount of
    14,796 metric tons .
3 . Since the Community tariff quota in question is relatively small
    and will undoubtedly be used up quickly in the Member States it'
    does not seem that an allocation of it in shares among the Member
    States would deragote from the Community nature thereof . Such a
    solution has previously been avaled in cases of this nature .
