 1 . The draft Regulation annoxod hereto concerns the crpci o:nnos
       Community tariff quota to be oponed for 1977 in respect of
       dried grapes in immediate containerG of a net capacity of
       15 kg or lens falling within subheading No 08.0*t B I of the
     ι
       Common Customs Tariff .
       Provision was first made for such quota in the trado agreement
       concluded between the Community and Iran .       Since , however ,
       that agreement expired on J>0 November 1973 and was not ronev/ed ,,
       the Community conGidcrod it deGirable Gince 1974 to open an autonomous
       tariff quota on the terms and conditions fixed for that agreement •
       At the consultation meeting held in April 1977 , the delegations of
       the Member States pronounced theingelves in fa,vour of tho opening for
       tho year 197 8 of an autonomous tariff quota at a duty of 1.2 $ of which
       the rjnount should , to avoid the preliminary agreomont of tho Council
       of Association provided for by tho Association Council dooioion IT0 l /75
       on tho allocation of tho provisions of paragraph 3 of Protocol N° 10
       of the EEC-Groeoe Association Agreomont , bo limitod to 15 i» of actual
       Community imports in 1973 , coming from third countries not associated
       with the Community nor linked with it by a preferential agreement .
                                        ι      ·
2 . Since the Community tariff quota in question is relatively email
    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 *
    The shares to bo allocated on this basiG to the Member States ,
    and thoir respective total 1973 imports from non-associated
    third countries,' arc shown in the following table : •
