                                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.       Council Regulation (EEC ) No 4115 / 86 of 22 December 1936 on imports
         into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in
         Turkey (1 ) provides for the opening of a Community tariff quota of
         90 tonnes at zsro duty as from 1 January 1907 , for apricot pulp falling
         within subheading ex 20.06 3 II c ) 1 aa ) of the Common Customs Tariff
         and originating in Turkey .
2.       The aim of this proposal is to open the quota concerned for the
         period 1 July 1987 to 30 June 1988 ,
3.       The tariff arrangements concerned may be modified in the ligth of
         current negotiations with the contracting country for the
         conclusion of Adaptation Protocols to the Association Agreement .
         Pending the outcome , the proposed Regulation enables the
         engagements contracted by the Community to be respected .
         The Commission therefore reserves the right to modify the proposal
         in the course of the proceedings in order to adapt it , as
         necessary , to the Adaptation Protocol .
4.       As regards the allocation , it should be noted that imports of
         these products from Turkey have been negligible or non-existant in
         recent years . Furthermore , the Member States cannot make
         forecasts for the quota period under consideration .
         Consequently the Commission proposes to allocate the entire quota
         volume to a Community reserve to which all the participating
         Member States shall have access according to their immediate
         needs .

  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,           administration of shares allocated to that economic union
                                                               may be carried out by any one of its members,
 Whereas the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No
4115 / 86 0f 22 December 1986 on imports into the
 Community of certain agricultural products originating in
 Turkey (') provides for the opening by the Community of
 an annual Community tariff quota of 90 tonnes at zero
    duty      for apricot pulp falling within subheading ex
 20.06 B II c) 1 aa) of the Common Customs Tariff and
 originating in Turkey ; whereas such a quota has been
 opened for the period up to 30 June 1987 by Regulation
 (EEC) No 1910/86(2) ; whereas the tariff quota in question
 should therefore be opened for the abovementioned
 volume for the period 1 July 198 7 to 30 June 1988 ;
 Whereas, since a Protocol as provided for in Article 1 1 8
 ( 1 ) of the 1979 Act of Accession and in Articles 179 and
 366 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal does
 not exist, the Community adopted the measures envisaged
 respectively in Article 119 and in Articles 180 and 367 of
 those Acts, in Regulations (EEC) No 3555/80 (3) and
 (EEC) No 449/86 ("), determining the arrangements to be
 applied to imports into Greece and Spain and Portugal
 respectively, originating in particular in Turkey ; whereas
 the quota concerned will, therefore, apply to the
 Community of Nine ;
 Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure to all
 Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to
 the rate laid down for that quota to all imports of the
 products concerned into all Member States until the quota
 has been used up ; whereas, however, since the quota is to
 cover requirements which cannot be determined with
 sufficient accuracy, it should not be allocated among the
 Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against
 the quota volume of such quantities as they may need,
 under the conditions and according to a procedure to be
 determined ; whereas this method of management
 requires close cooperation between the Member States

   ponding to its requirements to the extent that the
   available balance of the reserve so permits.
     3 . The shares drawn pursuant to paragraph 2 shall be

    the Community quote.
    2.    Each Member State shall ensure that importers of
    the product concerned have access to the quote for such
    time as the residual balance of the quota volume so
    permits.
