 ---pagebreak---                      EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
   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 1979 which does
   not exceed the limits permitted by Decision n° 1 / 75 on the appli­
   cation of the terms of paragraph 3 of Protocol n° 10 of the Asso­
   ciation Agreement between the Community and Greece . This Decision
   lays down that the Community may , without the approval of the
   Association Council EED/ Greece > open a tariff quota of an amount
   not exceeding 25% of the Community imports of these products from
   third countries not associated or linked with it by a preferential
   agreement during the latest year for which statistics are available
 Î  .                                                  '        ' '   .
   Those imports in 1977 have amounted to 62.506 metric tons , so the
 !
 | Community tariff quota must be fixed, for -1979 at an amount of
   15.627 metric tons .           '
   Since the Community tariff quota in question is relatively small
   and wi 11 undoubtedly be used up quickly in the Member States it
idoes not seem that an allocation of it in shares among the Member
i States would derogate from the Community nature thereof . Such a
I solution has previously been avaled in cases of this nature .
