THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
arid 'in particular Article 113 thereof ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission !
Whereas the Agreement between the European      Economic Community and the Arab
                   m
Republic of Egypt v ' and the Protocol laying down certain provisions concerning
that Agreement in consequence of the Accession of new Member States to the
                               (2 )
European    Economic Community x    provides for the opening of an. annual
Community tariff quota of 360 000 metric tons for certain petroleum products'
falling within Chapter 27 of the Common Customs Tariff , refined in the Arab
Republic of Egypt ; whereas under the Protocol the tariff quota should be
allocated among the Member States as follows i 200 000 metric tons for the
Community as originally constituted , 5 000 metric tons for Denmark, 5 000
metric tons for Ireland and 150 000 metric tons for the United Kingdom ;
whereas Article 1 of Annex I to the Agreement provides that the duties
applicable to the quota shall be equal to 55$ of the duties of the Common
Customs Tariff ; whereas as regards the duties to be applied to the quota
by the new Member States , the special provisions of the Protocol and of the
Act concerning the conditions of accession and the adjustments to the
Treaties^ should be observed; whereas a Community tariff quota of 360 000

                                                                           ■/.
 ---pagebreak---                                                               ΑΪΓΝΕΧ Δ
metric tons should therefore be opened, for those produots ; whereas to
comply with the special provisions of the Protocol , , separate arrangements
should he made for the Member States of the Community as originally
constituted on the one hand and for the new Member States on the other ;
Whereas , fes regards iri particular the.- Community as originally .. constituted :
 »   equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for
     all importers and quota duties should be applied consistently to all
     imports of the products in question until the quota is used up ; .
 »   in the light of the principles elicited above , the Community nature
     of the quota may best be preserved by an arrangement allocating it
     among the Member States ; whereas in prder to reflect most accurately
     the actual development of the market in the products in question ,
     such allocation should be proportionate to the requirements of the
     Member States , calculated both from the statistics of each Member
     State 's imports from the Arab Republic of Egypt over a representative
     reference period and from the economic outlook for the quota period in
     question ;
 *   however in view of the fact that over the last three years none of
     the products in question refined in the Arab Republic of Egypt have
     been imported , and that no forecast for 1973 can be made , an initial
     share percentage of 25$. allocated to each of the Member States
     concerned would ensure a fair distribution among them ;
 ---pagebreak---                                                        ANNEX A
in order to take account of import trends for the products m question
in the Member States concerned , the quota amount should be divided
into two tranches , the first tranche being allocated among the same
Member States , the second tranche constituting a reserve intended to
cover the later requirement s of Member States which have used up their
initial quota shares ;, whereas in order to ensure a certain degree of
security to importers in each Member State , the first tranche of the
quota should be fixed in this case at approximately ICffo ]
the initial quota shares may be used up at different rates ; whereas ,
therefore , to avoid disruption of supplies , any Member State which has
almost used up its initial quota share , must draw an additional quota
share from the reserve ; whereas this must be done by each Member
State as each one of its additional quota shares is almost used up ,
and as many times as the reserve allows ; whereas the initial and
additional quota shares .must be valid until the end of the quota period
whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration
between the Member States concerned 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 ;
if , at a given date in the quota period , a considerable quantity of
the initial quota share is left over in a Member State , it is essential
that that state should return a significant proportion to the reserve ,
to prevent a part of the allocated quota to the Community as originally
constituted from remaining unused in one Member State while it could
be used in others ;
since the Kingdom of Belgium , the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are jointly represented by the Benelux
Economic Union any measure concerning the administration of the quota
shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by one of
its members ;

Whereas , as regards in particular the new Member States :
 -    the quota duties are to be calculated by the new Member States in
      accordance with Articles 3 swd 4 of the Protocol cited above ;
 –    equal and continuous access to the quota should . be ensured for all
      importers and quota duties should be applied consistently to all

THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and in particular Article 113 thereof ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the
Arab Republic of Egypt ^ and the Protocol laying down certain provisions
concerning the Agreement, between the European Economic Community and the
Arab Republic of Egypt in consequence of the accession of new Member States
                                     2
to the European Economic Community v     provides for the opening of an annual
Community tariff quota of 3 250 metric tons of other woven fabrics of cotton
falling within heading No 55*09 of the Common Customs Tariff , originating
in the Arab Republic of Egypt whereas , if the date of entry into force
of the Agreement should not fall at the beginning of the calendar year , the
quota should be opened prorata temporis ; whereas under the Protocol- the
tariff quota should be allocated among the Member States 'as follows':
2 500 metric tons for the Community as originally constituted , 90 metric tons
for Denmark , 10 metric tons for Ireland and 650 metric tons for the United
Kingdom ; whereas Article 1 of Annex I to the Agreement provides that the
duties applicable to the quota shall be equal to 55$ of the duties of the
Common Customs Tariff ; whereas as regards the duties to be applied to the
quota by the new Member States , the special provisions of the
Protocol and of the Aet concerning the conditions of accession and the
adjustments to the Treaties^^ should be observed; whereas a Community
                                                                 • * •f* * *

tariff quota of 2 kbQ tietric tons should therefore be
opened, for those products ; whereas to comply with the special provision of
the Protocol , separate arrangements should he made for . the Member States of
the Community as originally constituted > on the one hand and for the now
Member States on the other ;                                    .
Whereas as regards in particular the Community as originally constituted :
 *      equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for
        all importers and quota duties should be applied consistently to
        all imports of the products in questibn until the quota is used up ;
 –      in the light of the principles elicited above , the Community nature
        of the quota may best be preserved by an arrangement allocating it
        among the Member States ; whereas in order to reflect most
        accurately the actual development of the market in the products
        in question , such allocation should be proportionate to the
        requirements of the Member States , calculated both from the
        statistics of each Member States * imports from the Arab Republic of
        Egypt over a representative reference period and from the economic
      . outlook for the quota period in question ;

in view of these facts and of the forecasts made by certain Member
States , the initial percentage shares of that quota should be 1
allocated approximately as follo\vsj
in order to talce account of import trends for the products in question
in the Member States concerned , the quota amount should be divided
into two tranches , the first tranche being allocated' among the same
Member States , the second tranche constituting a reserve intended
to cover the later requirements of Member States which have used up
their initial quota shares ; whereas in order to ensure a certain
degree of security to. importers in each Member State , the first "
tranche of the quota should be fixed in this case at approximately
70/o .
the initial quota shares may. be used up at different rates ; whereas ,
therefore , to avoid disruption of supplies , any Member State which
has almost 1 used up its initial quota share , must draw an additional
quota share from the reserve ; whereas this must be done by each
Member State as each one of its additional quota shares is almost

     used, up , and as many times as the reserve allows } whereas the initial
     and additional quota" shares" must he 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 ;
 «-  if, at a given date in the quota period , a considerable quantity of
     the initial quota share is left over in a Member State , it is essential
     that that state should return a significant proportion to the reserve , .
     to prevent a part of the quota allocated to the. Community as originally
     constituted from remaining unused in one Member State while it could
     be used in others ;
 -   since the Kingdom of Belgium , the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the
     Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are jointly represented by the Benelux
     Economic Union any measure concerning the administration of the quota
     shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by one of
