arrangements applicable to trade with the Republic of Cyprus beyond 31
December 1983 , modified by trie Council Regulation (EEC ) No 3682/85 ,

tariff quota for the importation into the Corrrnunity of 2, 500 tonnes of
carrots , originating in Cyprus , falling within subheading ex 07.01 G II
of the Coiitnon Customs Tariff .

only to the Conmunity as constituted on 31 December 1985 .
Accordingly the tariff quota should be opened .
As for the method of administration to be applied by all Meirber States ,
the Cormrission proposes the "greyhound " ( first come first served ) system .
This is the subject-matter of the proposal annexed hereto .
