 ---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 1975 which
does not exceed the limits permitted by Protocol No 10 annexed
to the Agreement between the Community and Greece . This Protocol
lays down that the Community may , without the approval of the
Association Council EEC/Greece , open a tariff quota of an
amount not exceeding 15 % of the Community imports of these
products from not associated third countries during the latest
year for which statistics are available .
Since the imports of these products in 1973 have risen to
171.16^ metric tons , the Community tariff quota must be fixed
at an amount of 25-673 metric tons . Since the Community tariff
quota in question is relatively small and will undoubtedly be
used up quickly in the Member States it does not seem that an
allocation of it in shares among the Member States would
derogate from: the Community nature thereof . Such a solution
has previously been availed in cases of this nature .
