1.       Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 4089 /87 of 22 December 1987 opened for
         1988 a unilateral Community tariff quota of 3 000 tonnes at a duty
         of 10 % for cherries marinated in alcohol and intended for the
         manufacture of chocolate products (1 ) .
2.       The opening of a new quota for 1989 was discussed at a meeting of
         the Econcmic Tariff Problems Group on 4 May . A quota on the same
         terms would be accpetable to all the Member States .
3.       Since the Member States' requirements under this Community tariff
         quota cannot be forecast accurately, it is proposed that there
         would be no allocation by country. The Member States would draw
         on the quota for the quantities needed to cover their actual
         requirements .
         That is the purpose of this draft Regulation .
