     arrangements in respect of state-trading countries , the Council must
     adopt , as it does each year , normally by 30 November , on a proposal from
     the Commission , the' changes to be made for 1982 in the import quotas
      currently in force in respect of the third countries in question .
     The Council is also required to adopt , each year , a second ( confidential )
     decision involving certain additional provisions not covered by the first
     decision which concern the Federal Republic of Germany , France , and the
     Benelux countries .
2 . The Commission , assisted by national experts , has accordingly undertaken
     the task of coordinating the requests of the Member States concerning the
     quotas for 1982 .
3 . The main points contained in the Commission proposal , in Annex A , which
     broadly takes account of the outcome of this preparatory work , are as
     fol lows :
     ( a ) in general , the increases are between 0 % and 5 % for quotas expressed-
           in terms of quantity and between 5 % and 10 % for the other quotas ;
     ( b ) for textile quotas ( not under outward processing arrangements ), only
           certain quotas for Greece are increased ; all the others are kept at the
           1981 level ;
     ( c ) with regard to outward processing traffic in textile products ,
           only the import quotas into the Federal Republic of Germany have
           been increased .

     imports of textile products under outward processing arrangements into the
