1.      The agricultural agreement in the form of on exchange of letters
        between the European Economic Conmunity and Switzerland approved by
        the Council Decision of 15 September 1986 ( 1 ), provides for the
        annual opening of a 1 000 tonne Conmunity tariff quota at zero duty
        for table cherries , excluding Morel lo cherries , originating in
        Switzerland and falling within subheading ex 0807 C of the Common
        Customs Tariff or code 0809 20 10 or 0809 20 90 of the Combined
        Nomenclature , which entered into force on 1 January 1988 .
2.      The purpose of this proposal is the implementation of the tariff
        quota for the period 1 January to 31 December 1989 .
3.      In the absence of sufficiently precise and detailed statistics on
        imports of these products from Switzerland , on which the tariff
        quota allocation among the Member States would usually be based , the
        Conmission proposes that the whole quota volume should constitute a
        Conmunity reserve to which all Member States will have access
        according to their immediate needs .
