 1 . The purpose of this memorandum is to submit to the Council a draft
     Regulation on the opening , allocation and administration of an auto - •
     nomous duty free Community tariff quota for rosins falling within sub­
     heading 38.08 A of the CCT for 1982 which corresponds to 25% of the
     Community 's imports of these products from third countries not associated
     with or linked to it by a oreferential agreement during the last year
     for which statistics are available .                . \      ■
                                          /
 2 . Those imports in 1.980 amounted to 85443.8    tonnes , so the Community -
     tariff quota must be fixed at an amount of 21361        tonnes for 1982 .
                   /
'3 . 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 t al location of it in shares among the Member States would
   • derogate from the Community nature thereof . Such a solution has pre-
  • viously been adopted in cases of this nature .                    ■'
