3.      In the absence of adequately precise and detailed statistics on
        imports of tlie product concerned fran Austria , on which the tariff
        quota allocation amongst the Member States would usually be based ,
        the Commission proposes that tlie whole quota volume should
        constitute a Community reserve to which all Maaber States will have
        access according to their immediate needs .
        Hie Commission is aware that the transposition of certain tariff
        concessions fran the Caron Custans tariff to the Combined
        Nomenclature might raise problems which would need to be settled

        to amend its proposal in the course of the procedure with a view to
        adjusting it , where appropriate , to requirements .
