     dried grapes in immediate containers of a net capacity of           '.

    Provision was ' first made for_ euch quota in tho trade agrecoont
     concluded bo two on the Community and Iran .      Since , however ,
     that acrcesBcnt expired on 30 November 1973 and wao not ronov/ed ,.
    the Community conoidcrod it desirable since 1974 to open an autonomous
    tariff quota on tho terms and conditions fixod for that agreement •
    At tho consultation meeting held in April 1978 , the delegations of
    the Member States pronounced themoolves in favour of tho opening for
    tho year 1979 of an autonomous tariff quota at a duty of 1.2 % of whioh
    the amount should , to avoid tho preliminary agreement of tho Council
    of Association provided for by tho Association Counoil dooioion N® l /75
    on tho allocation of tho provisions of paragraph 3 of Protoool N® 10
    of the EEC-Groeoe Association Agreement , be limit od to 15 i» of aotual
    Community imports in 1973 , ooming frora third oountrios not associated
                                                   f •                       '
    with the Community nor linked with it by a preferential agreement *
                                        «       •
 Since the Community tariff quota in question is relatively small
 compared with total imports into the Community and since all
 the Member States will undoubtedly exhaust thoir shares rapidly ,
 a division of tho quota into shares allocated definitively to
each Member State would not appear to compromise tho Community
nature of the quota *        This solution has been adoptod in similar
situations in the past *
                          t  *
The chares to bo allocated on this basis, to the Member States,
and thoir respective total 1973 imports from non-associated
third countries,' are shown in the 'following table : •
