1.       Council Regulation ( EEC ) 'No 4115 /86 of 22 December 1986 on imports
         into the Comnunity of certain agricultural products originating in
         Turkey ( 1 ) provides for the opening of a Coirrnunity tariff quota of
         90 tonnes at zero duty as from 1 January 1987 , for apricot pulp
         originating in Turkey .
2.       The aim of this proposai is to open the quota concerned for the
         [seriod 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1989 .
3.       The tariff arrangements concerned may be modified in the light of
         current negotiations with the contracting country for the
         conclusion of Adaptation Protocols to the Association Agreement .
         Pending the outccme , tlie proposed Régulation enables the
         engagements contracted by the Corcmunity to be respected .
         The Corrmission therefore reserves the right to modify the proposal
         in the course of the proceedings in order to adapt it , as
         necessary , to the Adaptation Protocol .
4.       As regards the allocation ,   it should be noted that imports of
         these products fran Turkey    have been negligible or non-existant in
         recent yaers . Furthermore ,  the Member States cannot make forecasts
          for the quota period under   consideration .
         Consequently the Commission proposes to allocate the entire quota
         volume to a Community reserve to which all the participating
         Member States shall have access according to their immediate
         needs .

     Whereas the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No
    4115 /86 of 22 December 198 6 on imports into the
     Community of certain agricultural products originating in
                                                                       H AS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
     Turkey (') provides for the opening by the Community of
     an annual Community tariff quota of 90 tonnes at zero
      duty       for apricot pulp
                                                                                                Article 1
     originating in Turkey ; whereas such a quota has been
     opened for the period up to 30 June 1 98 8 by Regulation
     (EEC) No 1639/87(2) ; whereas the tariff quota in question
     should therefore be opened for the abovementioned
     volume for the period 1 July 198 8 to 30 June 198 9,
whereas , in accordance with Article 119 of the Act of Accession of Greece , the
Council adopted Regulation ( EEC ) No 3555 / 80 determining the arrangements to be
applied with regard to imports into Greece originating in Algeria ,          Israel ,
Malta , Morocco, Portugal , Syria , Tunisia or Turkey ;^ whereas , the Council has
also adopted Regulation ( EEC ) No 2573 / 87 laying down the arrangements for
trade between Spain and Portugal , on the one hand , and Algeria , Egypt , Jordan ,
                                                    h
Lebanon ,     Tunisia and Turkey ,   on the other ,    whereas the tariff quota in
question applies therefore to the Community of Nine ;
 Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure to all
 Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to
 the rate laid down for that quota to all imports of the
 products concerned into all Member States until the quota
 has been used up ; whereas, however, since the quota is to
 cover requirements which cannot be determined with
 sufficient accuracy, it should not be allocated among the
 Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against
 the quota volume of such quantities as they may need,
 under the conditions and according to a procedure to be
 determined ; whereas this method of management
 requires close cooperation between the Member States
