    Turkey provides for the opening of a Community tariff quota of 90
    tonnes at zero duty for apricot pulp originating in Turkey.
2.  Within the limits of this tariff quota, Spain and Portugal apply
    customs duties calculated In accordance with Council Regulation
    (EEC) N" 2573/87 of 11 August 1987 laying down the arrangements for
    trade between Spain and Portugal on the one hand and Algeria,
    Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia and Turkey on the other.
3.  The aim of this proposal Is to open the quota concerned for the
    period 1 July 1991 to 30 June 1992.
4.  Concerning the administration of this tariff quota, it Is proposed
    that the whole volume of the products subject to this tariff quota

    have access according to the procedure laid down In Article 3 of
    the proposed Regulation.
This Is the purpose of the attached proposal.
