Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1636/95

 take place within the limits of the quantities specified for
each of these exporting non-member countries ;                      Greece :

Whereas the quantities, in respect of which licences may            — 1 125,000 tonnes originating in Botswana,
