       (1 January-30 April);
    - 293 000 tonnes of fresh oranges, falling within CN code ex 0805 10
       (1 July-30 June);
   - 14 200 tonnes of fresh mandarins, clémentines, etc, falling within
      CN code ex 0805 20 (1 July-30 June);
   - 6 400 tonnes of fresh lemons, falling within CN code ex 0805 30 10
      (1 January-31 December);
   - 7 800 tonnes of watermelons, falling within CN code 0807 10 10
      (1 Apri1-15 June);
   - 9 500 tonnes of melons, falling within CN code ex 0807 10 90
      (1 November-31 May);
   - 2 800 tonnes of peeled tomatoes, falling within CN code 2002 10 10
      (1 January-31 December);
   - 150 tonnes of apricot pulp, falling within CN code ex 2008 50 91
      (1 January-31 December) and
   - 82 700 tonnes of orange juice, falling within CN codes 2009 11 11;
      19 et 2009 19 11;19;91;99 (1 January-31 December), of which not more
      than 20 000 tonnes may be imported in packings of a capacity of two
      litres or less;
   - 8 500 tonnes of tomato juice, falling within CN codes 2009 50 10 and
     2009 50 90 (1 January-31 December)
   originating in Israel.                                   '

However,    by virtue of the provisions of a common declara-
  tion of the Contracting Parties forming an integral part of
  the said Agreement the accounting of the quantities of fresh oranges and fresh mandarins, Clementines, e t c
                                                        C;1C 1
                in question must begin on I J u l y         '
  year ; whereas to keep this arrangement it is fitting to
  open the quotaSin question for the period 1 January
   1991 to 30 JUT»        199-J with the consequence that the
  quota, by applying the pro rata clause, must be fixed r e s p e c t i v e l y a t 146 500 t o m e s and a t
   7 100 tonnes.
              Furthermore, tariff dismantling for melons will begin only on 1 January
              1991 and hence it is appropriate to open the tariff quota in question
              for the period 1 January to 31 May 1991, for an amount which, based
             on the pro rata clause, should be set at 6 785 tonnes;
    2.       Under these tariff quotas customs duties are to be phased out according
             to the same timetables and at the same rates as laid down in Articles
             75, 243 and 268 of the Act of Accession.
             Within the limits of these tariff quotas, Spain and Portugal are to
             apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant
             provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 4162/87 of the Council laying down
             arrangements for Spain's and Portugal's trade with Israel,
             These Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened for 1991.
    3.       With regard to the administration of quotas, it is proposed that the
             whole of the quota volumes be held as Community reserves to which all
             Marrber States will have access in accordance with the procedure provided
             for in Article 3 of the proposed Regulation.
             This is the purpose of the attached proposal.

declaration of the Contracting Parties forming an integral
part of the said Protocol the accounting of the quantities of frésh oranges and of fresh mandarins, clémentines, et(
                 in question must begin on 1 July      each

1991 to 31 June         1991 with the consequence that the

    Within the limits of these tariff quotas Spain and Portugal

           Spain's and Portugal's trade with Israel ( 1 ) ;
whereas the Community tariff quotas in question should
therefore be opened for 1991 ;
Whereas all Community importers should be ensured
equal and continuous access to the said quotas and the
duty rates laid down for the quotas should be applied
consistently to all imports of the products in question
into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted ;
whereas the necessary measures should be taken to
provide for effective Community management of the
quotas, so that the Member States may draw against the
quotas such quantities as they may need, corresponding to
actual imports ; whereas this method of administration
 requires c l o s e cooperation between the Member
 States and the Commission;
 Whereas since the Kingdom of belgiiro, the Kingdom of
 the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
 are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux
 Economic Union, any operation concerning the adminis-
 tration of these quotas may be carried out by any of its
 members,

   products in question have equal and continous access to
   the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota
   volume so permits.
