 2.            The United Kingdom 's request calls for the following comments ;

         placed by British importers for amounts larger than those provided for
         in this Decision ?

         matically next year |

         two quotas of which the total amounts remain unchanged®
  3e            in these circumstances the Commission could have decided itself ,
