 Article 2 of the Protocol concerning the arrrangements to be applied during
 1981 , in the framework of the decision adopted by the Association Council
on 2k Novbember 1980 establishing the process into the second stage of the
Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and the
Republic of Cyprus provides for 1981 for the opening of a Community tariff
                                                    »
quota for the importation into the Community of 250 tonnes of aubergines
originating in Cyprus, falling within subheading ex 07.01 T of the Common
Customs Tariff.
The customs duties applicable within the limits of this quota are equal to
40 % of the duties actually applied to third countries.
Accordingly the tariff quota in question has to be opened.
As the method of administration to be applied by all Member States, the
Commission proposes the "greyhund" system.
                                                                    i

             Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
             Whereas Article 2 of the Protocol concerning the arrrangements to be
             applied during 1981 , . within the framework of the decision adopted by the
             Association Council on 24 November 1980 establishing the process into the

           *                                      ~       provides for the
             opening, in respect of the period 1 October to 30
          j November 1984, of a Community tariff quota of 250
             tonnes of aubergines, falling within subheading ex
             07.01 T of the Common Custom Tariff and origi-
         ' nsiting in Cyprus, at a rate of customs duty equal to
        ; 40 % of the customs duty in the Common Customs :
             Tariff ; whereas the Community tariff quota should be
       f opened for this period ;                                          !
      i . Whereas it is necessary in particular to ensure to all
      J Community importers equal and uninterrupted access
              to the abovementioned quota and uninterrupted appli­
              cation of the rates laid down for that quota to all
              imports of the products concerned into ail Member
     '• States until the quota has been used up ; whereas,
              however, since the tariff quota involved is of a rela­
              tively low volume and the period of application is very
             short, it seems possible to allocate the whole quota
             volume to the Community reserve and to provide for
              the possibility of those Member States in which needs
              might arise drawing appropriate quantities from that
              reserve ; whereas the shares thus drawn from the
              reserve must be valid until the end of the quota
              period ; whereas this method of management requires
       1 close cooperation between the Member States and the
              Commission and the latter must in particular be aote
       ■ to monitor the rate at which the quota is used up and
               inform the Member States thereof :
