1. Subsequent to requests made by various Member States, the Services
   of the Commission have examined, in conjunction with the Government
   experts concerned, the question of opening in 1991 tariff quotas for
   various products.
2. Following this examination, which took place during the "Economic
   Tariff" group meetings last held in particular on 29 June 1990, it
   has been determined that the opening of tariff quotas for the following
   products could have the agreement of the Member States without
   disturbing the markets for such products :
   - Sour cherries :   2 000 t   at  10 %.
   - Boysenberries : 1 500 t   at 12 %
   - Vanadiumoxydes : 6 000 t at    0%
   - Copolymers of erhylene and methacrylic acid : 7 000 t at 4 %
   - Polyvinylpyrrolidone :    130 t  at 0 %
   - Polyvinyl butyral :   10 000 t   at 0 %
   - Ferro-chromium containing by weight more than 6 % of carbon : 300 000 t at 0
       (provisional amount to be reviewed in the course of the exercise
        when necessary)
   - Ferro-phosphorus : 55 000 t    at 0 %
   - Refined ferro-chromium : 17 000 t     at 0 %.
   This is the aim cf this proposal
