Whereas, with a view to the Community's obligations with regard to its commitments under the GATT, that quantity will be taken into account in respect of the 1996/97 marketing year, both when the new GATT quota is opened and when the quantities to be imported under the arrangements laid down in Article 37 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 are determined;
