Whereas the application of the generally accepted Whereas , since the tariff quotas concerned are valid principles in respect of the allocation of the Community until 31 December 1973 , the system provided could tariff quotas which have been opened until now be amended to take account of the accession of new entails, under these circumstances and in view of the Member States ; variety of the products concerned and in view of the specification of the benefiting countries and territories , calculations which are all the more problematic in that the statistical data required sometimes prove to HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION : be incomplete or not sufficiently accurate or represen­ tative ; whereas the time required for these calculations cannot be reconciled with the continuity necessary Article 1 for the application of the tariff preferences concerned ; whereas , under these conditions, it would be advisable still at this stage to adopt a fixed scale for allocating 1 . From 1 January to 31 December 1973 , the Common the Community tariff quotas concerned among the Customs Tariff duties on the products listed in Annex Member States ; whereas, using as a basis general A shall be completely suspended within the framework economic criteria relating to external trade, the gross of Community tariff quotas of amounts which shall be expressed in units of account and which shall be national product and population, the percentages for the initial shares of the Member States in the quota indicated in respect of each product in column 3 of such Annex . amounts are as follows for the quota year under consideration : 2 .
