WHEREAS , BY REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 1926/78 ( 1 ) THE COUNCIL HAS ALREADY OPENED THE TARIFF QUOTA CONCERNED FOR THE PERIOD 1 SEPTEMBER TO 31 DECEMBER 1978 TO COVER FOUR-TWELFTHS OF THE ANNUAL AMOUNTS ; WHEREAS THE REMAINDER OF THE QUOTA IN QUESTION SHOULD THEREFORE BE OPENED FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY TO 31 AUGUST 1979 , IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DETAILED RULES LAID DOWN IN THE ARRANGEMENT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND THE AMENDMENTS THERETO , AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 2779/78 OF 23 NOVEMBER 1978 ON THE PROCEDURE FOR APPLYING THE EUROPEAN UNIT OF ACCOUNT ( EUA ) TO LEGAL ACTS ADOPTED IN THE CUSTOMS SPHERE ( 2 ) , AND IN PARTICULAR ARTICLE 2 THEREOF ; WHEREAS ON THIS BASIS THE TOTAL QUOTA VOLUME AND THE AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO EACH CATEGORY ARE 1 246 666 , 1 013 333 , 82 000 AND 151 333 EUROPEAN UNITS OF ACCOUNT RESPECTIVELY ;

WHEREAS PROVISION SHOULD BE MADE IN PARTICULAR TO ENSURE EQUAL AND CONTINUOUS ACCESS FOR THOSE CONCERNED WITH THIS QUOTA AND CONSISTENT APPLICATION OF THE RATE OF DUTY PRESCRIBED FOR THE SAID QUOTA UNTIL THE QUOTA IS EXHAUSTED , TO ALL GOODS REIMPORTED INTO ANY OF THE MEMBER STATES AND WHICH HAVE RECEIVED ONE OR OTHER OF THE TREATMENTS LISTED ABOVE ; WHEREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THESE PRINCIPLES ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE UTILIZATION OF THE QUOTA BASED ON AN ALLOCATION AMONG THE MEMBER STATES WOULD SEEM TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY CHARACTER OF THE SAID QUOTA ; WHEREAS IT THEREFORE SEEMS APPROPRIATE TO MAKE THE ALLOCATION ON THE BASIS OF THE AMOUNT OF THE TRAFFIC UNDER THE PREVIOUS BILATERAL AGREEMENTS , BUT WITHOUT PRECLUDING PARTICIPATION BY MEMBER STATES NOT PREVIOUSLY INVOLVED IN SUCH TRAFFIC , AMONG WHICH THE NEW MEMBER STATES ARE INCLUDED ; WHEREAS , TO SAFEGUARD THE COMMUNITY CHARACTER OF THE QUOTA , PROVISION SHOULD BE MADE TO MEET REQUIREMENTS WHICH MAY ARISE IN THOSE MEMBER STATES IN THE FUTURE PERMITTING THEM TO DRAW ADEQUATE AMOUNTS FROM THE COMMUNITY RESERVE ;
WHEREAS TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF FUTURE TRENDS IN THE TRAFFIC IN QUESTION IN THE VARIOUS MEMBER STATES , THE TOTAL QUOTA VOLUME OF 1 246 666 EUROPEAN UNITS OF ACCOUNT SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO TWO INSTALMENTS , THE FIRST BEING ALLOCATED AMONG CERTAIN MEMBER STATES AND THE SECOND HELD AS A RESERVE TO COVER THE SUBSEQUENT REQUIREMENTS OF MEMBER STATES WHEN ONE OF THEIR INITIAL SHARES HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED AND ALSO REQUIREMENTS WHICH MAY ARISE IN CERTAIN MEMBER STATES IN RESPECT OF PROCESSING WORK FOR WHICH NO INITIAL SHARE OF THE QUOTA WAS ALLOCATED ; WHEREAS IN ORDER TO GIVE THE PARTIES CONCERNED IN EACH MEMBER STATE SOME DEGREE OF CERTAINTY IT WOULD SEEM APPROPRIATE TO FIX THE FIRST INSTALMENT OF THE COMMUNITY QUOTA AT A RELATIVELY HIGH LEVEL , NAMELY 1 093 333 EUROPEAN UNITS AF ACCOUNT ; WHEREAS THE TOTAL COMMUNITY RESERVE OF 153 333 EUROPEAN UNITS OF ACCOUNT SHALL CONSIST OF AMOUNTS DRAWN FROM THE ALLOCATIONS IN RESPECT OF EACH CATEGORY , THAT IS 106 666 , 8 667 AND 38 000 EUROPEAN UNITS OF ACCOUNT RESPECTIVELY ;

WHEREAS IF AT A GIVEN DATE IN THE QUOTA PERIOD A CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF A MEMBER STATE'S INITIAL SHARE REMAINS UNUSED IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT SUCH STATE SHOULD RETURN A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION THEREOF TO THE RESERVE , IN ORDER TO PREVENT A PART OF THE COMMUNITY TARIFF QUOTA FROM REMAINING UNUSED IN ONE MEMBER STATE WHILE IT COULD BE USED IN OTHERS ;
