THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1023/70 of 25 May 1970 establishing a common procedure for administering quantitative quotas (1), and in particular Articles 2 and 11 thereof,

Whereas, in Regulation (EEC) No 2299/93 (3), the Commission distributed this quota among the Member States on the basis of traditional trade flows by subdividing it into two allocations, one of 51 000 tonnes (distributed on the adoption of the abovementioned Regulation) and the other of 9 000 tonnes which is the Community reserve to be allocated at a later date, to meet demand from those who are not traditional importers;
