be possible to offer agreements that supplying countries might find reasonable and avoid the dangers of disruptive concentration by exporters on sectors of the Community market thought to be vulnerable. The proposed quota and sub-limit figures in the tables have been selected for the purpose of illustration, and refer only to totals. Nothing has been included to show specific product ceilings, group limits, temporary national exceptions to the general picture, or limits for non-cottons. All these factors add complexity to the models which might eventually be devised. But the central principle of national sub-limits, the sum of which would be increasingly greater than the Community quota, would remain operative.

Administration
There are no insuperable problems connected with the administration of such a scheme, but the Commission and import licensing authorities of the Member States would have to co-operate closely, as they already do in other fields, in order to ensure smooth operation of the agreements. It is assumed that all new agreements would in principle, be administered by the exporting country, and that there would be no need to allocate import licences to traders in the Community. The authorities in the exporting country would issue certificates for each shipment and debit the amount against a. the Community quota and b. the sub-limit of the Member State to which the goods were exported. The authority in the importing country would issue the appropriate import licence and inform the Commission, for the purpose of dual control. When goods subject to quota restriction were re-exported, without having been sufficiently processed to acquire Community origin, from one Member State to another, the authority of the final importing country would inform the Commission of the transaction, and the Commission would then inform both the exporting country and the first importing country, so that the corresponding debit and credit could be recorded against the national sub-limits concerned.
