(a) the sensitive goods covering between 30 and 40 tariff headings with duty free import controlled by means of import licences granted in advance. On each product the total annual quote for the Community will be divided into five (Belgium and Luxembourg forming one unit) and each separate customs administration will be responsible for the licensing end control of the sensitive imports within their share of the quota. Presumably the five shares will not be equal in amount.
(b)
semi-sensitive products numbering between 40 and 50 which will also be subject to import
sences; licences will however be granted automatic- ally for any amount and without restriction.
(c)
•
non-sensitive products which will not require individual licences and will not be subject to any control, other than the existing statistical returns which will enable the Community to check whether potentially. sensitive volumos of imports ore occurring.
