Quotas for importers
Article 4
The calculated level of hydrochlorofluorocarbons that each importer may place on the market or use for its own account shall not exceed, as a percentage of the calculated levels set out in Article 4(3)(i)(d), (e) and (f) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000, the percentage share assigned to it in 1999.
By way of derogation the calculated level of hydrochlorofluorocarbons that each importer in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia may place on the market or use for its own account shall not exceed, as a percentage of the calculated levels set out in Article 4(3)(i)(d), (e) and (f) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000, the average of its percentage market share in 2002 and 2003.
Any amounts, however, which cannot be placed on the market, because importers entitled to do so did not apply for an import quota, shall be reallocated between those importers that have been given an import quota.
The amount unallocated shall be divided between each importer and calculated on a proportional basis by reference to the size of the quotas already determined for those importers.
