CHAPTER 6

UNUSED QUOTA AUTHORISATIONS
Article 13
1
Where the actual imports by a traditional importer during quota period n-1 are less than 75 % of the quantities covered by all quota authorisations for a product group granted to such importer during the same quota period, the importer's import ceilings for the product group concerned during quota period n+1 shall be reduced by an amount proportional to the size of missing actual imports.
2
The reduction referred to in paragraph 1 shall be calculated as follows:
- r
i
= (0,75*ΣΑ
i
– I
i
)/ΣΑ
i
where:
- ‘
ri
’
represents the reduction applicable to the import ceiling of importer i, for the product group concerned, during the quota period n+1;
- ‘
ΣΑi
’
represents the sum of the quantities covered by quota authorisations for the product group concerned granted to the traditional importer i during the quota period n-1;
- ‘
Ii
’
represents the actual imports of the product group concerned of importer i during the quota period n-1.
