Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions. For that purpose, new Community tariff quotas should be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products.\n(2)\nThe quota amount for an autonomous Community tariff quota is insufficient to meet the needs of the Community industry for the current quota period and should therefore be increased.\n(3)\nRegulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
