The applications for import licences lodged under certain quotas during the first seven days of March 2008 for the subperiod 1 April to 30 June 2008 relate to quantities exceeding those available. The quantities for which licences may be issued should therefore be determined by setting the allocation coefficient by which the quantities applied for are to be multiplied.

The applications for import licences lodged under certain quotas during the first seven days of March 2008 for the subperiod 1 April to 30 June 2008 do not cover the total available. The quantities for which applications have not been lodged should therefore be determined, and these should be added to the quantity fixed for the following quota subperiod,
