Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

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.

r i = (0,75*ΣΑ i – I i )/ΣΑ i

‘ 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;
