Article 1
United Kingdom
The tariff rate quotas included in the schedule of concessions and commitments of the Union annexed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994) shall be apportioned between the Union and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the ‘United Kingdom’) in line with the following methodology:
the Union’s usage share of imports in percentages, for each individual tariff rate quota is established, over a recent representative three-year period;
the Union’s usage share of imports, in percentages, is applied to the entire scheduled tariff rate quota volume to arrive at its share in volume of a given tariff rate quota;
for individual tariff rate quotas for which no trade can be observed during the representative period as laid down in point (a), the Union’s portion is instead established by following the procedure laid down in point (b) on the basis of the Union’s usage share of imports, in percentages, of another tariff rate quota with the exact same product definition, or in the corresponding tariff lines outside of the tariff rate quota.
The Union’s portion of the tariff rate quotas referred to in paragraph 1 resulting from the application of the methodology referred to in that paragraph shall be as follows:
as regards tariff rate quotas for agricultural products, as set out in Part A of the Annex;
as regards tariff rate quotas for fisheries products, industrial products and certain processed agricultural products, as set out in Parts B and C of the Annex.
