(2)in Article 6, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:‘2.The ceiling for each product group of a traditional importer applicable in the following quota period (“quota period n+1”) shall be calculated in accordance with the average of such importer's actual imports of the product group concerned during the two quota periods preceding the year of calculation of such ceiling, on the basis of the following formula:
Ci = T * (Īi/ΣĪi)
“Ci” represents the ceiling for the product group concerned (spruce or pine) for importer i during quota period n+1;
“T” represents the quota for traditional importers available for the product group concerned during the year of calculation of the ceiling (“quota period n”);
“Īi” represents the average of the actual imports by the traditional importer i of the product group concerned, in the two quota periods preceding the calculation (“quota period n-2” and “quota period n-1”, respectively), as follows:[(actual imports of importer i in quota period n-2) + (actual imports of importer i in quota period n-1)]/2
“ΣĪi” represents the sum of all traditional importers' average imports Īi for the product group concerned.’;
