COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3561/83
of 14 December 1983
increasing the Community tariff quota opened for 1983 by Regulation (EEC) No 3425/82 for newsprint falling within subheading 48.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 28 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 3425/82 (1), opened and allocated among the Member States a duty-free Community tariff quota for newsprint, falling within subheading 48.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff, the amount of which was fixed at 2 500 000 tonnes; whereas, by that Regulation, the benefit of the tariff quota in question was extended to certain other types of paper which, apart from the criterion of watermarks, correspond to the definition of newsprint given in the Additional Note to Chapter 48 of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, on the basis of the most recent data on this product for 1983, it is estimated that the additional imports from third countries required by the Community currently amount to 180 000 tonnes; whereas the size of the quota should be increased by this quantity to take account of the requirements noted; whereas, in order to safeguard the Community character of the tariff quota in question, part of the volume of the proposed increase should be allocated to the Community reserve, the balance being allocated among certain Member States on a pro rata basis according their foreseeable requirements for imports originating in third countries,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 3425/82 for newsprint falling within subheading 48.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff is hereby increased from 2 500 000 to 2 680 000 tonnes.
Article 2
1. The first tranche of the additional volume referred to in Article 1, amounting to 175 000 tonnes, shall be allocated as follows among the Member States concerned:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 12 350 // Denmark // 9 720, // Germany // 44 625, // Greece // 9 290, // France // 14 370, // United Kingdom // 84 645.
2. The second tranche, amounting to 5 000 tonnes, shall constitute the reserve.
The reserve provided for in Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3425/82 is thus increased from 150 000 to 155 000 tonnes.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 14 December 1983.
