THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 of 20 December 1969 establishing common rules for exports (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1023/70 of 25 May 1970 establishing a common procedure for administering quantitative quotas (2), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under Regulations (EEC) No 3438/80 (3) and (EEC) No 1792/81 (4), exports of aluminium and lead waste and scrap were made subject, for the duration of 1981 in the case of aluminium and for the second half of 1981 in the case of lead, to production of a prior export licence to be issued by the relevant authorities of the Member States according to procedures to be laid down; whereas this arrangement expires on 31 December 1981;
Whereas, in order to avoid supply difficulties for copper ash and residues and for copper waste and scrap, Community quantitative export quotas were fixed in Regulation (EEC) No 3438/80; whereas these quotas remain in force until 31 December 1981;
Whereas it is necessary to maintain in force for 1982 the system of export licences for aluminium and lead products and the quotas for copper products;
Whereas the Committee set up by Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 has been consulted;
Whereas the criterion for the allocation of the said quotas should be determined;
Whereas the provisions relating to the monitoring of intra-Community trade laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 223/77 of 22 December 1976 on provisions for the implementation of the Community transit procedure and for certain simplifications of that procedure (5) apply only if the measures introducing export restrictions provide for their application,
