COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3983/88 of 19 December 1988 increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota opened for 1988 for newsprint

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, for newsprint, the Community has reached an agreement which provides in particular for the opening of a Community tariff quota of 650 000 tonnes, of which 600 000 tonnes are reserved, until 30 November of each year, exclusively for products from Canada, in accordance with Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; whereas this agreement provides equally for the obligation to increase, by 5 %, that part of the quota reserved for imports from Canada, in the event that that part is used up before the end of a given period of one year; whereas the quota of 650 000 tonnes was opened for 1988 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 4103/87 (1);

Whereas the economic data at present available give rise to the belief that the requirements for importing newsprint from Canada could reach a level higher than the said volume of 600 000 tonnes; whereas the volume of that part of quota reserved for these imports should be increased, therefore, by 30 000 tonnes,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 1. The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 4103/87 for newsprint from Canada shall be increased from 600 000 tonnes to 630 000 tonnes.

2. This increase of 30 000 tonnes shall be added to the Community reserve set up by Article 3 (2) of the said Regulation, thus increasing the reserve from 240 000 tonnes to 270 000 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (1) as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3483/88 (2), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,
