EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. Council Regulations (EEC) Nos 3984/88 of 19 December 1988 (1) and 1878/89 
of 21 June 1989 (2) opened for 1989 or for the 2nd semester only 
Community tariff quotas at zero duty for polyvinyl butyral and magnetrons, 
which provisional volumes have been fixed respectively at 1 500 tonnes 
and 600 000 pieces. 
2. Subsequent to requests presented by the German and Benelux authorities, 
the Commission Services have examined in conjunction with national experts 
the possibility of increasing the volume of these tariff quotas. 
This examination has shown that the requested increases can be accepted 
by all the Member States without prejudice to the Community markets of 
these products.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, 
and in particular Article 28 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas Council Regulations (EEC) Nos 3984/88 of 19 December 1988 (1) 
and 1878/89 of 21 June 1989 (2) opened for 1989, or for the second semester 
only. Community tariff quotas at zero duty for polyvinyl butyral and 
magnetrons, which volumes have provisionally been fixed respectively at 
1 500 tonnes and 600 000 pieces; th*t on the basis of the data currently a-
vailable, it seems that these volumes will be insufficient to cover the 
needs of the Community until 31 December 1989 and that it is in the 
interest of the Community to allow the providing of the customer industry 
with favourable conditions; that it is appropriate to modify the above-
mentioned regulations with a view to increasing the volumes of the tariff 
quotas to the levels of real needs that heve been ascertained.

Fiche d'impact sur la compétitivité et l'emploi 
La présente proposition vise l'augmentation de contingents tarifaires 
communautaires autonomes ouverts pour l'année 1989. 
Comme pour les contingents initiaux, ces augmentations auront pour effet 
de permettre à ces industries de concurrencer celles des pays tiers sur 
les marchés de la Communauté et des pays tiers et de maintenir ou même 
d'améliorer l'emploi dans la Communauté.
