EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.TheCommunity quotasystemwasintroduced byCouncilRegulation (EEC)

(EEC)No3164/76of16December19763).
2.Article3(3)ofCouncilRegulation (EEC)No3164/76requires the
Council (actingonaproposal fromtheCommission )todecide,by30November
eachyear,onanyIncrease intheCommunity quotaandontheallocation to
theMemberStatesoftheresulting extraauthorizations .
3.ItwouldappeartimelytotaketheCommunity quotabeyonditspresent

theCommission proposed thatthepresent Community quotabedoubled.

2)OJNoL298,31December 1972,p.16
3)OJNoL357,29December 1976,p.1

A.TheCommission isoftheopinionthatsuchanincrease intheCommunity
quotaisnotlikelytocausesubstantial changeincompetition inthemarket
forthefollowing reasons :
(a)Transport operations effected underCommunity authorizations nowaccount
foronlyabout7.5%ofinternational roadtransport operations
forHireorrewardandapproximately 3.8%oftotalcarriage ofgoodsby
road(onownaccount andforhireorreward)between MemberStates;
(b)although thegrowthintradebetween MemberStateshasslackened asa
resultoftheeconomiccrisis,itisinanyeventessential toaddto
theroad-haulage capacity now,inthemarket;itwouldseemfeasibleto
effecttheincrease ontheCommunity quota,givingitpriority over
bilateralquotas.
5.Theexpansion oftheCommunity quotawillfulfilarealcommercial need.
Thehightonnageutilization underthepresent Community quotaillustrates
theneedformultilateral transport tobeincreased inordertoimprovethe
currentorganization oftraffic andsatisfytheneedsoftheeconomy.
6.Asitpointedoutinitsproposal of1October 1975,theCommission is
alsooftheopinionthat,inviewofcertainfactorswhicharelikelyto
affecttheshareofCommunity traffictakenbycarriers ofanygivenMember
State(e.g.thosefromperipheral countries orcountries wheresevere
quantitative restrictions apply),thepragmatic approach shouldbemaintained
whereby 50%oftheincrease inquotasshouldbeallocated according tothe
utilization ofCommunity authorizations in1975,theotherhalfbeing
distributed linearly onthebasisofthequotaslaiddown1nCouncil
Regulation (EEC)No3256/76.
7.FinallytheCommission believes thattherelaxation oftheconditions
ofuseofCommunity authorizations willobviatetheneedforstatistical
information suchasabreakdown ofbilateral traffic;ittherefore recommends
asomewhat simplerrecordsheetforeasierandmorerapiduse,forreasons
ofcost,toreducetheobligations imposed onoperators andtospeedup
theforwarding ofinformation bytheMemberStates.However,these
simplified recordsheetswillnothavetobeuseduntil 1July1978,so
thatexisting stocksofbooksofrecordsheetscanbeusedupasfaras
possible andtherequisite timecanbeallowedfortheprinting ofthenew
recordsheets.

PROPOSAL FOR ACOUNCIL REGULATION
amending Regulation (EEC)No3164 /76ontheCommunity quota
forthecarriage ofgoods byroad between Member States
THECOUNCIL OFTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,
and inparticular Article 75thereof ,
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Having regard totheOpinion oftheEuropean Parliament ,
Having regard totheOpinion oftheEconomic andSocial Committee ,
Whereas theestablishment ofthesystem ofCommunity authorizations has,
inter alia ,provided more intensive andmore rational useofauthorized
capacity andthegradual adaptation oftheundertakings concerned tothe
requirements ofmultilateral traffic ;
Whereas ,asasteptowards economic integration ,atransport market should
besetupwhich alltheMember States' road haulage operators canhave
equal access without discrimination based onnationality ;
Whereas thesystem ofCommunity authorizations contributes
tothis objective andtotherelaxation ofquantitative restrictions and,
consequently ,islikely tofacilitate trade between Member States atCommunity
level ;whereas theCommunity quota should therefore besubstantially
increased Interms ofvolume ;
Whereas ,furthermore ,inthelight ofexperience andthegreater opportunities
forusing Community authorizations ,therecord sheet fortransport operations
carried outunder thesystem .ofCommunity authorizations should besimplified ,
without thereby detracting from thereliability ofthestatistical data
collected inorder toestablish andallocate the .said quota ;whereas ,however ,
