EXPLANATORY MEMORANDOM 
1. Under Council Regulation (EEC) No 4249/88 of 21 December 19881 exports 
of oopper waste and scrap (CN code 7404 CO) were oovered by a quota for 
1969. 
2. Unexpected additional requirements arose in a Member State after the 
quota initially allowed for had been entirely distributed to the Member 
States under Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2068/89 of 11 
July 1989.2 
3. It is necessary to take account of this exceptional situation and 
therefore to increase the Community quota In question by the amount 
necessary, namely 6 000 tonnes. 
4. The consultative committee set up by Regulation 2608/69 has been 
consulted. All the Member States present gave a favourable opinion 
concerning this increase, with the exception of one Member State which 
considered such an increase flurtng the year inappropriate. The 
Commission for its part considers the Increase necessary. 
It is therefore proposed that the Council adopt the attatohed proposal for
