COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
COM(83) 642 final 
Brussels, 28 October 1983
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
maintaining the export arrangements for aluminium 
waste and scrap
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)
COM(83) 642 final

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. By Regulation (EEC) No 2822/83 of 11 October 1982 CD, the 
Commission suspended the issue of export licences for aluminium waste 
and scrap under sub-heading 76.01 B of the Common Customs Tariff.
This arrangement therefore replaces for the remainder of the year, 
and whilst awaiting examination of the arrangements for 1984, that of 
simple export surveillance implemented by the Community, and for 1983, 
by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3440/82 (2). The need to suspend the 
issue of export licences arose because of the threat of a shortage on 
the Community market due to a particularly sharp increase in recent months 
in the exports of this product at a time when the world market supply is 
also tight, inter alia because of structural changes in aluminium production. 
This action is without prejudice to the arrangements to be established 
for 1984, which the Committee is due to discuss in the next few weeks.
2. The regulation of the Commission has been drawn up on the basis of 
Council Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 on the establishment of common rules 
for exports (3). In conformity with Article 6 of this Regulation, the 
Commission must, after adoption of an emergency measure, propose the 
appropriate measures for the Council to take.
It is therefore proposed that the Council adopt the following Regulation.
