Act ofAccession .Itmay besummarized asfollows :
Bullion lead
(a)thesubdivision ofthis metal intheCommon Customs Tariff bythe
creation ofanewsubheading within heading No78.01 ;
(b)theconversion ofthepresent specific duty of1.32 u.a./lOOkg

(f)from 1973j"thepossibility ofatotal suspension ofthedutyfor
anindefinite period tobereviewed annually %
Unwrou£ht lead other than bullion lead
(a)theconversion assoon aspossible andby1January 197^atthe
latest ofthepresent specific duty of1.32 u.a./lOOkginto an
advalorem duty ofk.5% with aminimum charge of1.1u.a./lOOkg;
(b)thenewMember States toshare inthe55000metric ton nilduty
Community tariff quota from 1January 197^;
Inpoint offact ,theCommon Customs Tariff provides inrespect of
this subheading foranautonomous duty ofk,5% andaconventional
duty of1.32 u.a./lOOkg.

-met-rt
(c)thereduction from 1January 1975 oftheamount ofthequota ,
which will beabolished by31December 1977 ;
(d)anexamination ofthesituation ,before thequota isabolished ,
with aview todeciding onapossible reduction oftheduty (with
aminimum charge of1.1u.a.AOO kg),itbeing understood that ,
whatever theaction taken ,protection oftheCommunity smelting
industry must continue :
Unwrought zinc
(a)theconversion from 1January 197 ^+ofthespecific duty of
1.32 u.a./lOOkginto aduty ofk.5% with aminimum charge of
1.1u.a./lOOkg;
(b)thenewMember States toshare from that date inthenilduty
tariff quota which ,fixed at30000metric tons in1971 1will be
reduced each year ,except in197^1 andwill beabolished with
effect from 31December 1977 -
2.TheCommission notes that ,although theCommunity nature ofthe
quotas opened wasinsufficiently marked ,thesystem adopted for
theyears 1971 to197^constituted theonly means possible of
progressing from thepurely national arrangements towards a
Community }solution .This iswhy .thedraft Regulations annexed
hereto ,concerning thequotas tobeopened for1975 1arevery
largely based onthose forthepreceding years asregards the
conditions onwhich thequotas areopened ,their allocation and
\uniform method ofadministration .
Furthermore ,these draft Regulations take account oftheopinion
jointly expressed bytheexperts that theMember States should beat
liberty torestrict theunwrought lead other than bullion lead andthe
zinc .tobecharged against thequotas tolead andzinc ofcertain
qualities orlead andzinc tobeused forcertain purposes .

ANNEX A
Draft
REGULATION (EEC ) OFTHECOUNCIL
ontheopening ,allocation andadministration ofCommunity
tariff quotas forbullion lead ,andunwrought lead other
than bullion lead ,falling within subheadings Nos78.01 AI
and AIIofthe Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OFTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic
Community ,andinparticular Article 28thereof ;
Having regard tothedraft Regulation submitted bytheCommission ;
Whereas Protocol lV*"totheActofAccession provides that the
Community istoopen each year nilduty Community tariff quotas for
bullion lead (forrefining ,containing 0.02# ormore byweight of
silver )falling within subheading No78.01 AIuntil theentry into
force ofatotal suspension ofthe customs duty for anindefinite
period and for lead' other than bullion lead falling within subheading
No78.01 AII,theamount ofthequota tocorrespond ,inthecase of
bullion lead ,tothe total amount inrespect ofwhich requests have
been received byMember States ,plus aCommunity reserve and ,inthe
case ofunwrought lead other than bullion lead ,todecrease annually
from 1January 1975 byanamount fixed for197^at55000metric tons
tozero in1978 ;whereas theProtocol also provides that thenew
Member States aretoshare inthetariff quotas from 1January 197^5
OJNoL73,27Marc h1972 ,p.171 .

GUD/369/7*f-E
ANNEX A
whereas theduties tobeapplied bythenewMember States inrespect
ofimports coming within those tariff quotas must beinaccordance
with theprovisions laid down therefor intheActofAccession ;
whereas Community tariff quotas should therefore beopened on
1January 1975 for *fl000metric tons ofunwrought lead other than
bullion lead andfor350000metric tons (representing theestimated
requirements oftheMember States )ofbullion lead ;
Whereas ,inview ofthefact that interpenetration between themarkets
inbullion lead and inunwrought lead other than bullion lead is
slight andthat full statistics relating tothese twoqualities of
lead arelacking ,itdoes not seem possible tobase th6allocation
oftheCommunity tariff quotas inquestion onearlier data ;whereas
thefigure of^1000metric tons fixed forunwrought lead other than
bullion lead takes account oftheneed topreserve acertain balance
among thevarious products which could becharged against thetariff
quota forunwrought lead ingeneral ,thereby maintaining protection
ofthesmelting industry ;whereas Member States should therefore
beatliberty toauthorize only products satisfying certain
conditions astoquality andintended use tobecharged against that
quota ofkl000metric tons ;
Whetfeas ,inorder tomake greater allowance forchanges inimport
trends inrespect oftheproducts inquestion ,thequota foreach
quality ofunwrought lead should bedivided into twotranches ,the
first tobeallocated among theMember States ,thesecond toform a
reserve intended tocover anysubsequent requirements ofMember
States which exhaust their initial shares ;whereas ,inorder to
ensure acertain degree ofsecurity forimporters ,theinitial
tranches should besetat315600metric tons ,inthecase ofbullion
lead ,and38130metric tons ,inthecase ofunwrought lead other
than bullion lead ,theremainder constituting thereserve ;whereas ,
having regard toestimates taking account ofmarket trends inthese
products ,thefirst tranches maybeallocated asfollows :

Whereas Member States may exhaust their' initial shares atdifferent
rates ;whereas toavoid disruption ofsupplies onthis account it
should beprovided that anyMember State "which hasalmost used up
either ofits initial shares should draw anadditional share from
thereserve ;whereas each time one ofits additional shares isalmost
exhausted aMember State should draw afurther share ,and soonas
many times asthereserve allows ;whereas theinitial and additional
shares should bevalid until the endofthequota period ;whereas
-.this form ofadministration requires close collaboration between the
Member States arid theCommission ,and theCommission must beina
position tokeep account oftheextent towhich thequota hasbeen
used upand toinform theMember States accordingly ;
Whereas ifatagiven date inthequota period aconsiderable quantity
ofone orother ofaMember State 'sinitial shares remains unused it
isessential ,toprevent apart ofone orother ofthequotas from
remaining unused in on'e .Member State while itcould-_be used inothers ,
that such'' State should' return asignificant proportion thereof tothe
reserve ;
