EXPLANATORY Î-1EMORAITDUÏ4
I. Intheinterest ofasecure supply ofcopper ,lead andaluminium at
competitive prices ,theCommunity hasforseveral years maintained export
quotas forthefollowing categories ofproducts :
ex26.03 Ashandresidues ofcopper andcopper alloys
ex74-01 Waste andscrap ofcopper andcopper alloys
-resulting from thebreaking-up ofships
registered inthird countries orof
ammunition sold bythearmed forces of
third countries
-other
76.01 B Aluminium waste andscrap
78.01 B Lead waste andscrap .
2. Onthe17October 1975 »a.consultation took place ,asprovided by
Council Regulation no.2603/69,between theCommission 'sservices andthe
national experts inregards totheexport arrangement for1976 .Atthis
meeting ,theMember States ,inagreement with theCommission ,recognised
that despite acertain improvement inthesupply situation ,itwasnecessary
tomaintain inforce export quotas ,inorder toforestall fresh supply
difficulties .Inview oftheuncertain future position ,theCommittee
envisaged apossible re-examination ofthesituation attheendofthe
first half of1976 .
3. Allmembers oftheCommittee expressed their support forthe
establishment andthedistribution ofCommunity quantitative export quotas
fortheproducts listed unter 1,with theexception oflead waste andscrap .
4. Onthesubject ofCommunity quantitative export quotas forlead
waste andscrap (position 78»01 BoftheCCT),Committee members ^,opinions
were divided :theGerman government pointed outthat for1976 additional
exports would berequired tocover outward processing .

Certain delegations opposed theGermen request .TheCommission
thinks ,however ,that inview oft]ie .improved supply situation anincrease
inthequota ispossible ,andproposes therefore toraise theCommunity
quota to1,600 tonnes (less than 0,15$oftotal consumption oflead),
this quota tobedistributed according toestimated needs .
5. Inorder not toallow discussion onquotas forlead waste andscrap
tohold uptheCouncil decision onother products ,theCommission thought
itappropriate tosubmit totheCouncil twoseparate proposals ,attached
hereto ,which could ifnecessary becombined ,iftheCouncil finds itself
able toreach decision onthesecond oftheCommission 'sproposals within
theprescribed time .
