Regulation ( EEC ) No 2470/ 78 of 16 October 1978 ( 1 ) opened for 1979
for certain plywoods of coniferous species a Community tariff quota
which was subject to review in the course of the year .         The initial
quantity was 700,000 m3 .
This review was carried out ofl 25 June 1979 .        It emerged from consulta­
tion with the Member States that additional requirements will be in
the region of 150,000 m3 .        While awaiting a new revision which will be
made in September , on the basis of more        precise economic data , it is
proposed to settle for a provisional increase of 100,000 m3 .
This proposition is intended to introduce the increase , by means of
increasing the Community reserve to which all Member States which have
used up their initial share have access .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community /
and ,in particular Articles 28 and 113 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas by. Regulation ( EEC ) No 2470/ 78 ( 1 ) the Council opened and allocated
among the Member States , for certain plywoods of coniferous species falling
within heading No ex 44.15 of the Common Customs Tariff , a Community tariff
quota with zero duty, the volume of which was fixed at a level of 700 000
cubic metres ;
Whereas , on the basis of the most recent data on these products for 1979 ,
it may be estimated that the additional imports from non-member countries
required by the Community could reach 150 000 cubic meters ; whereas , pending
a new revision made on the basis of more precise economic data , it is
necessary' to increase the quota by 100 000 cubic metres in order
to take into account the said immediate requirements ;         whereas , in order' 'to
safeguard the Community character of the tariff quota in question , the pro­
posed increase should be added to the Community reserve set up under the above'
mentioned Regulation ,
