1.   Article 1 ( 2 ) of Regulation (EEC ) No 2886 /75 of 29 October 1975
     opening , allocating and providing for the administration ( for 1976 ) of
     a Community tariff quota for newsprint authorizes Member States to
     charge against this tariff quota , until 30 June 1976 , other types of
     paper which comply with the definition of newsprint contained in the
     Additional Note to Chapter 48 , except as regards the criteria
     governing watermarks .
2.   The question of the extending the relevant authorization to 31
     December 1976 , as requested by the Federal Republic of Germany , was
     examined at the meeting of the "Economic Tariff Problems " Group held
     on 11 February 1976 .
     From the discussion which took place on that occasion it emerged that ,
     pending a decision on the more general problem of replacement , in the
     definition of newsprint , of criteria governing watermarks by another-
     control system, the extension requested would be accepted by a very
     large majority of the Member States and possibly unanimously .
3.   This proposal for a regulation for extending to 31 December 1976 the
     provisions of Article 1 ( 2 ) of the above-mentioned regulation .
 OJ No L 292 of 12 November 1975 .
