                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . Following the troubles in Iran the Council adopted , on 28 August 1979 ,
     Regulation ( EEC ) N° 1893 / 79 introducing registration for crude oil and / or
     petroleum product imports in the Community as a means of monitoring oil
     prices on the market .
2 . With the adoption of Regulations ( EEC ) N° 2592 / 79 and ( EEC ) N° 649 / 80
     the Council laid down rules for carrying out the registration of crude oil
     and petroleum product imports in the Community .
3 . The basic Regulation ( EEC ) N° 1893*/ 79 and the complementary Regulation
     ( EEC ) N° 2592 / 79 laying down the rules for carrying out registration
     of crude oil imports have been renewed each year but will expire on
     31 December 1982 .
4 . The complementary Regulation ( EEC ) N° 649 / 80 laying down rules for
     carrying out the registration of petroleum product imports expired on
     31 June 1981 and has not been renewed .
5 . The system , though set up to monitor market prices in a period of tension ,
     has turned out also to be a good means of obtaining , in normal circumstances ,
      a better picture of the crude oil supply conditions of the Member States
     of the Community . The interesting and useful results it has produced at
      national and Community level warrant its renewal for a period of three
      years .
      This would give a virtually permanent information system which would :
      serve as an instrument of continuous market analysis and as a means of
      monitoring prices on the world market in periods of tension .
 6 . A similar decision has already been adopted by other consumer countries
      within the OECD / IEA .
