                             COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
in particular Article 28 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas by Regulation ( EEC ) No 964/ 78 of 8 May 1978 on the opening , allocation
and administration of a Community tariff quota for certain eels falling within
subheading ex 03.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff (1 July 1978 - 30 June
      1
1979 ) the Council opened and allocated among the Member States a zero-duty
Community tariff quota , the volume of which was fixed at 6 100 tonnes ;
Whereas , on the basis of the most recent figures concerning this product for
the present period , it would appear that 1300 tonnes of additional imports into
the Community from third countries are required ; whereas the quota should be
increased by this amount in order to take account of requirements ; whereas
to safeguard the Community nature of the tariff quota in question , this
additional volume should be allocated to the Community reserve set up by
Article 2(2) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 964/ 78,
10J No L 125 of 13.5.1978, p. 1 .
