As a result of requests made by the authorities of Belgium and the United
Kingdom, the Services of the Commission have examined with government
experts the opportunity of opening a duty-free tariff quota for fish-
liver oils and aniline , in order to meet a temporary shortfall in
Community production .
Following this examination it appears that a solution which envisages the
opening of a duty-free tariff quota for each of these products , initially
limited to 2 000 and 4 500 tonnes for a period lasting until 30 June or
31 December as appropriate , could be agreed unanimously by the Member
States , without disturbing the Community market for the products in
question .
                                                                     «*
It is understood that during 1989, the beneficiary user industries must
strive for better utilization of Community production capacity , which
shoul^significantly increase .
This is the purpose of the proposal .
