                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.  Council Regulations (EEC) No 3402/901 and No 3913/90 2 opened
    autonomous tariff quotas for 1991 in respect of:
        130 t at zero duty  for polyvinylpyrrolidone,
    - 8 500 t at zero duty  for montmor111onIte,
         75 t at zero duty  for 4-benzylbiphenyl,
         51 t at zero duty  for AC catalysts.
2.  In response to the requests filed by some Member States, the
    Commission, together with government experte, examined the advisability
    of increasing the volume of these tariff qi3tas, in line with the
    additional requirements expressed. A favourable decision should be
    acceptable to all the Member Sates, without disrupting the Community
    market for these products.

                     COUNCIL REGULATION No           _Zâl
                                 of
            increasing the volume of the Community tariff quotas
            opened by Regulations (EEC) No 3402/901 and 3913/902
                  in respect of certain industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUN IT I TES,
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 Council Regulations (EEC) No 3402/90 and 3913/90 opened Community
tariff quotas at zero duty in respect of certain industrial products for
the period from 1 January to 31 December 1991,
Whereas, on the basis of the latest statistics concerning these products
for the current year, it is estimated that the Community's immediate
additional requirements for imports from non-member countries are higher
than those initially provided for; whereas the quota volumes should be
increased to cover those requirements,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                  Article 1
The volume of the Community tariff quotas opened by Regulations (EEC)
No 3402/90 and 3913/90 in respect of the products listed below shall be
increased within the limit of the quantities shown in respect of each of
them:
