  Regulation ( EEC) No 2886/75 of 29 October 1975 ( 1 ) opened for 1976
  for newsprint a Community tariff quota which was subject to review in the
  course of the year . The initial quantity was 2,250,000 mt .
  The revision has been done at a meeting of the "Economic Tariff Problems-
  group on 24 September 1976 where it was unanimously decided to increase
  the volume by 150,000 mt to cover the supplementary needs which have
  appeared in certain Member States .
  This proposition is intended to introduce the increase, by means of
   increasing the Community reserve to which all Member States which ha^e
  used up their initial share have access .

                 within subheading 48.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff
    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
    Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
   and in particular Articles 28 and 113 thereof ;
                                                        2
   Having regard to the proposal of the Commission;

                                                       t
   Whereas , for newsprint falling within subheading 48.01 A of the Common
   Customs Tariff , a duty-free Community tariff quota, the amount of which
   has been fixed at 2,250,000 metric tons , has been opened by the Council
   and allocated among the Member States by Regulation ( EEC ) No 2886/ 75 ( 1 );
  whereas, by Regulation ( EEC) No 1171 /76 of 17 May 1976 ( 2), the benefit
  of the tariff quota in question was extended t<S certain types of paper
  which, apart from the criterion of watermarks , ^ corresponds to the
  definition of newsprint given in the Additional Note to Chapter 48 of
  the Common Customs Tariff ;
 Whereas, on the basis of the most recent data orf this product for 1976,
  it may be estimated that the additional import ^ from nort-member countries
 required by the Community amount to 150,000 metric tons; whereas the
 size of the quota, should be increased by this ifuantity to take account
 of the requirements noted; whereas, in order to safeguard the Community
 character of the tariff quota in question, a Community reserve equal
 to the proposed increase should be set up ;
                                                     1
