                             EXPLANATORY }ι&ν··.> RANDUM
1.  An investigation of the Community market in zino waste and scrap
(CN code 7902 00 00), carried out pursuant to Regulation 2603/69
establishing common rules for exports , 1 has revealed a marked upward trend
in exports of these products , particularly to Taiwan , with the result that
prices are being pushed up and the Community processing Industry is at
great risk of experiencing supply difficulties .
2 . It would therefore appear necessary to set up a priori surveillance of
these exports , involving the issue of a prior authorization .
3 . Moreover , with a view to finding out exactly which exports have brought
about this market situation , the prior authorization should specifically
mention , where appropriate , that the export in question is zino alloy waste
resulting from the non-ferrous heavy-metal component of the fragmentation
of disused equipment (motor vehicles , domestio electrical appliances).
4 . The advisory committee of Regulation 2603/60 has been consulted and has
agreed unanimously to the establishment of suoh surveillance .
Consequently , the Council is requested to adopt the attached proposal for a
regulation .
