           Since Council . Regulation ( EEC ) No 3^6^/76 of 16 December 1976
wan adopted there has been no time-limit' on the _ system. It is also
provided that the Council , acting on a proposal from the Commission , j
should decide , by JO November of each year , on any. increase in the Com­
munity quota and on the . allocation to the Member States of the resulting
extra authorizations .
2,       . Given the need for progress in the Community wide integration
of transport systems , specifically in the field of road transport between
lumber States , which should not only make it easier to eliminate any
inequality in the treatment of carriers but also promote trade ; con­
sidering , moreover , that the Community quota system is one of the means '
o, bringing about such integration , but that the efficient performance ■
of this role depends on its impact on the type of transport concerned ;
given , finally , the increase in trade between Member States in 1977 and
the wide spread use of Community authorizations ( in 1976 , .the average-
utilization of an authorization was .1 61V3OO tkm , equivalent to 80 000 km
per vehicle with a 20 t payldad ), the Community quota should be increased
by 20 % for 1979 .
