                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Following the judgement of the Court of Justice given on 22
May 1985 in case no . 13 / 83 ( 1 ), as well as the conclusions
adopted by the European Council of Heads of State and Governments
on 28 and 29 June 1985 concerning the Commission 's White Paper on
completing the internal market , the Council at its sessions of
18 / 19 June and 30 June 1986 ( 2 ) adopted , in particular , the
following conclusions :
a ) Definitive organisation of the market
     A free market without quantitative restrictions must be
     established by 1992 at the latest in the intra-community
     transport of goods by road .
b ) Transitional phase
     In order to achieve , during the transitional phase , a
     progressive adaptation of the free market , the realisation of
     which must be by 1992 at the latest , and also so that the
     transfer to the new system is carried out as flexibly as
     possible , the annual percentage increase in the Community
     quota must be higher than the present percentage of 15 % .
     Therefore , this increase must go up to 40 % compounded
     annually from 1987 until the final phase is implemented .
     On the basis of these conclusions , the Commission presented on
     13.11.1986 the proposal for a Council Regulation on access to
     the market for the carriage of goods by road between Member
     States ( 3 ). This proposal , which contains all the rules
     necessary for the organisation of these transport markets
     during the transitional period and for the definitive regime
     from 1.1.1992 , also envisages an increase in the Community
     quota of 40 % for 1987 as was proposed in the Council 's
     conclusions of June 1986 .

 ---pagebreak---                                          2
However , up till now it has not been possible to decide on this
increase and on the distribution of authorizations amongst Member
States since the Commission 's proposal referred to above is not
yet ready to be adopted in its entirety .
Therefore the Commission has decided on the basis of Council
Regulation ( EEC ) No . 3164 / 76 , as last amended by Council
Regulation ( EEC ) No . 3677 / 85 ( 1 ) on 30.9.1986 , to increase the
Community quota by 15 % and to add a corrector based on art .
3 § 6 of the Régulation ( 2 ).
This Commission decision was confirmed by Council decision
No . 86 / 647 / EEC of 16.12.1986 ( 3 ) which added a corrector to the
Belgian share of the Community quota .
The Council now intends to set the definitive number of Community
authorizations for 1987 during its meeting ( Transport ) on
23 / 24 March .
Since the Council cannot yet adopt the Commission 's proposal of
13.11.1986 it wishes to achieve the same end by means of an ad
hoc regulation following a proposal from the Commission and
consultation of the European Parliament and the Economic and
Social Committee .
That is the aim of this proposal . It incorporates the figures for
the 1987 Community quota that were contained in the proposal of
13.11.1986 and takes account of the Council 's decision of
December    1986 .
Its adoption will guarantee that the first stage of completing
the internal market will be achieved in this sector in accordance
with the legal commitments indicated at the beginning of this
expose .
