1. Under its external relations policy , the Community reached an agreement
   providing for the annual opening for a duty-free Community tariff quota
   for newsprint of subheading 48.01A of the Common Customs Tariff . The
   volune of this quota , amounting to 650 000 tonnes , is divided into
   two parts : the first , 600 000 tonnes , is assignated to products coming
   from Canada , and the second, 50 000 tonnes , to products coming from
   other non-member countries .
   The agreement provides also for the necessity of increasing by 5%
   that part of the quota reserved for imports from Canada , if it should
   be used up before the end of a given period of one year .
2. From the economic data , at present available , it is believed that
   the volune of 600 000 tonnes might not satisfy Community needs for
   products of this type .
   The attached proposal aims at increasing the quota , in compliance with
   the obligations undertaken.
                                                                             I

                                           of
                increasing the volune of the Community tariff quota
                             opened for 1988 for newsprint
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and in particular Article 113 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas , for newsprint , the Community has reached an agreement which
provides in particular for the opening of a Community tariff quota of
650 000 tonnes , of which 600 000 tonnes are reserved, until 30 November
of each year , exclusively for products from Canada , in accordance with
Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ; whereas this
agreement provides equally , for the obligation to increase , by 51, that
part of the quota       reserved for imports from Canada , in the event that
that part is used       up before the end of a - given period of one year ;
whereas the quota       of 650 000 tonnes was opened for 1988 by Regulation
( EEC ) No . 4103 / 87  of 22 December 1987 ( 1 );
Whereas the economic data , at present available , give rise to the belief
that the requirements for importing newsprint from Canada could reach a
level higher than the said volume of 600 000 tonnes ; whereas the volume
of that part of quota reserved for these imports should be increased,
therefore , by 30 000 tonnes ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                        Article 1
1.      The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation ( EEC )
        No . 4103 / 87 for newsprint from Canada shall be increased from
        600 000 tonnes to 630 000 tonnes .
2.      This increase of 30 000 tonnes shall be added to the reserve provided
        for in Article 3 ( 2 ) of the said Regulation . Thus the reserve shall
        be increased from 240 000 tonnes to 270 000 tonnes .
