 ---pagebreak---                     EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Following receipt of a request fran the Belgian authorities , the
Commission services examined in conjunction with government
experts , the possibility of opening a duty-free tariff quota for
polyvinyl butyral , in order to counter the temporary inadequacy
of Canriunity production .
This examination indicated that the opening of a 2 000 tonnes
duty-free tariff quota for polyvinyl butyral , in the form of
powler , for the production of film for laminated safety glass ,
 for the period up to 31 December 1988 would receive unanimous
support fran Member States and would not disturb the Community
market for the product in question .
This is the purpose of this proposal .

     opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota
      for a certain polyvinyl butyral
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and in particular Article 28 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal of the Commission ,
Wu ereas the Community currently and temporarily depends on imports from third
countries for its supplies of polyvinyl butyral ;
Whereas it is in the Community 's interest to fully suspend the normal duty
applicable for the product in question , within a Community tariff quota of
appropriate volume ; whereas in order not to interfere with the prospects
for developing production of this product in the Community and at the same
time ensure an adequate supply to satisfy user industries , it is advisable
to limit the benefit of the tariff quota to a quantity of 2 000 tonnes
to open the auota for the period up to an including 31 December 1988 ;
      Whereas it is in particular necessary to allow all Commu¬
      nity importers equal and uninterrupted access to the
      quota and to ensure uninterrupted application of the rates
      laid down for that quota to all imports of the products
      concerned into all Member States until the quota has
      been used up ; whereas, in the present case, it seems advi¬
      sable not to allocate this quota among the Member States
      but to allow them to draw against the quota volume such
          quantities as they may need, under the conditions and
          according to the procedure specified in Article 1 (2) ;
          whereas this method of management requires close
          cooperation between the Member States and the Commis¬
          sion and the latter must, in particular, be able to monitor
          the rate at which the quota is being used up and inform
          the Member States thereof ;
          Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of
          the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
          are united within, and jointly represented by, the Benelux
          Economic Union, all transactions concerning the admi¬
          nistration of shares allocated to that economic union may
          be carried out by any one of its members ,
          HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :

            1 . From the date of entry into force of this Regulation and until 31 December
                1988 , the Customs duty applicable to imports of the product mentioned below
                shall be suspended at the level and within the limits of a Community

                                  the relevant provisions in the Act of Accession.
                                  2. If an importer indicates that he is about to import
                                  the product in question into a Member State and requests
                                  the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned
                                  shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corres¬
                                  ponding to these requirements to the extent that the avai¬
                                  lable balance of the reserve so permits.
                                  3.    The shares drawn pursuant to paragraph 2 ahall be
                                  valid until the end of the quota period.

                                     1.    Member Slates shall take all appropriate measures to
                                     ensure that they draw from the quota in accordance with
                                     Article 1 (2) in such a way that imports may be charged
                                     without interruption against their aggregate shares of the
                                     Community quota.
                                     2.    Each Member -State shall ensure that importers of
                                     the said goods have access to the quota so long as the
                                     residual balance of the quota volume so permits.
                                     3.    Membef States shall charge imports of the said
                                     goods against their drawings as and when the goods are
