                 eels falling within subheading No ex 03.01 A II

 ---pagebreak---                                   EXPLANATORY MEIORATOUM
1 . By Council Regulation (EEC ) No 2727/72 of 19 December 1972 (CJ Ho L 291
    of 28 December 1972 ) the Council opened autonomously and allocated among
    the Member States a Community tariff quota for 1973 fcr 5 300 metric
    tons of certain eels falling within subiioading   No ex 03-01 A II of the
    Common Customs Tariff .
2 . There is Community production of these eels , which is , however , insufficient
    to meet Community needs , particularly those of the processing industry
    ( smoking and canning). A very conservative estimate made at the end of
    1972 gave import requirements from third countries as amounting to
    5 300 metric tons fcr 1973 » allowing for the appreciable increase in
    Community production anticipated in 1973 .
3 . However , it has meanwhile become apparent that !
    - production will probably not increase this year to the desired extent j
       and
    - total Community requirements in these products have increased above
       those of last year .
    As a result , the Benelux countries and Germany will soon prematurely
    exhaust both the shares attributed to them and the Community reserve .
    These Member States have therefore requested that their shares be in­
    creased .
4 . The draft Regulation annexed hereto is in response to those requests .
    Novertheless , the new quota also take3 account of the need to avoid
    jeopardizing, in any way the efforts mada to extend Community production .

THE COUrOIL OP THS EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
end in particular Article 43 thereof ;
                        • .    .                    .                         V J
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission !
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliaments
                                        »
Whereas , "by Council Regulation No 2727/72 of 19 December 1972 , the Council
or>ened and allocated among the Member States a Community Tariff quota for
1373 fir 5 300 metric tons of fresh eels (live or dead ), chilled or frozen ,
whether intended for preservation in brine or for the industrial manufacture
of products falling within heading 16 . 04 , falling - subject to conditions
to be determined by the . competent authorities - within' subheading
ex 03 . 01 A IT of the Common Customs Tariff ?
Whereas in fixing the quota at 5 300 metric tons , account was taken of the
fact thai Cos sanity production yns cx^ecxod to increase considerably in
19735 whereas it has become app^rorc that there has thus far been only a
slight increase and that total Cnnssnnity requirements in the products in
question are higher than was originally estimated ! whereas further require­
ments amounting to some 2 800 me trio tons are not covered by Community
production ! whereas it therefore seems desirable to increase the initial
quota to 8 100 metric tons 5 whereas such an increase would not jeopardize
the efforts being made to extend Community productions
