Regulation ( EEC) No 2608/ 77o£ 21 November 1977 ( 1 ) opened for
 1978 a Community tariff quota for newsprint , which was . subject to
review in the course of the year .   The initial quantity was
2 300 000 mt .
The revision was done at a meeting of the " Economic Tariff Problems "
group on 22 September 1978' where it seemed that the supplementary
needs which have appeared in certain Member States were 1^0 000^ metric
tons , account being taken of the returns to the reserve effected or
 expected, as well as stocks held in the Community during the year .
This proposition is intended to introduce the increase , equal to the
supplementary needs , by means of increasing the Community reserve to
which all Member States which have used up their initial share have
access *

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and in partioular Artioles 28 and 113 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commi ssion .
Whereas , by Regulation (EEC ) NO 2608/ 77 ( 1 ), the Council opened and allocated
among the Member States , for newsprint falling within subheading 48.01 A of
the Common Customs Tariff , a duty-free Community tariff quota , the amount of
which was fixed at 2 300 000 tonnes ; whereas , by the same Regulation , the
 tariff quota in question was extended to include certain other types of
paper which , apart from the oriterion of watermarks , correspond      to the
definition of newsprint given in the Additional Note to Chapter 48 of the
Common Customs Tariff ;
Whereas the most recent data on this product for 197® suggest that the
additional imports from non-member oountries required by the Community
will amount to 130 000 tonnes ; whereas the size of the quota should be
inoreased by this amount to take account of the requirements noted ; whereas ,
in order to safeguard the Community character of the tariff quota in question ,
the proposed inorease should bo added to the Community reserve set up by the
above Regulation ,
