I.    In the interest of a secure supply of copper , lead and aluminium at
competitive prices , the Community has for several years maintained export
quotas for the following categories of products :
      ex 26.03       Ash and residues of copper and copper alloys
      ex 74-01       Waste and scrap of copper and copper alloys
                     - resulting from the breaking-up of ships
                       registered in third countries or of
                       ammunition sold by the armed forces of
                       third countries
                     - other
         76.01 B     Aluminium waste and scrap
         78.01 B     Lead waste and scrap .
2.    On the 17 October 1975 » a. consultation took place , as provided by
Council Regulation no . 2603/69 , between the Commission's services and the
national experts in regards to the export arrangement for 1976 . At this
meeting, the Member States , in agreement with the Commission , recognised
that despite a certain improvement in the supply situation, it was necessary
to maintain in force export quotas , in order to forestall fresh supply
difficulties . In view of the uncertain future position , the Committee
envisaged a possible re-examination of the situation at the end of the
first half of 1976 .
3.    All members of the Committee expressed their support for the
establishment and the distribution of Community quantitative export quotas
for the products listed unter 1 , with the exception of lead waste and scrap .
4.    On the subject of Community quantitative export quotas for lead
waste and scrap (position 78»01 B of the CCT ), Committee members^, opinions
were divided : the German government pointed out that for 1976 additional
exports would be required to cover outward processing .
 ---pagebreak---       Certain delegations opposed the Germen request . The Commission
thinks , however, that in view of t]ie . improved supply situation an increase
in the quota is possible , and proposes therefore to raise the Community
quota to 1,600 tonnes ( less than 0,15 $ of total consumption of lead),
this quota to be distributed according to estimated needs .
5.    In order not to allow discussion on quotas for lead waste and scrap
to hold up the Council decision on other products , the Commission thought
it appropriate to submit to the Council two separate proposals , attached
hereto , which could if necessary be combined, if the Council finds itself
able to reach decision on the second of the Commission 's proposals within
the prescribed time .
