1. By its Regulation (EEC ) No 2888 / 75 of 29 October 1975 , the Council
   opened and allocated among the Member States , for 1976 , a Community
   tariff quota for certain eels falling within subheading ex 03.01 A II
   of the Common Customs Tariff .   The overall initial amount was fixed
   at 5 700 metric tons on the basis of estimates calculated towards the
   end of 1975 .
2. At the request of the German authorities , the eel market situation and
   import requirements from non-Member countries were re-examined at a
   meeting of the Working Party on Tariff Economy held on 10 June 1976 ,
   on the basis of the usual forecasts for the second half of 1976 provided
   by the Member States .
3. Data forecasts supplied by Member States estimate additional requirements
   at approximately 1 500 metric tons until the end of 1976 .
4. As regards the subdivision of the above–mentioned amount of 1 500 tons
   among the Member States , a first tranche of 1 340 tons was allocated among
   them and the balance , amounting to 160 tons , was put into the reserve set
   up at the beginning of the year by the initial Regulation .
