Regulation ( EEC) No 2931 / 76 of 29 November 1976 ( 1 ) opened for
1977 for newsprint a Community tariff quota which was subject to
review in the course of the year . The initial quantity was
2 311 000 mt .
The revision was done at a meeting of the "Economic Tariff Problems "
group on 27 September 1977 where it seemed that the supplementary
needs which have appeared in certain Member States were 100 000 metric
tons .
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 .

5HE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and in particular Articles 28 and 113 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal of the Commission ,
Whereas , by Regulation (EEC ) N o 2931 /76 ( l ), 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 2 311 000 tonnes ; whereas , by the same Regulation , the
benefit of the tariff quota in question was ex-tended to certain types of
paper which , apart from the criterion of watermarks , corresponds 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 1977 suggests that the
additional imports from non-member countries required by the Community
will amount to 100 000 tonnes ; whereas the size of the quota should be
increased 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 increase Bhould be added to the Community reserve set up by the
above Regulation ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
