         1•   The Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic
         of Finland signed on 5 October 1973 provides for a nil-duty tariff quota
         to be opened each year during the period of tariff dismantling for imports
         into the United Kingdom of printing paper and writing paper containing
         mechanical wood pulp , excluding copying tissue (OCT heading No ex 48.01 E ),
         originating in Finland .    The 1974 quota was fixed on the basis of import
         statistics supplied by the United Kingdom .     These figures proved to be
         incorrect and it was necessary to adjust the quota' mentioned. This modifi­
          cation was the subject of an p-"~hange ~of letters' between the' European" Economic
    Community and Finland signed on 26 June 1974 t the text of which had been approved by
Council Regulation No 1503/74 of 18 June 1974 *
         2 . At this time , the attention of the Council was drawn to the necessity of
         adjusting the indicatdve~-ceiling for the same product provided for in
        Protocol No 1 to the Agreement and set in Council Regulation (EEC )
        No 3470/73 of 17 December 1973 , the size of the ceiling having been based
         on the same incorrect figures .
 In fact , when the Community was calculating the basic ceiling for those
        products during negotiation of the free-trade agreement , it increased
        the figure for average imports from Finland between 1963 and 1971 by
        14»3^«     Now that new figures have been supplied by the United Kingdom
        the average for I968-7I amounts the 362 789 t ,
        Recalculation, using the corrected figures , gives the following results :
 ---pagebreak---   Average imports , . 1968-71 *           *        362 789 t
  + 14.3% of 362 789 -t                   t         52 211 t
  Basic quantity for 1973 » as corrected t         415 000 t

  Finland . 1968-71                       *  ' -        30 t
                                                   414 970 t
  + 5% of 414 970 (annual increase )      :         20 743 t
  Ceiling for 1974 * as corrected         1        435 718 t

  indicated in Annex I in the ahovementioned Regulation be raised from
  362 219 to 435 718 -t . .

THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPE/IN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Comnunity ,
and in particular Article 113 thereof ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas an Agreement between the European Economic Community and the
Republic of Finland^ was signed in Brussels on 5 October 1973 ; whereas
the figures used to calculate the 1974. indicative ceiling provided for
in Protocol No 1 to that Agreement for certain types of printing paper
falling within subheading No ex 48.01 E of the Common Customs Tariff
were incorrect ;   whereas when that ceiling , recalculated using the
           figures which have since been forwarded to the Commission ,
amounts to 435 718 t ; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend the
 amount of ceiling I SF 5 indicated in Annex I of Regulation (EEC )
 No 3470/732 of 17 December 1973 ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATIONS
