1.    Under Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3438 / 80 of 18 December 1980 ( 1 ),
exports of certain types of aluminium waste and scrap ( CCT 76.01 B ) were
made subject for the duration of 1981 to a system of surveillance involving
the issue of prior licences . in accordance with certain procedures .
      Exports of certain types of lead waste and scrap ( CCT 78.01 ) were
made subject to quota for the first half of 1981 only , pending the outcome
of the current examination of the situation on the market in this product .
                                                <                     *
At the end of this period , i.e. for the second half of 1981 , such exports '
were made subject to the same system of surveillance as that applicable
to aluminium products under Regulation ( EEC ) No 1792 / 81 of 30 June 1981 ( 2 )
      Exports of copper ash and residues and copper waste and scrap
( CCT ex 26.03 , 74.01 D ) were made subject to quota for 1981 .
2.    The Commission considers , in the light of the provisions of Regulation
No 2603 / 69 establishing common rules for exports ( 3 ) and the examination-
of the Community market in the products in question , that the arrangements
in force for 1981 , namely surveillance of exports of aluminium and lead
products and quotas for copper product.s ( with a slight increase in the
quota for waste should be renewed for 1982 .
      The Consultative Committee set up under Regulation 2603 / 69 was
consulted ; all the Member States present ( two were not represented ) stated
their agreement with this orientation .
      It is accordingly proposed that the Council adop the attached proposal
for a Regulation .
