                      EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.    By means of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1449 /87 of 24 May 1987 ( 1 ) the Council
      opened for the second half of 1987 an autonomous duty-free tariff quota
      for ferrophosphorus containing 15 X or more by weight of phosphorus
      proper to subheading ex 28.55 A of the common customs tariff and
      intended for the manufacture of refined phosphoric iron or steel .
      The initial volume of the quota was fixed at 13 000 tonnes .
2.    Following a request introduced by the Grand Duclyof Luxembourg , the
      Commission took the opportunity to consider an increase in the volume
      of this quota to cover the supplementary needs which materialized in
      certain Member States .   A proposal to increase this quota by 24 000 tonnes
      without disturbing the Community market could receive the unanimous
      agreement of Member States .
      The Commission proposes therefore to increase by this quantity the volume
      of the quota in question , and after the assignation of 4 800 tonnes to
      the Community reserve , the balance will be divided proportionately between
      Member States which have established supplementary needs .

                                          COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
      increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota opened for the
        2nd part of 1987 for certain ferrophosphoru s falling within sub ¬
           heading ex 28.55 A of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community
and in particular article 28 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas , by Regulation ( EEC ) No 1449 / 87 ( 1 ), the Council opened , for
the 2nd half of 1987 , and allocated among the Member States ,
a duty-free Community tariff quota for certain ferrophosphoru s
falling within subheading ex 28.55 A of the Common Customs Tariff
and the volume of which was initially fixed at 13 000 tonnes ;
 Whereas it can be estimated, from the economic data now
 available on consumption, production and imports benefi¬
 ting from other preferential tariff arrangements, that
 immediate Community requirements of imports from
 third countries for products of this kind could, during the quota period
                 reach levels higher than the volume laid
 down by Regulation (EEC) No 1449 / 37 ; whereas in order
 not to disturb the equilibrium of the market for this
 product and to ensure parallel development in sales of
 Community production and satisfactory security of
 supplies to the user industries, it is appropriate to provide
 for an increase in volume by a quantity corresponding to
 the needs of user industries until the end of the current
 year, that is to say, to24 000 tonnes ;
 Whereas, it is appropriate to divide into two instalments
 the volume of the increase, the first instalment being allo¬
 cated among certain Member States in proportion to their

   foreseeable needs, and the second held as a Community
   reserve to cover possible additional requirements,
   HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                           A rticle 1
   The volume of the Community tariff quota opened bv
    Regulation ( EEC ) Mo 1449 / 37 for f er roohosohores containg 15 %
    or more by weight of ferrophosphorus , falling within subheading
    28.55 A of the Common Customs Tariif , intended for the
   manufacture of refined phosphoric iron or steel , is increased
    from 13 000 to 37 000 tonnes .
                                Article 2
   1 . A first tranche of the supplementary amount provided by article
         1 , amounting to 19 200 tonnes is divided between certain Member
         States as follows :              ( in tonnes )
           Benelux                          19 035
           Spain                                165
   2.      The second tranche of 4 800 tonnes shall constitute the
           reserve .      The reserve provided by article 2 , paragraph 2 ,
           of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1449 / 87 is therefore raised from
           2 570 to 7 370 tonnes .
