COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3680/85
of 20 December 1985
on export arrangements for certain types of non-ferrous metal waste and scrap
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 396 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 of 20 December 1969 establishing common rules for exports (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1934/82 (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1023/70 of 25 May 1970 establishing a common procedure for administering quantitative quotas (3), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas under Regulation (EEC) No 3629/84 (4) exports of aluminium and lead waste and scrap were made subject, for 1985, to production of a prior export licence to be issued by the appropriate authorities of the Member States according to procedures to be laid down; whereas this arrangement expires on 31 December 1985; whereas it is advisable to retain it for 1986 with a view to following closely the evolution of the products concerned;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 45 of the Act of Accession, exports to Spain from the Community of Ten of copper ash and residues and copper waste and scrap must be restricted for a transitional period;
Whereas the estimate of requirements is a satisfactory criterion for the allocation of the said quotas;
Whereas the provisions relating to the monitoring of intra-Community trade laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 223/77 of 22 December 1976 on provisions for the implementation of the Community transit procedure and for certain simplifications of that procedure (5) apply only if the measures introducing export restrictions provide for their application;
Whereas the Committee set up by Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 has been consulted;
Whereas Community refiners are continuing to experience supply difficulties over the whole spectrum of copper materials; whereas these difficulties derive in particular from the current imbalance of tariff and non-tariff measures in the world copper market; whereas the quota system in force in 1985 under Regulation (EEC) No 3629/84 should, therefore, be maintained in 1986 for export of copper ash and residues and copper waste and scraps;
Whereas pursuant to Article 2 (3) of the Treaty of Accession of Spain and Portugal the institutions of the Community may adopt before accession the measures referred to in Article 396 of the Act, such measures entering into force subject to and on the date of entry into force of that Treaty,
