THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1162/83 (1), opened and allocated among the Member States, for the period 1 July 1983 to 30 June 1984, a duty-free Community tariff quota for certain eels falling within subheading ex 03.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff, the amount of which was fixed at 4 500 tonnes;
Whereas, on the basis of the most recent data on this product for the period in question, it is estimated that the additional imports from third countries required by the Community currently amount to 750 tonnes; whereas the size of the tariff quota should as a result be increased; whereas, in order to safeguard the Community character of the tariff quota in question, part of the volume of the proposed increase should be allocated to the Community reserve, the balance being allocated among certain Member States on a pro rata basis according to their foreseeable requirements for imports originating in third countries,
