COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3379/89
of 6 November 1989
increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota opened for 1989 for newsprint
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, for newsprint, the Community has reached an agreement which provides in particular for the opening of a Community tariff quota of 650 000 tonnes, of which 600 000 tonnes are reserved, until 30 November of each year, exclusively for products from Canada, in accordance with Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; whereas this agreement provides equally for the obligation to increase, by 5 %, that part of the quota reserved for imports from Canada, in the event that that part is used up before the end of a given period of one year; whereas the quota of 650 000 tonnes was opened for 1989 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 4101/88 (1);
Whereas the economic data at present available give rise to the belief that the requirements for importing newsprint from Canada could reach a level higher than the said volume of 600 000 tonnes; whereas the volume of that part of quota reserved for these imports should be increased, therefore, by 30 000 tonnes,
