THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1023/70 of 25 May 1970 establishing a common procedure for administering quantitative quotas (1), and in particular Articles 2 and 11 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2227/93 (2) established a global quantitative Community quota of 60 000 tonnes for imports of unwrought aluminium falling within CN codes 7601 10 00 and 7601 20 10 originating in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus,  Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania,
Whereas, in Regulation (EEC) No 2299/93 (3), the Commission distributed this quota among the Member States on the basis of traditional trade flows by subdividing it into two allocations, one of 51 000 tonnes (distributed on the adoption of the  abovementioned Regulation) and the other of 9 000 tonnes which is the Community reserve to be allocated at a later date, to meet demand from those who are not traditional importers;
Whereas the problems faced by the processing industry in some Member States in meeting specific demand emerged during the distribution of the first allocation; whereas the initial allocation will have to be altered to take account of this factor;
Whereas the Community reserve should be allocated among Member States according to the method chosen for the first allocation of the Community quota in question pursuant to Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2299/93;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Quota Administration Committee established by Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1023/70,
