COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3951/87
of 21 December 1987
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 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 Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under Regulation (EEC) No 4052/86 (4), exports of aluminium and lead waste and scrap were made subject, for 1987, 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 these arrangements expire on 31 December 1987; whereas it is advisable to retain them for 1988 with a view to following closely the trend of exports of the products concerned;
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 on the world copper market; whereas the quota system in force in 1987 under Regulation (EEC) No 4052/86 should, therefore, be maintained in 1988 for exports of copper ash and residues and copper waste and scrap;
Whereas the estimate of requirements is a satisfactory criterion for the allocation of quotas among third countries;
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 Commission set up by Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 has been consulted,
