COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3372/91  of 18 November 1991  increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota opened for 1991 for ferro-chromium containing more than 6 % by weight of carbon
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3402/90 (1) and (EEC) No 2027/91 (2) opened, for 1991, a zero-duty Community tariff quota for ferro-chromium containing more than 6 % by weight of carbon for which the quota volume was fixed provisionally at 425 000  tonnes;
Whereas it can be estimated from the economic data now available that immediate Community requirements for imports of this product from non-member countries could during the current year reach levels higher than the volume laid down by the  abovementioned Regulations; whereas, in order not to upset the balance of the market for this product and to ensure both an outlet for Community production and sufficiently secure supplies for user industries, the quota volume should be increased by a  quantity corresponding to the needs of user industries until the end of the year, namely, by 120 000 tonnes,
