Whereas, on the basis of the most recent data on this product for 1984, it is estimated that the additional imports from third countries required by the Community in the short term amount to 70 000 tonnes; whereas the size of the quota should be increased by this quantity to take account of the requirements noted; 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 the Member States on a pro rata basis according to their estimated requirements for imports originating in third countries,
The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 3684/83 for newsprint falling within subheading 48.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff is hereby increased from 500 000 to 570 000 tonnes.
