COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3373/91 of 18 November 1991 increasing the volume of the Community tariff quotas opened by Regulations (EEC) No 3402/90 and (EEC) No 3913/90 in respect of certain industrial products

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 Regulations (EEC) No 3402/90 (1) and (EEC) No 3913/90 (2) opened Community tariff quotas at zero duty in respect of certain industrial products for the period from 1 January to 31 December 1991;

Whereas, on the basis of the latest statistics concerning these products for the current year, it is estimated that the Community's immediate additional requirements for imports from non-member countries are higher than those initially provided for; whereas the quota volumes should be increased to cover those requirements,
