153 K o h l c n b e r i c h t . In March 1994 the quota for the month of April recorded thatelbo Bild wio in the previous months. Mainly the territories of Ostrava and Kladno were used. In Ostravious Variety Coal only l5 ooo Tonnon were made available by the coal industry. On the other hand, the requirements of the virtuous groups of 55 ooo tonnes (only the gas and waterworks group fordorte l6 ooo tons of ostravious coal) were met. In this area considerable reductions have to be made, whereas the coal from the Carvinian Re-fours has been allocated to the economic groups reduced in these areas. In Kladnoor Griesskohle the picture was similar. The economic groups extended for their firns twice the available stehonden quantity. Also the Brüx-Falkenau district was used sohr. A compensation was found by the fact that we carried out the virtuous groups, in which reductions had to be made in these polluted areas, in less polluted Rcvicren, such as Pilsen, Rakonitz, South Moravia allotments. Operation disruptions were not reported by any economic group. As the economic groups inform us, the coal allocations would be quite sufficient for a large part of the firms; however, there is a large shortage of wagons in the deliveries, so that the metal industry, for example, was only 6o to 7o of the quantities allocated for April. Our efforts are now being made to remove this deficiency as far as possible, and in spite of the fundamental rejection of the post-delivery of residues from previous months, in the most urgent cases, of the coal-mining site, as laid down in its new order 2.
