COMMISSION DECISION of 20 July 1994 approving an amendment to the Spanish programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in the Basque Country (94/484/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 of 21 March 1989 establishing a system of transitional aids to agricultural income (1), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89 of 19 December 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of transitional aids to agricultural income (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1110/91 (3), and in particular
Article 10
(3) thereof,
Whereas on 12 February 1992 the Spanish authorities notified the Commission of their intention to establish a programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in the Basque Country; whereas the Commission approved the programme in its Decision 92/343/EEC (4);
Whereas Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 provides that that Regulation is to apply until 31 March 1993 and that no programme of agricultural income aid is to be approved after that date; whereas, therefore, in accordance with Article 7 (1) of the same Regulation, after that date the Commission can only approve technical amendments to programmes of aid to agricultural income;
Whereas on 21 March 1994 the Spanish authorities notified the Commission that they had made some technical errors when drawing up the programme, and that the first period of application of the programme had shown there to be a risk that the consequences of these errors were a threat to its success; whereas as result of these errors and the need to correct them the Spanish authorities did not make income aid payments at the pace that had been planned;
Whereas the Spanish authorities have requested that the scheduling of budget allocations provided for by the Decision approving the programme should be altered without altering the total amount chargeable to the Community budget; whereas it seems appropriate to grant these technical requests since they are not of a nature to alter the substance of the Decision of 9 June 1992 approving the programme;
Whereas the Management Committee for Agricultural Income Aid was consulted on 19 July 1994 on the measure provided for in this Decision;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee was consulted on 19 July 1994 on the maximum amounts that can be charged to the Community budget each year under the programme approved,

The programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in the Basque Country notified to the Commission by the Spanish authorities on 12 February 1992, as amended by the communication of 21 March 1994, is hereby approved.
Article 2
The maximum amounts that may be charged to the Community budget each year under this Decision are as follows:

Council Regulation (EC) No 1149/2002
of 27 June 2002
opening an autonomous quota for imports of high-quality beef
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In view of the Community's interest in developing harmonious trade relations with third countries, provision should be made for opening, as an autonomous measure, a Community import tariff quota of 1000 tonnes of high-quality fresh, chilled or frozen beef.
(2) In spite of the difficulties experienced in 2001, the beef market is now on the way to becoming more stable. Demand of consumers in the Community is increasing, especially for high-quality beef. An additional reduced-tariff-quota for high-quality beef would satisfy at the same time the consumer interests as well as supplier interests. It would not have a significant impact on the total volume of beef imports into the Community.
(3) All operators concerned in the Community should be offered equal and continuous access to that quota. It is also necessary to insure appropriate monitoring. To this end, the utilisation of the quota should be based on the presentation of a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the type and origin of the products.
(4) Under Article 32 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), tariff quotas for the products covered by this Regulation are to be administered by the Commission in accordance with detailed rules adopted under the procedure laid down in Article 43 of the said Regulation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. An annual Community import tariff quota of 1000 tonnes, expressed in product weight, of high-quality fresh, chilled or frozen beef falling within positions 0201 30 00 and 0202 30 90 of the Common Customs Tariff is opened.
2. The applicable duty for the quota shall be 20 % ad valorem.
3. The quota year shall run from 1 July to 30 June.
Article 2
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, shall include provisions making the utilisation of the quota referred to in Article 1 subject to the presentation of a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the type and origin of the products.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
