COMMISSION DECISION of 30 September 1994 allocating the remainder of the import quota for live animals of the bovine species weighing between 160 and 300 kilograms provided for in the Europe Agreements concluded by the Communities with the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Hungary and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic (94/670/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3491/93 of 13 December 1993 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) 3492/93 of 13 December 1993 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, of the other part (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 520/92 of 27 February 1992 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of the other part (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2235/93 (4), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 (6) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 358/94 of 17 February 1994 opening for 1994 and laying down detailed rules for the application of an import quota for live bovine animals weighing between 160 and 300 kilograms, originating in and coming from the Republic of Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic (5), the Member States have notified the Commission that import licences have not been issued in respect of 146 head;

Whereas, when notifying the Commission of the quantities applied for pursuant to Article 3 (3) of that Regulation, the French authorities omitted to forward figures concerning several applications;

Whereas, since the operators concerned are not responsible for the mistakes made and with a view to ensuring the proper administration of this Community import quota, the remaining quantities should be allocated to the operators whose applications were not notified; whereas, since the remaining quantities are less than the quantities applied for, the latter should be reduced proportionately;

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 358/94 applies to licences issued under this Decision;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1
