COMMISSION 
Proposal for a Council Regulation opening a Community tariff quota for frozen buffalo meat 
falling within subheading 0202 30 90 of the combined nomenclature (1988) 
COM(87) 464 final 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 7 October 1987) 
(87/C 286/09) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 
113 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas the Community has undertaken, within the 
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to 
open an annual Community tariff quota at a rate of duty 
of 20 % for 2 250 tonnes of frozen buffalo meat falling 
within subheading 0202 30 90 of the combined 
nomenclature; whereas this quota should therefore be 
opened for 1987; whereas, under Article 282 of the 1985 
Act of Accession, the Portuguese Republic is authorized 
to postpone until the beginning of the second stage the 
progressive application to imports of preferences 
granted, unilaterally or by agreement, by the Community 
to certain third countries; 
Whereas there should be a guarantee of equal and 
continuing access by all interested traders within the 
Community to the said quota and of uninterrupted 
application of the rate laid down for that quota, to all 
imports of the product in question, in all the Member 
States, up to the limit of the volume of the quota; 
whereas it seems appropriate, to this end, to set up a 
system of use of the Community tariff quota, based on 
the presentation of a certificate of authenticity 
guaranteeing the nature of the product, where it is 
imported from and its origin; Whereas the detailed rules to implement these provisions 
should be drawn up in accordance with the procedure 
laid down in Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of 
the market in beef and veal (*), as last amended by Regu­
lation (EEC) No 467/87 (2), 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. A Community tariff quota for frozen buffalo meat 
falling within subheading 0202 30 90 of the combined 
nomenclature shall be opened for 1988. 
The total volume of this quota shall be 2 250 tonnes. 
2. Under this quota the applicable duty of the 
Common Customs Tariff shall be fixed at 20 %. 
Article 2 
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall 
be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down 
in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, and in 
particular: 
(a) provisions to guarantee the nature of product, where 
it is coming from and its origin; 
(b) provisions concerning recognition of the document 
to enable verification of the guarantee referred to in 
(a). 
Article 3 
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1988. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and 
directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Economic Community, and in particular Articles 100 and 
213 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas experience in implementing Council Directive 
83/189/EEC (') has shown that certain amendments 
would be appropriate in order to increase its 
effectiveness as an instrument intended to facilitate the 
free movement of goods within the Community by 
preventing the creation of new barriers to trade; 
Whereas the Standing Committee set up pursuant to 
Article 5 of Directive 83/189/EEC should be consulted 
on the draft standardization requests referred to in 
Article 6 (3) of that Directive; 
Whereas the introduction of national measures must not 
be allowed to compromise the adoption by the Council 
of Commission proposals in the same field; whereas, to 
this end, it is necessary to provide for a 12 month

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES; 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 
1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes ('), as last 
amended by Directive 87/374/EEC (2), provides that in 
principle, with effect from certain dates, Member States 
may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence 
of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed 
potatoes harvested within the Community and complying 
with that Directive; 
Whereas, however, since work to establish Community 
equivalence for all the third countries concerned had not 
been completed, Article 15 (2a) of that Directive 
permitted Member States to extend to 31 March 1987, the period of validity of equivalence which they had 
already determined in respect of certain countries not 
covered by the Community equivalences; 
Whereas the said work is still incomplete and the said 
final date should be replaced by a later date; 
Whereas the present text of Article 15 (2a) of the 
Directive may lead to uncertainty and should therefore 
be simplified, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: 
Article 1 
In Article 15 (2a) of Directive 66/403/EEC:

Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) laying down general rules for incorporation 
of cereals in feed 
(88/C 139/09) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 
29 October 1975 on the common organization of the 
market in cereals (*); as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No ..., and in particular Article llb(3) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas the premium for incorporation provided for in 
Article llb(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 is granted 
only in respect of cereals used in addition to those used in a 
reference period; whereas that reference period must be as 
close as possible to the first marketing year of application 
of the measure in question; whereas, however, the trend in 
prices of products competing with cereals on the world 
market in the 1987/1988 marketing year does not enable 
account to be taken of that marketing year only, a feature 
of which is a substantial fall in the use of cereals in feed; 
whereas that trend should be moderated by taking account 
of the 1985/1986 and 1986/1987 marketing years also; 
Whereas, moreover, as the aim of the premium for 
incorporation is to ensure additional use of cereals, it will 
only be achieved if the premium is fixed at a level sufficient 
to ensure the competitiveness of cereals compared with 
competing products, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. The premium provided for in Article llb(2) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 shall be granted for 
additional quantities of cereals used by operators in feed. 2. Entitlement to the premium shall be established when 
operators prove, in accordance with the detailed rules laid 
down pursuant to Article llb(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 
2727/75, to the satisfaction of the competent authority that 
they have used in a marketing year a greater quantity of 
cereals than the average quantities used in the 1985/1986, 
1986/1987 and 1987/1988 marketing years. 
Article 2 
The premium shall be fixed in accordance with the 
procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 
2727/75 at a level ensuring the competitiveness of cereals 
with competing products. 
Article 3 
The premium for a marketing year shall be converted into 
national currency at the agricultural conversion rate in 
force on the first day of that marketing year. 
Article 4 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities.
