intheagricultural sector ,those setoutbelow :

herdbook certifying purity of
breed
Inresponse torequests from theSwiss andAustrian authorities ,the
tariff quotas inquestion have been open since 1July 1970 andcover
theperiod from 1July ineach year to30June inthefollowing year .
These quotas were last opened byRegulations (EEC)Nos18^4/7^and /
lSk^/7kof15July 197k (OJNoL19^-of17July 197^)fortheperiod
from 1July 197^to30June 1975 .

-2-
3.Inanexchange ofletters with Austria dated 21July 1972 ,theCom­
munity undertook toincrease ,unilaterally,' thesize ofthefirst
tariff quota setoutabove from 20000 fb30000head and tolower the
quota duty from 6%toh%.
k.Inorder tomeet Community obligations ,itistherefore necessary
toadopt Begulations ontheopening ,allocation andadministration of
theCommunity tariff quotas ,fortheperiod from 1July 1975to
30June 1976 . .
This istheobject oftheproposals annexed hereto .
5'Asregards theallocation ofthetariff quotas and ,more especially ,
thefixing ofinitial shares ,itshould benoted that ,asinthe case
ofprevious quota periods ,this hasbeen based largely entheestimates
presented bytheMember States ,since specialized ,complete statistical
date arenotavailable ,andhastaken into account thenecessity of
meeting thepossible future needs ofthenewMember -States .
Theproposal foraRegulation submitted totheCouncil concerning the
first tariff quota of30000head ofcattle setoutabove provides
forthefixing ofafirst part tobeallocated among Germany ,France ,
Italy ,Ireland andtheUnited Kingdom ,theonly Member States which
have regions suitable forbreeding this kind ofcattle ,inproportion
totheir expected requirements .The remainder constitutes aCommunity
reserve which maybedrawn uponnotonly bytheabove-mentioned
Member States ,butalso ,ifnecessary ,bytheBenelux countries and
byDenmark .Inorder tomeet anyneeds which mayarise inthe
latter Member States ^theCommunity reserve ,which isusually fixed
at30%ofthetotal quota ,hasbeen increased to40%•
6.Theproposed administration ofthesecond tariff quota of5000head
ofcattle setoutabove differs from that proposed inSection5
only inasmuch as^hefirst part constitutes 70%ofthequota andthe
Community reserve 30 totake account both ofthelarge quantities
which canbeexpected ,already now ,tobecounted against theinitial
•• •

Italian share and theneed tocover anyneeds which may arise inthe
Benelux countries and inDenmark .
7.Asregards thetariff duty tobeapplied ,theposition isdifferent
intheCommunity asoriginally constituted and inthenewMember
States .For theoriginal Member States the duty istobefixed at
k%.AsforthenewMember States ,inpursuance ofArticle ,59»the
national tariffs ofthenewMember States are tobealigned onthe
Common Customs Tariff byannual 20%stages beginning in1973 -
except inthecourse ofapplying paragraph 4oftheabove-mentioned
article -that is,forbeef andveal products ,around 1April each
year ,atthestart ofeach marketing year .
8.Theinterpretation tobegiven tothephrase "notintended for
slaughter "wasthesubject ofanexchange ofviews during 197^*
Itwas apparent from those discussions that ,inthe case ofanimals
whose importation wassubject tosubmission ofabreeding certificate
(certificate ofpedigree orofregistration intheherdbook ),checking
thepurpose for which' theanimals areinfact used would bepointless
inview ,inparticular ,ofthehigh price ofsuch animals .Assuming
that such acertificate isnot 'required ,aperiod offour months -
from thedayofimportation would appear theminimum period after
which imported animals could beconsidered not tobeintended for
slaughter .'This solution hasbeen adopted -bytheCouncil inan
experimental capacity fortheperiod from 1July 197^to30June.l975 »
Providing thenewaspects arise ,theCouncil proposes this solution
fortheComing quota period also . •-'•
9.There isageneral problem ofthetariff duties tobeapplied ,
because ofthe .current negotiations concerning thereplacement
ofthepresent ,mixed taxation system "customs duty-lovy "bya
"uniform basic levy "proposed bytheCommission .
TheCommission isaware oftheproblem posed bydevelopments ofthe
situation andtherefore wishes tokeep open thepossibility of
later changing itsproposals inthelight ofanynecessities which
may arise -
