Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
opening and providing for the administration of a Community 
tariff quota for bulls, cows and heifers, other than those 
intended for slaughter, of certain Alpine breeds 
(presented by the Commission) 
z 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. At the multilateral GATT negotiations, the European Economic 
Community undertook to open certain annual Community quotas 
including, in the agricultural sector, those set out below: 
OCT heading Description of goods volume Quota 
ex 01.02 All Cows and heifers, not intended for 
slaughter, of the following mountain 
breeds; grey, brown, yellow and 
mottled Simnental breed and Pinzgau 
breed (conditions to be determined 
by the competent authorities of the 
Member State of destination) 20 000 head 6% 
ex 01.02 A II Bulls, cows and heifers, not intended 
for slaughter, of the following breeds; 
mottled Simnental breed and Schwyz and 
Fribourg breeds. If they are to come 
within the quota, animals of the breeds 
in question must satisfy the following 
requirements: 
-bulls: pedigree 
-female animals: pedigree or certificate 
of registration in herdbook certifying 
purity of breed. 5 000 head 4% 
2. The tariff quotas in question were first opened on 1 July 1970 in 
response to requests from the Swiss and Austrian authorities, and 
cover the period from 1 July in each year to 30 June in the following 
year. 
3 
3. In an exchange of letters with Austria dated 21 July 1972, the 
Community undertook unilaterally to increase the size of the first 
tariff quota set out above from 20 00 to 30 000 head and to lower the 
quota duty from 6% to 4%. The quota volume was again unilaterally 
increased to 38 000 head from the end of 1977. And under an agreement 
in the form of exchange of letters dated 14 July 1986 which was 
adopted by the council's Decision of 15 September 1986 (0J No L 328 
of 22 November 1986 p. 57), the volume of this tariff quota was once 
more raised to 42 600 head, as from 1 July 1986. 
These quotas were opened most recently by Regulations (EEC) Nos 
1950/92 and 1951/92 of 13 July 1992 (OJ No L 197 of 16.7.1992), for 
the period from 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993. 
4. In order to meet community obligations, it is therefore necessary to 
adopt Regulations on the opening and administration of the Community 
tariff quotas, for the period from 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994. 
5. As with other Community tariff quotas, the proposal does not provide 
for the quota-volumes to be divided up between Member States but 
offers them the opportunity of drawing from the quota-voiumes the 
necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports. 
6. Taking into account aspects peculiar to the trade in these animals, 
the Commission proposes the extension of the system of administration 
of these quotas as applied during the period 1.7.91 to 30.6.92. 
y 
7. The interpretation to be given to the phrase "not intended for 
slaughter" has been subject of exchanges of views since 1974. 
It had been apparent from the discussions that, in the case of 
animals whose importation was subject to submission of a breeding 
certificate (certificate of pedigree or of registration in the 
herdbook), checking the purpose for which the animals are in fact 
used would be pointless in view of the high price of such animals. 
Where such a certificate is not required, a period of 4 months from 
the day of importation would appear the minimum period after which 
imported animals could be considered not to be intended for 
slaughter. This solution was adopted by the Council on an 
experimental basis for the period from 1 July 1974 to 30 June 1975 
and then carried over for the following tariff periods. 
At discussions at Council level in 1978 and 1979 it was decided with 
the agreement of the Swiss authorities to extend the checks on non-
slaughter to animals imported with the abovementioned breeding 
certificate under the second quota of 5 000 head. 
This is the purpose of the attached proposal. 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 
of /93 
opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for 
heifers and cows, other than those intended for slaughter, of certain mountain 
breeds S 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas the European Economic Community undertook, 
within the framework of the General Agreement on 
Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to open an annual Community 
tariff quota of 20 000 head at a duty of 6 % for heifers 
and cows, other than those intended for slaughter, of 
certain mountain breeds ; whereas, in an exchange of 
letters with Austria dated 21 July 1972, the Community 
undertook unilaterally to increase the size of the tariff 
quota from 20 000 to 30 000 head and to lower the quota 
duty from 6 % to 4 % ; whereas, subsequently, this quota 
was increased unilaterally to 38 000 head ; whereas 
according to the Agreement in the form of an exchange 
of letters between the European Economic Community 
and the Republic of Austria concerning agriculture of 14 
July 1986, which was approved by Decision 86/555/ 
EEC('), the volume of this tariff quota was raised to 
42 600 head as from 1 July 1986 ; whereas the abovemen-
tioned tariff quota should therefore be opened for the 
period 1 July 199 3 to 30 June 1994 at a duty of 4 % for a 
quantity of 42 600 head; whereas a check should be carried out to ascertain that the imported animals have 
not been slaughtered within a certain period ; 
Whereas it is, in particular, necessary to ensure equal and 
continuous access for all Community importers to the 
abovementioned quota, and the uninterrupted application 
of the quota duties, to all imports of the animals in ques­
tion until the quota is exhausted ; 
Whereas the decision for the opening, in 
the execution of its international 
obligations, of tariff quotas should be 
taken by the Community; whereas, to 
ensure the efficiency of a common 
administration of these quotas, there is 
no reasonable obstacle to authorising 
the Member States to draw from the 
quota-volumes the necessary quantities 
corresponding to actual imports; whereas 
this method of administration requires 
close cooperation between the Member 
States and the Commission and the latter 
must in particular be able to monitor 
the rate at which the quotas are used up 
and inform the Member States 
accordingly; 
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of 
the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg 
are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux 
Economic Union, any measure concerning the adminis­
tration of the quantities levied by that economic union 
may be carried out by any one of its members, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION 
Article 1 
1. From 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994, the duty appli­
cable to the import into the Community of the animals 
designated hereafter shall be suspended at the level and 
within the limits of the Community tariff quota indicated.

be further divided into two parts. 
The first part, 80 % of the total, i.e. 34 080 head, shall be

proof of having imported animals of the breeds specified 
in the tariff quota in question during the previous three 
years. applicant, in the form, where necessary, of a percentage of 
the amount originally applied for, or of that applicant's 
previous imports. 
The second part, of 20 %, i.e. 8 520 head, shall be 
reserved either for importers who undertake, when 
making an application, to keep the imported cattle in 
premises of which they have the use or for importers who 
have been conducting business in live bovine animals for 
a period of at least one year and are listed in a public 
register of the Member State or who can provide proof, 
recognized by the competent authority, of such conduct.

importers pro rata, in proportion to the scale of their 
previous imports over the three years under consideration 
or to the quantities applied for if they are less than 
previous imports while the 8 520 head shall be assigned 
to applicants pro rata, in proportion to the entitlement 
applied for by the importers. In the latter case : 
(a) applications for quantities greater than 50 head shall 
be automatically reduced to that number ; 
(b) applications which would give rise to a certificate of 
participation covering a quantity of less than five head 
shall not be taken into account ; 
(c) quantities which have not been assigned, owing to the 
minimum five head limitation shall be assigned by 
drawing lots (with a figure of five head).

quota, accompanied, where appropriate, by proof of 
previous imports, shall be made to the competent authori­
