7.Theinterpretation tobegiven tothephrase not intended for
slaughter "was thesubject ofanexchange ofviews during 1974 .
Itwasapparent from those discussions that ,inthecase ofanimals
whose importation wassubject tosubmission ofabreeding certificate
(certificate ofpedigree orofregistration in^the herdbook ),checking
thepurpose forwhich theanimals are infact used would bepointless
inview ,inparticular ,ofthehigh price ofsuch animals .Assuming
that such acertif irate isnotrequired ,aperiod ofhmonths from
thedayofimportation would appear liheminimum period after which
imported animals could beconsidered not tobeintended forslaughter .
This solution wasadopted bytheCouncil asonexperiment forthe
period from I.luly 1974 to30June 1975 andwas then adopted once more
forthefollowing tariff periods .
