Proposal for
V COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
of
laying down general rules forthesystem ofcompensatory amounts
for "beef and veal .
THE COUNCIL OFTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheAccession Treaty (1),andinparticular Article
62(1 )oftheActannexed thereto ,
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Whereas pursuant toArticle $0oftheActtheprovisions ofArticles 51
and 52apply totheguide prices inthe "beef andveal sector ;
Whereas Articles 51and52oftheActenable theprices forthenew
Member States tohefixed atalevel which mayhedifferent from the
level ofcommon prices ;whereas pursuant toArticle 55oftheActthe
differences inprice levels are tobecompensated for "byasystem of
compensatory amount s;
Whereas thecompensatory amounts applicable intrade between the
Community asoriginally constituted andthenewMember States ,and
between those States andthird countries ,aretobeequal tothe
difference between theprices fixed forthenewMember State concerned
andthecommon prices ,corrected totheextent necessary bytheamount
ofthe customs duties ;
Whereas ,forthebeef andveal sector ,thegeneral rules ofthe
system ofcompensatory amounts were laid down byCouncil Regulation
(EEC)NO181/73of23January 1973 (2);whereas ,since thearrangements
applicable toimports from third countries laid down inCouncil
Regulation (EEC)No805/68of27June 1968onthecommon organization
ofthemarket inbeef andveal (3)were substantially amended by
Regulation (EEC)No /77(4);thesystem ofcompensatory amounts
should beadjusted accordingly ;
Whereas customs duties between theCommunity asoriginally constituted
andthenewMember States have been gradually eliminated andtheCommon
Customs Tariff hasbeen gradually introduced inthenewMember States ,
sothat thetotal elimination ofanintra –community customs duties and
thecomplete application ofCommon Customs Tariff duties inrespect of

"beginning ofthe1977/78marketing year ;whereas itistherefore nolonger
necessary toprovide fortheadjustment ofcompensatory amounts "bythe
amount ofthecustoms duties inasystem that istotake effect on1April
1977 ;
Whereas ,inview oftheextent oftheamendments ,Regulation (EEC )Ho
181/73should "bereplaced ;
Whereas ifthelevy isreduced inaccordance with Article 12ofRegulation
(EEC)Wo805/68thecompensatory amounts should also bereduced inorder to
maintain Comunity preference ;whereas ,inorder toavoid deflections of
trade ,thesame reduction must also "beapplied totheamounts granted and
the amounts levied ;
Whereas thecompensatory amounts applicable tothetypes ofmeat referred
tointheAnnex toRegulation (EEC)No805/68must "bederived from the
compensatory amounts applicable tobovine animals ;whereas they canbe
derived byusing thecoefficients used tocalculate thelevies ;whereas ,
however ,theapplication ofthese coefficients canca^Je deflections of
trade since thepresentation ofcertain cuts canbeadvantageous ordis­
advantageous depending onwhether anamount islevied orgranted ;
Whereas Article 55(4)oftheActprovides that nocompensatory amount
shall befixed ifitscalculation results inaminimal amount ;whereas ,
therefore ,anamount should befixed that canbeconsidered asminimal ;
Whereas Article 55(3)oftheActprovides that thecompensatory amounts
applicable intrade between thenewMember States shall bedetermined by
direct reference tothecompensatory amounts fixed foreach ofthose
States ;whereas ,more specifically ,provision should bemade that in
each case these amounts Should equal thedifference inprices existing
between theMember States concerned ,which have been used todetermine
thecompensatory amounts applicable intrade with theCommunity as
originally constituted ;
Whereas since thepurpose ofcompensatory amounts inintra-Community
trade istoprovide satisfactory conditions forthemovement ofproducts
between twoMember States with different price levels ,acompensatory
amount should belevied for imports into aMember St,ate with ahigher
price level andconversely ,such anamount shoud begranted forexports
toaMember State with alower price level ;
Whereas Article 55(l)(a)oftheAct ,under which compensatory amounts
aretobelevied bytheimporting Member State orgranted bytheexporting
Member State ,means that thetask oflevying orgranting these amounts
devolves ontheMember State with thehigher price level ;
Whereas rules forthelevying andgranting ofcompensatory amounts
should befixed soastoavoid deflections oftrade ,
