COM(88) 5 final 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 14 January 1988) 
(88/C 30/11) 
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 Par­
liament, 
Whereas the Agreement on the conclusion of the 
negotiations held with Argentina pursuant to Article XXIV (6) of the GATT following the accession of Spain 
and Portugal provides for a unilateral concession under 
which 1 000 tonnes of fresh high-quality beef and veal 
falling within heading No 0201 and subheading 
0206 10 95 of the combined nomenclature may be 
imported in 1987/88 at a rate of duty of 20 %, thus 
covering the period between the initialling of the 
Agreement and its entry into force in the Community; 
Whereas there should be a guarantee of, inter alia, equal 
and continuing access for all interested importers in the 
Community to the said tariff quota and of uninterrupted 
application of the rate laid down for that quota to all 
No C 30/12 Official Journal of the European Communities 4.2.88 
imports of the product in question, in all the Member 
States up to the limit of the quota; whereas to that end it 
is advisable to introduce a system of utilization of the 
tariff quota, based on the presentation of a certificate of 
authenticity guaranteeing the nature, the provenance and 
the origin of the products; 
Whereas detailed implementing rules should be adopted 
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 Regulation (EEC)

That tariff quota shall total 1 000 tonnes expressed in 
weight of the product. 2. The rate of duty of the Common Customs Tariff 
applicable to the quota provided for in paragraph 1 shall 
be 20 %. 
No levy shall apply to the said quota.
