EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Atthelast multilateral GATT negotiations ,theEuropean Economic
Community undertook toopen certain annual Community quotas including ,
intheagricultural sector ,those setoutbelow :
CCT - Quota Quota
heading Description ofgoods volume :volume
No -
ex01.02 A
IIb) Cows andheifers ,not intented for
slaughter ,ofthefollowing moun­
tain breeds :grey ,brown ,yellow
and mottled Simmental breed and
Pinzgau breed (conditions tobe
determined bythecompetent
authorities ofthe Member State
ofdestination ) 20000head .6%
ex01 .02A
IIb) Bulls ,cows andheifers ,notin­
tended forslaughter ,ofthe -
following Alpine breeds :mottled
Simmental breed and Schwyz and
Fribourg breeds .
Ifthey aretocome within the
quota ,animals ofthebreeds in
question must satisfy the
following requirements :
-bulls :pedigree
-female animals :pedigree or .*
certificate ofregistration in
the herbook certifying purity
ofbreed 5000head 4%
Inresponse torequests from theSwiss andAustrian authorities ,the
tariff quotas ,inquestion have been open since 1July 1970andcover
theperiod from 1July ineachyear to30June inthefollowing year .
These quotas ,were lastopened byRegulatins (EEC)Nos1374/78and
1375/78of20June 1978 (OJNoL167of24June 1978 )fortheperiod
from 1July 1978 to30June 1979 .
•i•/i

Inanexchange ofletters with Austria dated 21July 1972 ,the .Community
undertook toincrease ,unilaterally ,thesize ofthefirst tariff quota
setoutabove from 20000to30000head and tolower thequota duty from
6%to4%.Moreover ,thequotas' volumes were unilaterally increased upto
38000 head from the end of1977 .
Inorder tomeet Community obligations ,itistherefore necessary to ^
adopt Regulations ontheopening ,allocation andadministration ofthe
Community tariff quotas ,fortheperiod from 1July 1979 to30June 1980 ,,
inrelation tothequantities of38000and 5000head .
This istheobject oftheproposals annexed hereto .
Asregards theallocation ofthetariff quotas and ,more especially ,the
fixing ofinitial shares ,itshould benoted that ,asinthecase ofprevious
quota periods ,this hasbeen based largely ontheestimates ofrequirements
bytheMember States ,since specialized ,complete statistical date arenot
available . -• -
Theproposal foraRegulation submitted totheCouncil concerning thefirst
tariff quota of38000head ofcattle setoutabove provides forthefixing
ofafirst part tobeallocated among proportionally totheir forecast needs
among certain Member States ^mong which aretheBenelux countries ,Germany ,
France ,Ireland ,Italy andtheUnited Kingdom .Theremainder constitutes a
Community reserve which maybedrawn uponnotonly bytheabovementioned
Member States ,butalso ,ifnecessary ,byDenmark .
Theproposed method ofadministration ofthesecond tariff quota of5000head
ofcattle setoutabove differs from that proposed under para .5above only
inasmuch asthefirst part constitutes 70%ofthequota andtheCommunity
reserve 30%ofthequota ,totake account both ofthelarge quantities which
canbeexpected tobedran against theinitial Italian shere forthwith and
theneed tocover anyneeds which mayarise intheBenelux countries andin

-3-
7. Theinterpretation tobegiven tothephrase "notintended forslaughter "
hasbeen thesubject ofanexchange ofviews annually since 1974 .
Ithadbeen apparent from those discussions that ,inthecase ofanimals
whose importation wassubject tosubmission ofabreeding certificate
(certificate ofpedigree orofregistration intheherdbookj ,checking
thepurpose forwhich theanimals areinfact used would bepointless
inview ,inparticular ,ofthehigh price ofsuch animals ."Assuming
that such acertificate isnotrequired ,aperiod of4months from the
dayofimportation would appear ,theminimum period after which imported
animals could beconsidered not tobeintended forslaughter .-
This solution wasadopted bytheCouncil asanexperiment fortheperiod
from IJuly 1974 to30June 1975 andwas then adopted once more forthe
following tariff periods .
During thediscussions atCouncil level inJune 1978 adeclaration was
written into theminutes containing anengagement bytheCommission to
enter into consultations with theSwiss authorities inorder tobeable
toextend thecontrol measures onthenonslaughter ofanimals imported
with theabove breeding certificate under the2ndquota of5000head .
While waiting fortheresult of .these negotiations ,theCommission
proposal concerning this latter quota ,already contains thecontrol
-measures unacted ,inthecontext oftheother quota .Itisevident
that theCommission reserves theright toamend theproposition while
1theprocedure isrunning asaresult ofthediscussions being
conducted . • - ,
