munity undertook toincrease ,unilaterally ,thosize ofthefirst
tariff quota ,setoutabove from 20000to30000head andtolower the -
quota duty from 6%toh
Inorder tomeet Community obligations ,itistherefore necessary
toadopt Regulations ontheopening ,allocation andadministration of
theCommunity tariff quotas ,fortheperiod from 1July 1977to
30June 1973 - i ••
This istheobject oftheproposals annexed hereto .
Asregards theallocation ofthetariff quotas and ,more especially ,
thefixing ofinitial shores ,itshould benoted that ,asinthecase
ofprevious quota periods ,this haei'been based largely ©ntheestimates
presented bytheMember States ,since specialized ,complete statistical
date arenotavailable ,andhastaken into account thenecessity of
meeting thepossible future needs ofthenewMember States®
Theproposal foraRegulation submitted totheCouncil concerning the
first tariff quota of30000head ofcattle setoutabove provides
forthefixing ofafirst part tobeallocated among proportionally to
their forecast needs among certain Member States among which aretheBenelux
countries ,Germany ,France ,Ireland ,Italy andtheUnited
Kingdom . ' Theremainder constitutes aCommunity .
reserve vjhich maybedrawn uponnotonly bytheabove-mentioned
Member States ,but also ,ifnecessary ,
byDenmark .Inorder tomeet anyneeds which mayarise inthe
latter Member State ,theCommunity reserve ,which isxityuaXIy £ixed
at30%ofthototal quota ,hasbeen Increased toabout 37% . •
6.Theproposed method ofadministration ofthesecond tariff quota of5000head
ofcattle sotoutabove differs from that proponed under para .5above
only inasmuch aathefirst part constitutes ?0%ofthoquota tho
Community reserve ?0%ofthequota ,totake account both ofthelarge
quantities which canbeexpected tobedrawn against theinitial Ica.ls.an shave

forthwith and theneed tocover anyneeds which may arise inthe
Benelux countries and inDenmark .
Asregards thetariff duty tobeapplied ,theposition isdifferent
intheCommunity asoriginally constituted and inthenewMember
States .For theoriginal Member States theduty istobefixed
at4%.
Asfor thenewMember States ,inpursuance ofArticle 59,thenational
tariffs ofthenewMember States are tobealigned ontheCommon Customs
Tariff byannual 20%stages beginning in1973 -except insofar as
paragraph 4oftheabove-mentioned article applies -that is,forbeef
andveal products ,around 1April each year ,atthestart ofeach
marketing year * alignment will therefore betotally achieved as
from thebeginning ofApril 1977 .
Theinterpretation tobegiven tothephrase "notintended 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 areinfact used would bepointless
inview ,inparticular ,ofthehigh price ofsuch animals .Assuming
that such acertificate isnotrequired ,aperiod of4months from
thedayofimportation would appear theminimum period after which
imported animals could beconsidered not tobeintended forslaughter .
This solution wasadopted bytheCouncil asanexperiment forthe
period from 1July 1974 to30June 1975 andwasthen adopted once more
forthefollowing tariff periods .
Providing nonewaspects arise ,this solution isproposed forthe
coming quota period also .
