EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. The Community has undertaken, in the context of the multilateral 
negotiations under GATT, to open annual tariff quotas for fixed 
quantities of certain beef and veal products. 
2. The tariff quotas concern the following : 
(a) high-quality fresh, chilled or frozen beef and veal, totalling 
34 300 tonnes expressed in weight of product, at a tariff of 
20% without a levy; 
(b) meat of bovine animals, frozen, totalling 53 000 tonnes, 
expressed in weight of boneless meat, at a tariff of 20% 
without a levy; 
(c) buffalo meat, frozen, totalling 2 250 tonnes, expressed in 
weight of boneless meat, at a tariff of 20% without a levy; 
(d) frozen thin skirt of bovine animals, totalling 1 500 tonnes, 
at a tariff of 4% without a levy. 
3. To fulfil the Community's obligation, a regulation must be adopted 
before 1 January 1994 opening and providing for the allocation and 
administration of the Community tariff quotas in question for the 
following year. In view of the international negotiations currently 
under way, particularly "unknowns connected with the Uruguay Round", 
the Comission's proposals are restricted to 1994 only. 
4. The detailed rules for the application of these quotas, particularly 
the administrative arrangements allowing imports to be checked, will 
be laid down in accordance with the Management Committee procedure.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 
Of 
opening and providing for the administration of a Community 
tariff quota for frozen meat of bovine animals falling 
within CN code 0202 and products falling within 
CN code 0206 29 91 (1994) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in 
particular Article 113 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas, for frozen meat of bovine animals falling within CN code 0202 and 
products falling within CN code 0206 29 91, the Community has undertaken, 
under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to open an annual 
Community tariff quota of 53 000 tonnes, expressed in weight of boned or 
boneless meat, at a rate of duty of 20% and at a zero levy; whereas that 
quota should accordingly be opened for 1994; 
Whereas there should be a guarantee of, in particular, equal and continuing 
access by all interested operators within the Community to the quota and of 
uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for that quota to all 
imports of the products in question until the quota is exhausted; 
whereas the arrangements consist of the allocation by the commission of the 
quantities available to traditional operators and to operators engaging in 
trade in beef and veal; whereas, in order to ensure that the activities of 
the latter operators are genuine, only quantities of a certain size 
representative of trade with third countries should be considered; 
Whereas, in order to ensure, as far as possible, that the quota is fully 
utilized, it is necessary to set a time limit for import licence 
applications and to allow for the transfer of any quantities that have not 
been applied for at that date to the final quarter of 1994; whereas steps 
4-
should be taken to ensure that the quantities remaining are used as a 
priority to offset the consequences for the operators concerned of the 
possible notification to the Commission by the national authorities of 
incorrect reference quantities; whereas, furthermore, the quantities 
remaining after that allocation must, where appropriate, be allocated 
between the different categories of operators on the basis of criteria other 
than those laid down; whereas, in order to avoid the administrative burden 
involved in allocating small quantities to a very large number of 
applicants, allocation should not take place below a limit of 30 tonnes; 
Whereas detailed rules for the application of this Regulation 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 vealt1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No 125/93^2); whereas, given the technical nature of the decisions, the 
Commission should be given sole responsibility for allocating the 
quantities available, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. A Community tariff quota for frozen meat of bovine animals falling 
within CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 91, of 
53 000 tonnes, expressed in weight of boned or boneless meat, is 
hereby opened for 1994. 
For the purposes of counting against the said quota, 100 kilograms of 
bone-in meat shall be equivalent to 77 kilograms of boned or boneless 
meat. 
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, meat which is frozen when it 
enters the customs territory of the Community shall be deemed frozen 
meat. 
(1) OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 24. 
(2) OJ No L 18, 27.1.1993, p. 1. 
J. The Common Customs Tariff duty and the levy applicable to the quota 
referred to in paragraph 1 shall be 20% and 0% respectively. 
Article 2 
The quota referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two parts as 
follows: 
(a) the first, equal to 80% or 42 400 tonnes, shall be apportioned between 
importers who can prove they have imported frozen meat falling within 
CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 91 to which 
these import arrangements apply during the last three years; 
(b) the second, equal to 20% or 10 600 tonnes, shall be apportioned between 
operators who can prove that they have engaged in trade, involving a 
minimum quantity and for a period to be determined, in beef and veal 
other than that to which these import arrangements apply and excluding 
meat which is the subject of inward or outward processing traffic. 
Article 3 
1. Quantities which have not been covered by an import application at 
31 August 1994 shall be used during the final quarter of that year as a 
priority to take account of possible administrative errors in 
allocating additional quantities to the operators concerned. If the 
quantities remaining after that allocation are equal to or more than 30 
tonnes, a further allocation shall be made, without account necessarily 
being taken of the apportionment referred to in Article 2. 
2. Member States shall notify the Commission, before 16 September 1994, of 
the quantities not applied for at 31 August of that year. 
Article 4 
1. Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, and in 
particular, 
(a) the apportionment of the quantities available between the 
©perators referred to in Article 2, and 
<b) the conditions for the issue of import licences and the period of 
validity thereof, 
steal! be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in 
Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68. 
2. The Commission shall decide upon the allocation of the quantities 
available to operators. 
Article 5 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its 
publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. 
It shall apply from 1 January 1994. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in
