EXPLANATORT MEMORANDUM
TheEuropean Economic Community hasagreed inGATT multilateral negotiations
toopen anannual Community tariff quota of50000tonnes (expressed as "boned
meat )offrozen "beef falling within subheading 02.01 AIIb)oftheCommon
Customs Tariff ata20%rate ofduty .
FortheCommunity ^obligation tobesatisfied ,aRegulation must beadopted
before 1January I9S3 opening ,allocating andproviding fortheadministration
ofthe quota .
Since compensatory amouts canbeapplied inrespect of16500tonnes ofthe
quota ,theCommission has initsproposals divided the50000tonnes into two
parts ,oneof33500tonnes andtheother of16500tonnes ,each part tobe
allocated separately among alltheMember States .
Asregards theallocation ,inrecent years imports offrozen beef into the
Community have been made almost exclusively under special arrangements (such as
theGATT quota ,theACPpreferential system andthearrangement forimporting
meat forprocessing ).Theallocation figures maynottherefore berepresentative
ofthetrend ofimports andrequirements ineach Member State ,Moreover ,the
economic outlook fortheyear covered bythequota cannot beassessed accurately
enough ,
Inview ofthese difficulties ,theCommission takes theview that thesame
allocation ofthequota amounts should bemade totheMember States aswasmade
for1982 .

Proposal for a
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC )"
opening ,allocating andproviding fortheadministration ofaCommunity
tariff quota forfroeen beef andveal falling within subheading 02.01 A
IIb)oftheCommon Customs Tariff (1983 )
THECOUNCIL OPTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economio Community ,andin
particular Articles 43and113thereof ,
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Having regard totheopinion oftheEuropean Parliament (l),
Whereas ,inthecontext oftheGeneral Agreement ontariffs andtrade (GATT ),the
Community hasundertaken toopen ,ataduty of20%,anannual Community tariff quota
of50000tonnes offrosen beef andveal falling within subheading 02*01 AIIb)of
theCommon Customs Tariff ,expressed asboned orboneless meat ;whereas ,therefore ,
this tariff quota should beopened on1January 1983 ;
Whereas equal andoontinuous aocess tothequota should beensured forallpersons
conoerned andtherate laid down forthetariff quota should beapplied consistently
inallMember States toallimports oftheproduot inquestion until thequota is
used up;whereas asystem ofutilisation oftheCommunity tariff quota ,based onan
allocation between theMember States ooncerned ,would ,inthelight oftheprinciples
outlined above ,appear consistent with theCommunity nature ofthequota ;whereas ,
inorder toarrive atafair allocation between theMember States and torepresent as
olosely aspossible theactual market trends intheproduct inquestion ,thesaid
allocation should beproportionate totherequirements oftheMember States
caloulated with referenoe totaport statistics fortheproduct concerned andto
theeconomic prospects forthequota year inquestion ;
(1)OJNoC

Whereas ,pursuant toArticle 2(4)ofCommission Regulation (EEC)No3183/80of
3December 1980 laying down common detailed rules fortheapplication ofthesystem
ofimport andexport licences andadvance fixing certificates foragricultural
products (2),aslast amended byRegulation (EEC)No (3)*import lioences
authorise theimportation ofaquantity exceeding by5thequantity indicated
therein ;whereas ,however ,thelevy provided forinArticle 12ofCouncil Regulation
(EEC)No805/68of27June 1968 onthecommon organisation ofthemarket inbeef and
veal (4)9aslast amended bytheAotofAccession ofGreece ,should beapplied to
anyquantity exceeding that indicated inthelioenoe ;
Whereas ,since thetariff quota inquestion isrelatively small ,itought tobepossible
toprovide forasystem ofallocation based onasingle apportionment between the
Member States ,without thereby derogating from itsCommunity nature ;whereas it
appears best toleave toeach Member State the choice ofamanagement system forits
share ofthequota ,sothat itmay ensure anallocation whioh isappropriate from ail
economic viewpoint ;
Whereas ,since theKingdom ofBelgium ,theKingdom oftheNetherlands andtheGrand
Duohy ofLuxembourg are jointly represented bytheBenelux economic union ,any
operation concerning theadministration ofthequota shares allocated tothat economic
union maybeoarried outbyanyoneofitsmembers ;
Whereas there should beapossibility whereby quantities which arenottaken
upmay beapportioned bytheCouncil ;
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
Article 1
1#ACommunity tariff quota forfroaen beef andveal falling within subheading 02.01
AIIb)oftheCommon Customs Tariff ,totalling 50000tonnes expressed asboned
orboneless meat ,ishereby opened for1983 .
Forthepurpose ofcharging imports against this quota ,100kilograms ofunboned
meat shall betaken tobeequivalent to77kilograms ofboned orboneless meat .
