(86/C 267/06) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 
113 thereof, Community tariff quota of 50 000 tonnes of frozen beef 
and veal falling within subheading 02.01 A II b) of the 
Common Customs Tariff, expressed as boned or 
boneless meat; whereas, therefore, this tariff quota 
should be opened for 1987; 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (x), 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament (2), Whereas, pursuant to Articles 75 (2) (a) and 278 (1) of 
the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, Spain and 
Portugal will apply as from 1 March 1986 the Common 
Customs Tariff duty; it is appropriate to provide for 
allocation for each of those Member States in respect of 
the quota period under consideration; 
Whereas, in the context of the General Agreement on 
Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the Community has 
undertaken to open, at a duty of -20 %, an annual

O OJNoC352, 31. 12. 1985. Whereas, in particular, equal and continuous access to 
the quota should be ensured for all persons concerned in 
the Community and the rate laid down for the tariff 
quota should be applied consistently in all Member 
States to all imports of the product in question until the 
quota is used up; whereas a system of utilization of the 
No C 267/8 Official Journal of the European Communities 23.10.86 
Community tariff quota, based on an allocation between 
the Member States concerned, would, in the light of the 
principles outlined above, appear consistent with the 
Community nature of the quota; whereas, in order to 
arrive at a fair allocation between the Member States 
and to represent as closely as possible the actual market 
trends in the product in question, the said allocation 
should be proportionate to the requirements of the 
Member States calculated with reference to statistical 
data on imports from third countries during a rep­
resentative reference period and to the economic 
prospects for the quota year in question; 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 8 (4) of Commission Regu­
lation (EEC) No 3183/80 of 3 December 1980 laying 
down common detailed rules for the application of the 
system of import and export licences and advance fixing 
certificates for agricultural products (x), as last amended 
by Regulation (EEC) No 2666/82 (2), import licences 
authorize the importation of a quantity exceeding by 
5 % the quantity indicated therein; whereas, however, 
the levy provided for in Article 12 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) No 3768/85 (4), should 
be applied to any quantity exceeding that indicated in 
the licence; 
Whereas, since the tariff quota in question is relatively 
small, it ought to be possible to provide for a system of 
allocation based on a single apportionment between the 
Member States, without thereby derogating from its 
Community nature; whereas it appears best to leave to 
each Member State the choice of a management system 
for its share of the quota, so that it may ensure an 
allocation which is appropriate from an economic 
viewpoint; 
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom 
of the Netherlands, and the Grand Duchy of Luxem­
bourg are jointly represented by the Benelux Economic 
Union, any operation concerning the administration of 
the quota shares allocated to that economic union may 
be carried out by any one of its members; 
Whereas the possibility should be provided for whereby 
quantities which have not been used up may be 
apportioned by the Council,
