Proposal  for a

opening a Community  tariff  quota  for frozen  thin skirt of bovine  animals 

falling within CN code  0206 29 91  (1992) 

(presented by the Commission) 

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)  meat of  bovine animals, frozen, totalling 53 000 tonnes, expressed  In 

weight  of boneless meat, at  a duty of 20%; 

(b)  high-quality  fresh, chilled or  frozen beef  and veal, totalling  34 000 

tonnes expressed  In weight  of  product, at  a duty of 20%; 

(c)  buffalo meat, frozen, totalling 2 250 tonnes, expressed  in weight  of 

boneless meat, at a duty of 20%; 

(d) 

frozen  thin skirt of bovine animals, totalling  1 500 tonnes, at  a duty 
of 4%. 

3.  To fulfil  the Community's obligation, a regulation must  be adopted  before 

1 January  1992 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  and  in particular  the 
unknown effect  of  the Uruguay  Round,  the Commission's  proposals are 
restricted  to 1992 only. 

4.  In general, the Community  administration  arrangements  for  53 000 tonnes of 
frozen meat  have worked  satisfactorily  and  the Commission  is therefore 
proposing  that  the system  be maintained  for  1992, with a few minor 
adjustments  to the amounts allocated  to the various operators concerned  by 
this quota.  The Commission  is of  the opinion  that  the full  application of 
the  judgment  of  the Court  of  Justice of  27 September  1988  (Case No  51/87, 
Commission  v Council) requires  that  20% of  the  total  quota  be opened  to 
newcomers. 

5.  The detailed  rules for  the application of  these quotas, and  in particular  the 
administrative arrangements allowing  imports  to be checked, will  be  laid down 
in accordance with  the Management  Committee  procedure.

THE  COUNCIL  OF  THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES, 

HAS  ADOPTED  THIS  REGULATION : 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European 
Economic  Community,  and 
in  particular  Article  113 
thereof, 

Having  regard  to  the  proposal  from  the  Commission, 

falling 
Whereas,  for  meat  of  bovine  animals,  frozen, 
within  CN  code  0202  and  products  falling  within  CN 
code  0206 29 91, the  Community  has  undertaken,  within 
the  framework  of  the  General  Agreement  on  Tariffs  and 
Trade  (GATT), to  open  an  annual  Community  tariff  quota 
at  a  rate of  duty  of  20 %,  the  quantity  of  which,  expressed 
in  weight  of 
boneless  meat,  has  been  fixed  at 
53 000  tonnes  ; whereas  that  quota  should  accordingly  be 
opened  for  199 2, 

Whereas  there  should  be  a  guarantee  of,  in  particular, 
access  by  all  interested  traders  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  ; 

Article  J 

frozen, 

tariff  quota 

for  meat  of  bovine 
1.  A  Community 
animals, 
falling  within  CN  code  0202  and 
products  falling  within  CN  code  0206 29 91,  totalling 
53 000  tonnes,  expressed  in  weight  of 
boneless 
meat,  is  hereby  opened  for  1992. 

For  the  purposes  of  counting  against  the  said  quota,  100 
kilograms  of  bone-in  meat  shall  be  equivalent  to  77  kilo 
grams  of  boned  or  boneless  meat. 

2. 
For  the  purposes  of  this  Regulation,  meat  which  is 
presented  frozen  at  the  time  of  acceptance  of  the  import 
declaration  shall  be  deemed  frozen  meat 

The  Common  Customs  Tariff  duty  applicable  to  the 

3. 
quota  shall  be  20  %. 

Whereas  the  arrangements 

Article  2 

consist  of  the  allocation  by  the  Commission  of  the 
to 
quantities  available  to  the  traditional  operators  and 
operators  engaging  in  trade  in  beef  and  veal, so  as  to  give 
the  latter  progressive  access  to  the  benefits  of  those  arran 
gements  ;  whereas,  in  view  of  this,  the  opportunities  for 
access  should  be  widened  by  increasing  the  proportion 
allocated  to  the  latter  operators  ;  whereas,  in  order  to 
ensure  that  their  activities  are  genuine,  only  quantities  of 
a  certain  size  representative  of  trade  with  third  countries 
should  be  considered  ; 

The  quota  of  53 000  tonnes  shall  be  divided  into  two 
parts  as  follows  : 

(a)  the  first,  equal  to  80  %  or  42400 

tonnes,  shall  be 
apportioned  between  importers  who  can  prove  they 
have  imported  frozen  meat  falling  within  CN  code 
0202  or  products  falling  within  CN  code  0206  29 91 
to  which  these  import  arrangements  apply  during  the 
last  three  years ; 

Whereas,  in  order  to ensure  the  quota  is  fully  utilized,  it  is 
necessary  to  set  a  time  limit  for  lodging  import  licence 
applications  and  to  allow  the  transfer  of  any  quantities 
that  have  not  been  applied  for  at  that  date  during  the  last 
quarter  of  1992  and  their  allocation  to  operators  on  the 
basis  of  the  quantities  remaining  rather  than  the  original 
allocation  criteria ; 

(b)  the  second,  equal  to  20  %  or  10600 tonnes,  shall  be 
apportioned  between  operators  who  can  prove  that 
they  engage  in  trade,  involving  a  minimum  quantity 
and  for  a  period  to  be  determined,  with  third  coun 
tries  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. 

Whereas  the  detailed  rules  for  the  application  for  this 
Regulation  should  be  drawn  up  in  accordance  with  the 
procedure  laid  down  in  Article  27  of  Council  Regulation 
(EEC)  No  805/68  of  27  June  1968  on  the  common  orga
