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) 

(b) 

(c) 

(d) 

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; 

meat of bovine animals, frozen, totalling  53 000 tonnes, 
expressed  in weight of boneless meat, at a tariff of 20% 
without a levy; 

buffalo meat, frozen, totalling  2 250 tonnes, expressed in 
weight of boneless meat, at a tariff of 20% without a levy; 

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.

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  the  Commission  has  undertaken, within  the  framework  of  the  General

to  that  end,  a  system  for  using  the  Community  tariff  quota  based  on  the 

presentation of a certificate of authenticity  guaranteeing  the nature of the 

products, their provenance and their place of origin  should be introduced; 

Whereas  detailed  rules  for  the  application  of  this  Regulation  should  be 

adopted  in accordance with the procedure  laid down  in Article  27 of  Council

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.

(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.
