Brussels, 28.06.1994

Amended  proposal  for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION  (EC) 

opening  and providing  for the administration  or  Community 
tariff  quotas  for bulls,  cows  and heifers,  other  than  those 
intended  for  slaughter,  of  certain  Alpine  and mountain,  Lreeds 

(presented  by  the Commission  pursuant  to Article  189 A (2) 
of  the  EC-Treaty)

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

1. 

At  the multilateral  GATT negotiations, the European  Community 
undertook  to open certain annual  Community  quotas  including,  in the 
agricultural  sector, those set out  below: 

OCT heading 

Description of goods 

volume 

Quota 

ex 01.02 

Cows  and heifers, not  intended for 

slaughter, of  the following mountain 

breeds; grey, brown, yellow and 

mottled  Sinmental breed and Pinzgau 

breed  (conditions  to be determined 

by the competent  authorities  of the 

Member  State of destination) 

20 000 head 

6% 

ex 01.02 

Bulls, cows and heifers, not  intended 

for  slaughter, of  the following breeds; 

mottled  Sinmental  breed  and Schwyz and 

Fribourg  breeds. If they are  to come 

within  the quota, animals  of  the breeds 

in question must  satisfy the following 

requirements: 

-bulls: pedigree 

-female animals: pedigree or  certificate 

of registration  in herdbook  certifying 

purity of breed. 

5 000 head 

4% 

2. 

3. 

The tariff quotas  in question were  first opened on  1 July  1970 in 
response  to requests  from  the Swiss and Austrian authorities, and 
cover  the period  from  1 July  in each  year  to 30 June  in the following 
year. 

In an exchange of  letters with Austria  dated  21  July  1972, the 
Community  undertook  uni laterally  to  increase  the size of  the first 
tariff  quota  set out  above  from  20 00 to 30 000 head  and  to  lower  the 
quota duty  from 6%  to 4%. The quota  volume was again uni lateral ly 
increased  to 38 000 head  from  the end of  1977. And under  an agreement 
in the form of exchange of  letters dated  14 July  1986 which was 
adopted  by  the council's Decision of  15 September  1986  (OJ No L 328 
of  22 November  1986 p. 57), the volume of  this tariff quota was once 
more raised  to 42 600 head, as from  1 July 1986.

8. 

To take account  of  the consequences of Austria's accession  to the 
Community  from  1 January  1995,  it would be appropriate  to divide the 
volume of  42 600 head  into two six-month  tranches, that  is 21 300 
head until  31.12.1994  (half of  the GATT-consolidated  annual  volume 
plus half of  the autonomous annual  quantity) and  10 000 head until 
30.6.1995  (half of  the consolidated annual  volume). The  Community 
reserves  the right  to adapt  the quantity of  the second  tranche  in 
accordance with  the consequences of a possible  renégociation  in the 
GATT, which would affect  the tariff  quota. 

These quotas were opened most  recently  by Regulations  (EEC) Nos 
1918/93 and  1919/93 of  12 July  1993 (0J No L 174 of  17.7.1993), for 
the period  from  1 July  1993 to 30 June 1994. 

In order  to meet  community  obligations,  it  is therefore necessary  to 
adopt  Regulations on the opening  and administration of  the Community 
tariff quotas, for periods running  from  1 July  to 31 December  1994 
and  1 January  to 30 June  1995 and  from  1 July  1994 to 31  December 
1995. 

As with other  Community  tariff  quotas, the proposal  does not  provide 
for  the quota-volumes to be divided  up between Member  States but  the 
possibility  for  the Member  States  to benefit  from  the  latter  by means 
of certificates of participation. 

To respond  to the request of certain Member  States who, knowing  large 
imports of  Iiving animals, fearing difficulties  in administrât ion as 
well  as problems of speculation  in this area,  it has been  Judged 
appropriate  to  limit  the number  of non-traditional  beneficiaries of 
these quotas  to those who can prove  to have  imported  and/or  exported, 
in the course of  the previous year, at  least  20  living animals. 

9. 

To facilitate greater  respect  for  the condition of non-slaughtering, 
it  is considered  suitable to submit  the favourable  tariff  treatment 
in question to customs supervision of  the end-use of  these animals. 

This  is the purpose of  the attached proposal

Amended  proposal  for 
COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC) 

opening  and  providing  for  the 
tariff  quotas  for bulls, cows

THK  C O U N C IL  OF  T H I:  E U R O P E AN  UNION 

Having  regard  to the  Treaty  establishing  the Fiuropca:. 

C o m m u n i t y,  and  in  particular  Article  II-

thereof. 

Having  regard  to the proposal  fiom  the Commission 

Whereas  the European  Community  has undertaken 
within  the framework  of  the General  Agreement 
on  Tariffs  and Trade  (GATT),  to open  an annuel 
Community  tariff  quota  of 5 0 00 head  at a  duty 
of  4  % for bulls,  cows  and heifers,  other  than 
those  intended  for slaughter  of the mottled 
S immental  breed  and the Schwyz  and Fribourg 
breeds,  and another  annual  Community  tariff 
quota  of 20 0 00 head  at a duty  of 6 %  for cows 
and  heifers,  other  than  those  intended for 
slaughter,  of the grey,  brown,  yellow and 
mottled  Simmentol  breed  and mottled  Pintzgau 
breed; 

whereas,  in an exchange  of  letters  with  Auslri > 
doted  21  July  1972. the Community  undertook 
unilaterally  to  increase  the size  of the tariff 
quota  from  20 000 to 30 0 00 head  and to  lower 
the  quota  duty  from  6%  to 4%; whereas, 
subsequently,  this  quota  was  increased 
unilaterally  to 38 000 heod;  whereos  according 
to  the Agreement  in the form  of an exchange of 
letters  between  the European  Community  and the 
Republic  of Austrio  concerning  agriculture of 
14  July  1986. which  was approved  by  Decision 
86/555/EECv1),  the volume  of  this  tariff  quota 
was  raised  to 42 600 head  as  from  1 July 1986; 

whereas  the'imported  animals  should  be  subject 
to a control  t h o t t h ey  ore  not  slaughterer for 
a  certain  period;  whereas  Council  Régulât! 

(EEC)  N*  2913/92^2)  provides,  in its Article 
82.  for customs  supervision  of  goods  put  into  • • 
free  circulation  at a  reduced  rate  of duty  on" 
account  of  their  end—use;  whereas  with  o  view 
to  the prospect  of Community  accession by 

Austrio  and the consequential  new situation, 
the  tariff  quota  at  order  n*  09.0001  should be 
opened  in two six-month  tranches  and the 
Community  should  reserve  itself  the possibility 
of  moking  the necessary  adaptations  arising 
from  the  consequences  of  the enlargement; 
whereas  the  obove-flient i oned  tariff  quotas 
should  therefore  be opened  for the periods 
'"iicoted  below 
Wh'.reas  it  is, in particular,  necessary  to 
ensure  equal  and continuous  access  for all 
Community  importers  to the obovementioned 
quota,  ond the uninterrupted  application  of the 
quota  duties,  to all  imports  of  the animols in 
question  until  the quota  is  exhausted, 
Wherecs  the decision  for the opening,  in the 
execution  of  its  international  obligations, of 
tori f f  quotas  should  be  taken  by the Community, 
whereas,  to ensure  the efficiency  of a  common 
administration  of  these  quotas,  entitlement 
certificates  should  be granted  in such  a way as 
to  share  the quota  volumes  in accordance  with 
•he  needs  expressed  by  importers;
