transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions
provided for in the Europe Agreement with Estonia (3)
opened certain annual tariff quotas for beef and veal
products.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/2002 (4) does not
lay down detailed rules for the application of the tariff
quota for thick skirt and thin skirt provided for in Regu-
lation (EC) No 1151/2002. This quota should therefore
be incorporated into Regulation (EC) No 1429/2002.

1. the second subparagraph of Article 3(3)(b) is replaced by the

Group 2: CN code 1602 50 10;

Group 3: CN codes 0206 10 95 and 0206 29 91.’;

2. Article 3(3)(c) is replaced by the following:

‘(c) for each group of products import licence applications
must cover a minimum weight of 15 tonnes of products
without exceeding the quantity available as defined in
Article 2.’;

3. Article 4(1) is replaced by the following:

‘1.
Licence applications may be submitted only in the first
12 days of each period referred to in Article 2. However, for
the period from 1 July to 31 December 2002, applications
for products other than thick skirt and thin skirt originating
in Estonia (covered by order number 09.4852) may be
submitted no later than 20 August 2002 and applications
for thick skirt and thin skirt may be submitted no later than
27 September 2002.’;

(3)

The conditions under which licences may be applied for
must be adjusted.

4. Annex I is replaced by the Annex hereto.

(4)

The measures laid down in this Regulation are in accor-
dance with the opinion of the Management Committee
for Beef and Veal,
