     Community undertook to open certain annual Community quotas including ,
    in the agricultural sector , those set out below :

                    mottled Simmental breed and
                    Schwyz and Fribourg breeds .,
                    If they are to come within
                    tire quota , animals of the
                    breeds in question must satis­
                    fy the following requirements :
                    - bulls : pedigree
                    - female animals : pedigree or
                       certificate of registration

                       of breed                           5 000 head      4 %
2 . In response to requests from the Swiss and Austrian authorities , the
    tariff quotas in question have been open since 1 July 1970 and cover
    the period from 1 July in each year to 30 June in the following year
    These quotas were last opened by Regulations ( EEC ) Nos . 1957 / 81 and
    1794 / 81 of 30 June and 13 July 1981 ( 0J No L 192 of 15 July 1981
    and L 179 of 1st July 1981 ) for the period from 1 July 1981 to
    30 June 1982
                                                                    •«/■■•

3 . In an exhange of Letters with Austria dated 21 July 1972 , the
    Community undertook to increase / unilaterally / the size of the
    first tariff quota set out above from 20 000 to 30 000 head and to
     lower the quota duty from 6 % to 4 % . Moreover , the quotas' volumes
    were unilaterally increased up to 38 000 head from the end of 1977 .
4 . In order to meet Community obligations , it is therefore necessary to
    adopt Regulations on the opening , allocation and administration of the
    Community tariff quotas , for the period front 1 July 1982 to
    30 June 1983 , in relation to the quantities of 38 000 and 5 000 head .
    This is the object of the proposals annexed hereto .
5 . As regards the allocation of the tariff quotas and , more especially ,
    the fixing of initial shares , it should be noted that , as in the case
    of previous quota periods , this has been based largely on the estimates
    of requirements by the Member States , since specialized , complete
    statistical date are not available .
    The proposal for a Regulation submitted to the Council concerning
    the first tariff quota of 38 000 head of cattle set out above provides
    for the fixing of a first part to be allocated among proportionally
    to their forecast needs among certain Member States among which are
    the Benelux countries , Germany / Greece , France , Ireland , Italy and
    the United Kingdom . The* remainder constitues a Community reserve which
    may be drawn up on not only by the abovementioned Member States , but
    also , if necessary , by Denmark .
6 . The proposed method of administration of the second tariff quota of
    5 000 head of cattle set out above differs from that proposed under
    para . 5 above only inasmuch as the first part constitutes 70 % of
    the quota and the Community reserve 30 % of the quota , to take account
    both of the large quantities which can be expected to be dran against
    the initial Italian shere forthwith and the need to cover any needs
    which may arise in the Benelux countries in Denmark and in Greece .
                                                                   ••/••

7 . The interpretation to be given to the phrase " not intended for
    slaughter " has been the subject of an exchange of views annually
    since 1974 .
    It had been apparent from those discussions that , in the case of
    animals whose importation was subject to submission of a breeding
    certificate ( certificate of pedigree or of registration in the
    herdbook ), checking the purpose for which the animals are in fact
    used would be pointless in view , in particular , of the high price
    of such animals . Assuming that such a certificate is not required ,
    a period of 4 months from the day of importation would appear the
    minimum period after which imported animals could be considered
    not to be intended for slaughter .
    This solution was adopted by the Council as an experiment for the
    period from 1 July 1974 to 30 June 1975 and was then adopted once
    more for the following tariff periods .
    At discussions at Council  level in 1978 and 1979 it was decided with
    the agreement of the Swiss authorities to extend the control measures
    on the non slaughter of animals imported with the above breeding
    certificate under the second quota of 5 000 head .
