 ---pagebreak---                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. Under the GATT multilateral negotiations, the Community undertook to
   open tariff quotas for fixed volumes each year for certain products in
   the beef and veal sector.
2. The annual tariff quotas concern:
    (a) high-quality beef and veal, fresh, refrigerated or frozen for a
        volume of 34 300 tonnes, expressed as product weight, at a customs
        duty of 20% and without levy;
   (b) frozen meat of the bovine species for a volume of 53 000 tonnes,
        expressed as boned meat, at a customs duty of 20% and without levy;
   (c) frozen buffalo meat for a volume of 2 250 tonnes, expressed as
        boned meat, at a customs duty of 20% and without levy;
   (d) thin skirt of the bovine species for a volume of 1 500 tonnes at a
        customs duty of 4% and without levy.
3. Since these quotas are to be replaced by new quotas under the Uruguay
   Round on 1 July 1995, the commission at this stage proposes to open
   only half the volumes indicated under point 2 for the first six months
   of 1995.
4. The implementing rules for the quotas, in particular the administrative
   provision permitting import control will be established in accordance
   with the "Management Committee" procedure.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Commission 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% without a levy for high-quality          fresh,

is 50% of the 34 300 tonnes available for 1995; whereas a quota for the
remaining quantity will be opened after the entry into force of and in

imports of the products in question until the quota is exhausted;

     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 (first half of 1995)
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 02 02 and
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 it is planned, pursuant to the agreements reached during the Uruguay
Round of multilateral trade negotiations, due to apply from 1 July 1995, to
maintain   that  quota   under  the   "current  access"  arrangements; whereas,
therefore, at this stage the quota should only be opened for the       first half
of 1995 and for the quantity corresponding to that period of the year, that
is 50% of the 53 000 tonnes available for 1995; whereas a quota for the
remaining quantity will be opened after the entry into force of and in
accordance with the provisions on the application of the          abovementioned
agreements;
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;
 ---pagebreak--- 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, for the latter operators however, account
should only be taken of quantities of a certain size representative of trade
with countries which are third countries on 31 December 1994;
whereas steps should be taken to ensure that operators of the new Member
States  in  the  former  category  can  participate  on   equal  terms  in  the
allocations  of  the  quantities  available;   whereas  for   those  operators,
therefore, quantities of the products covered by the quota imported between
1 July 1991 and 30 June 1994 into the new member States from countries which
are third countries for them on 31 December 1994 should be considered as
reference quantities giving access to that part of the quota reserved for
"traditional" importers; whereas the choice of those years is dictated by
the need to ensure their representativeness and to avoid consideration of
any speculative imports;
Whereas detailed rules for the application of this Regulation should be
adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 2 7 of Council
Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the
market in beef and veal(^); whereas, however, given the technical nature of
the  decisions,  the  Commission  should  be  given  sole   responsibility  for
allocating the quantities available,

     (EC) No 1884/94 (OJ No L 197, 30.7.1994, p. 27).

1.   A Community tariff quota for frozen meat of bovine animals falling
     within CN code 0202 and for products falling within CN code 0206 29 91,
     of 26 500 tonnes, expressed in weight of boned or boneless meat, is
     hereby opened for the first half of 1995.
     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 with an
     internal temperature of not more than -12°c when it enters customs
     territory of the Community shall be deemed frozen meat.
3.   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

          and  products  falling within  CN  code 0206 29 91  to which  these
          import arrangements apply within the last three years;
          and
          importers from.the new Member States who can prove they imported
          into their country of establishment during the period 1 July 1991

          from countries which are third countries for them on 31 December
          1994;
 ---pagebreak---  (b)  the second, equal to 20% or 5 300 tonnes, shall be apportioned between
      operators who can prove that they have conducted trade, involving a
      minimum quantity and for a period to be determined, with countries
      which are third countries for them on 31 December 1994, 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.  Detailed   rules   for  the   application   of  this   Regulation    and in
