COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3806/92of 23 December 1992  fixing the number of young male bovine animals which may be imported on special terms in the first  quarter of 1993 and derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 in respect of that quarter as  regards the allocation of the quantities available THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of  the market in beef and veal  (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2066/92  (2), and in  particular Articles 13 (4), 15 (2) and 25 thereof, Whereas the Council has drawn up an estimated supply balance of 198  000 head under the new import  arrangements applicable to young male bovine animals for fattening for the period 1 January to 31  December 1993; whereas, pursuant to Article 13 (4) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, the number  which may be imported each quarter and the rate of reduction in the import levy on such animals  must be determined; Whereas detailed rules for the practical application of these special arrangements were laid down  in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 612/77  (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1121/87  (4),  and in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80  (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 815/91   (6); Whereas the supply requirements of certain regions of the Community which have a serious shortfall  in bovine animals for fattening must be taken into account; whereas those requirements are apparent  in Italy and Greece and may be estimated for the first quarter of 1993 at 42  120 head and 6  435  head respectively in those Member States; Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1432/92  (7), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2015/92  (8),  prohibits trade between the European Economic Community and the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro;  whereas these Republics are therefore excluded from the scheme; Whereas, in accordance with letter No 2 annexed to the Interim Agreement between the European  Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community of the one part, and the Czech and  Slovak Federal Republic of the other part, these arrangements should apply to that Republic; Whereas the supply requirements in young bovine animals for fattening justify, for the first  quarter of 1993, a higher rate of reduction in the levy on animals weighing from 220 to 300  kilograms per head, originating in and coming from Hungary, Poland or the Czech and Slovak Federal  Republic; Whereas the quantities available must be shared between the traditional trade and other potential  applicants; Whereas, in order to simplify the procedure for allocating the quantities available it is necessary  to derogate from Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80; whereas in the case of the traditional trade the  quantities available should be allocated directly in proportion to the number of head imported  during the last three years; whereas, in the case of other applicants, the quantities available  should be allocated directly in proportion to the number of head for which application is made; Whereas, in the case of other applicants, the maximum quantity which each application for an import  licence may cover must be limited, in order to permit a more equitable distribution of the  quantities available; whereas for financial reasons a minimum number of head should be set for  these applications; Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Beef and Veal, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 1.  For the period 1 January to 31 March  1993, the maximum number referred to in Article 13 (4) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 shall be  52  335 head of young male bovine animals for fattening comprising: (a)  6  805 of a live weight of not more than 300 kilograms per head and subject to a 65  %  reduction in the levy, and (b)  45  530 of a live weight of 220 to 300 kilograms per head,  originating in and coming from Hungary, Poland or the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic and subject  to a 75  % reduction in the levy. 2.
