                        PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL REGULATION
             amending Regulation ( EEC) NO 181/ 73 lading down general
           rules for a system of compensatory amounts for "beef and veal
                   ( submitted to the Council lay the Commission)
  COM(73 ) 1774 final
 ---pagebreak---                                 MOTIVATION
The purpose of this draft of Regulation is to insert in the Regulation (EEC )
No . l8l/73 on article 7 specifying- that the transitiorf^ompensatory amount
to be collected in the trade between the new Member States and the Community
in its original composition cannot exceed the levy applied to the product
in question .
It is laid down in the Regulation mentioned that the transitional compensatory
amount shall be reduced by the same percentage as the one applied to the levy
and which is a result of the level of the market price in the Community in
relation to the guide price .
For the time being the import price is higher than the guide price in force
in the new Member States . The levy is 0 , and the transitional compensatory
amount , collected at the import of carcases of grown up cattle from Ireland
and the United Kingdom amounts to 7»12 UA/lOO kg.
On the basis of that fact the Irish delegation has drawn the attention of the
Council and the Commission to the difficulties , which the Irish exports meet
on the markets of the Community in its original composition in relation to
the imports from Third Countries .
This draft of Regulation is intended to remedy this situation , which presents
a political and economic problem in Ireland .
The proposed article 1 a is an amendement til the article 7r presently in force .

    "between the new Member States and the Community as originally constituted

    compensatory amounts to be charged or granted in force for the same product

    latter shall be fixed at zero .

 ---pagebreak---                      PROPOSAL FOR A CQKJNCIL REGULATION
amending Regulation (EEC ) NO 181/73 laying down general rulea for a system
                   of compensatory amounts for beef and veal
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty concerning the accession of new Member States
to the European Economic Community and to the European Atomic Energy Community .
( l ), signed on 22 January 1972 , and in particular Article 62 ( l ) of the Act
thereto ,
Having regard to the 'proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas movements in import prices in the beef and veal sector may load to .
the fixing of levies at an amount lower than that of the chargeable compensatory
amounts fixed in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC ) NO l8l/73 ( 2 ) of
23 January 1973 laying down general rules for a system of compensatory amounts
for beef and veal , calculatod on the basis of the difference between the
guide prices ; whereas therefore it is desirable to provide that this compen­
satory amount shall not exceed the amount of the levy ;
Whereas , in order to avoid deflection of trade , it is necessary to apply the
lowering resulting from this limitation to all the compensatory amounts for
the product in question ;
Whereas the non-application of the compensatory amounts fixed in article ^
in Regulation (EEC ) NO l8l/73 for calves and young bovine animals for fattening,
foreseen in article 11 of Regulation (EEC ) NO 805/58 gives cause for certain
problems because those animals only differ from other live animals thereby
that they are meant for fattening; whereas the existing provisions should
therefore be amended ,
                                                                           • • • /.
