  In its Regulation ( EEC ) No 1331 / 77 of 20 June 1977 , the Council opened
  for the period from 1 July   1977 to 30 June 1978 a Community tariff quota
  for 30,000 head of animals   of certain mountain breeds , not intended for
  slaughter , of which 20,000  head is contractual and 10,000 head autonomous .
  The Commission considers that , in view of the aim pursued when, this
  quota was bound within GATT , which is to replanish and improve the
  mountain herds , it is in the Community 's interest to secure its supply
  under satisfactory conditions .     Consequently it proposes that the tariff
  quota concerned be autonomously temporarily increased in keeping with
  export possibilities of the supplier countries and the absorption'
  capacities of the Community .
  This increase of 8,000 head is allocated in full to the Community
  reserve so as to ensure optimum use of the. quota , allowing for
 uncertainties regarding future trade patterns .

                                  of
                  increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota

  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
  and in particular Articles 43 and 113 thereof ,
  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
  Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ,
                                               1
  Whereas in its Regulation ( EEC ) No 1331 /77 , the Council opened for
 .the period       1 July 1977 to 30 June 1978 and allocated among the
 Member States a Community tariff quota , at a duty of 4%, of 30 000
 head of heifers and cows , not intended for slaughter , of certain
mountain breeds falling within subheading ex 01.02 A II b ) of the .
 Common Customs Tariff ;
 Whereas, in certain areas and at certain periods of the year , production for
these animals is       inadequate in the Community and consequently users
depend for their supplies on imports from non-member countries to an
extent that exceeds the volume of the quota opened by the abovementioned
Regulation;    whereas it is therefore in the Community 's interest      autonomously
  to           increase the size of the tariff quota by a suitable amount ,
which could be 8 000 head ;
    0J N0 L 154, 23 . 6 . 1977, p. 2 .
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas in view of the special characteristics of these animals and the
uncertainties regarding future imports by each of the Member States ,
the whole of the additional quota should be allocated to the Community
