were last opened by Regulations ( EEC ) Nos . 1482 /79 and 1483 /79 of 16 July

 This is thel      object of the proposals annexed hereto .

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 ,
             I         ,                                            ,
France , Ireland, Italy and the United Kingdom. The remainder constitutes "a
Community jreserve which may be drawn up on not only by the aboverrenti oued
Member States , but also , if necessary , by Denmark..
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
              i
inasmuch as the first part constitutes 70% of the quota and the Community
              i                                                                          •
reserve 30% of the quota , to take account both of the large quantities vhich
can be expected to be dran against the initial Italian shere forthwith and
the need tc cover any needs which may arise in the Benelux countries and in .
Denmark.*

It had be.en apparent from those discussions that , in the case of . ninuils
whose importation was subject to submission of a breeding certificate
( certificate of pedigree or of registration in the hftrdbook) , checking
the purpose for which the animals are in fact used would be point 1 ci , r-
in view,jin 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 I 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 .
