 ---pagebreak---                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. The Community has undertaken, in the context of the multilateral
   negotiations under GATT, to open annual tariff quotas for fixed
   quantities of certain beef and veal products.
2. The tariff quotas concern the following :
   (a)    high-quality fresh, chilled or frozen beef and veal, totalling
          34 300 tonnes expressed in weight of product, at a tariff of
          20% without a levy;
   (b)    meat of bovine animals, frozen, totalling 53 000 tonnes,
          expressed in weight of boneless meat, at a tariff of 20%
          without a levy;
   (c)    buffalo meat, frozen, totalling 2 250 tonnes, expressed in
          weight of boneless meat, at a tariff of 20% without a levy;
   (d)    frozen thin skirt of bovine animals, totalling 1 500 tonnes,
          at a tariff of 4% without a levy.
3. To fulfil the Community's obligation, a regulation must be adopted
   before 1 January 1994 opening and providing for the allocation and
   administration of the Community tariff quotas in question for the
   following year. In view of the international negotiations currently
   under way, particularly "unknowns connected with the Uruguay Round",
   the Comission's proposals are restricted to 1994 only.
4. The detailed rules for the application of these quotas, particularly
   the administrative arrangements allowing imports to be checked, will
   be laid down in accordance with the Management Committee procedure.

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

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 0202 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 that
quota should accordingly be opened for 1994;
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;
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, in order to ensure that the activities of
the  latter   operators   are  genuine,  only   quantities  of a  certain  size
representative of trade with third countries should be considered;
Whereas, in order to ensure, as far as possible, that the quota is fully
utilized,   it   is  necessary   to  set   a  time  limit  for  import  licence
applications and to allow for the transfer of any quantities that have not
been applied for at that date to the final quarter of 1994; whereas steps
                                                                                4-
 ---pagebreak--- should  be taken to ensure that the quantities              remaining   are used as a
priority  to offset the consequences         for the operators       concerned   of the
possible  notification    to the Commission       by   the   national   authorities   of
incorrect   reference    quantities;      whereas,    furthermore,     the   quantities
remaining   after   that  allocation     must, where     appropriate,     be   allocated
between the different categories of operators on the basis of criteria other
than those laid down; whereas, in order to avoid the administrative burden
involved   in   allocating   small     quantities    to   a   very   large   number   of
applicants, allocation should not take place below a limit of 30 tonnes;
Whereas detailed rules for the application of this Regulation                 should be
adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Council
Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the
market   in   beef   and   vealt 1 ),   as   last   amended     by   Regulation    (EEC)
No 125/93^2); whereas, given the technical nature of the decisions, the
Commission    should   be   given     sole   responsibility      for   allocating    the
quantities available,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                       Article 1
1.   A Community tariff quota for frozen meat of bovine animals falling
     within CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 91, of
     53 000   tonnes, expressed       in weight   of   boned   or  boneless    meat, is
     hereby opened for 1994.
     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 when it
     enters the customs territory of the Community shall be deemed frozen
     meat.

     referred to in paragraph 1 shall be 20% and 0% respectively.
                                  Article 2
The quota referred to in Article      1 shall be divided into two parts as
follows:
(a)  the first, equal to 80% or 42 400 tonnes, shall be apportioned between
     importers who can prove they have imported frozen meat falling within
     CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 91 to which
     these import arrangements apply during the last three years;
(b)  the second, equal to 20% or 10 600 tonnes, shall be apportioned between
     operators who can prove that they have engaged in trade, involving a
     minimum quantity and for a period to be determined, 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.   Quantities which have not been covered by an import application at
     31 August 1994 shall be used during the final quarter of that year as a
     priority  to   take  account   of  possible  administrative  errors  in
     allocating additional quantities to the operators concerned.     If the
     quantities remaining after that allocation are equal to or more than 30
     tonnes, a further allocation shall be made, without account necessarily
     being taken of the apportionment referred to in Article 2.
2.   Member States shall notify the Commission, before 16 September 1994, of
     the quantities not applied for at 31 August of that year.

     available to operators.
