 ---pagebreak---                            EXPLANATION OP MOTIVES
The Council Regulation (ESC ) No 1695/ 73    25 June 1973 determined, by-
derogation from Article 4 (a) of Regulation (EEC ) NO 974/71 » "the extent to
which the compensatory amounts for beef and veal resulting from a currency
depreciation could be greater than the import duty on goods from third
countries . This measure had as an effect the application of the same compen­
satory amounts to calves and young bovine animals for fattening as those
applied to other calves and other adult bovines in order to maintain the
economic advantage accorded to calves and young bovine animals intended for
fattening before the application of Article 4 (a) of Regulation (EEC )
No 974/71 .
In fact the customs duty applied to calves intended for fattening of less
than 80 kg is 4 $ and that applied to young male bovines intended for fattening
is 8 $ although the customs duty applied to other calves and other adult bovines
is 16 fc»
As a result of the depreciation of certain currencies and in particular of the
lire from 13 February 1973 the appreciation of Article 4 (a) of Regulation
(EEC ) No 974/71 has concelled at the advantage described above *
Therefore this draft regulation has the intention to give the same economic
advantage , in /.retroactive form and on demand of the interested party , during
the period 13 February 1973 to 24 June 1973 •
Moreover it is confirmed that on exports from France and Germany to Italy ,
the operators in the exporting Member States do not bring the proof of the
destination of the calves of the adult bovines since for intracommunity
exchanges the administrative formalities do riot allow a distinction to be
made between animals intended for fattening and the other animals .
The estimate of expenditure to be charged to the EAGGF is given in the Annex
to this draft Regulation.

                    Financial impact of the proposed measure
Although the proposal is meant to cover intra-Corumunity trade and trade
with non-aiember countries , the pattern of trade is such that in practice
only imports into Italy of the animals concerned are affected and benefit
from the proposed measure .
The information supplied to the Commission departments indicates that for
the period from 13 February 1973 to 2k June 1973 the following numbers
were involved :
- Exports from France to Italy     :   approximately 20 000 head
- Exports from Germany to Italy    :   approximately kO 000 head
                                          Total       60 000 head
                                           or          4 800 metric tons live
                                                             weight .
With the monetary compensatory amounts standing at 92.00 U.A. per metric
ton live weight , the additional expenditure would be some 44l 600 U.A.
As this expenditure is for monetary compensatory amounts in intra-
Community trade , it is considered , financially , as intervention within the
meaning of Article 3 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 729/70 and charged to Chapter
79 ( Article 792 "Monetary compensatory amounts ") of the Budget of the
European Communities .
Chapter 79' 1973 Appropriations kQk 578 000 Utilization kOk 57? 564
             ( including transfer of recently proposed appropriations )
             197^ Appropriations 363 000 000
The additional expenditure resulting from the proposed measure represents
0.1% of the appropriations entered under this chapter and 0.3$ of the
appropriations entered under Article 792 ( 163 million u.a .).    It should be
noted that utilization of the appropriations of this Article is mainly
determined by the extent of the float , in percentage terras , of the Member
States' currencies , and also that the percentages mentioned above are well
below the margin of uncertainty which affects financial estimates . As the
proposal concerns operations carried out in 1973 » the multiannual forecasts
are not affected .
