                                   Directive (EEC ) of the Council
laying down in respect of beef , veal and pigmeat as products provisions
                       implementing the Directive on inward processing .

  COM ( 74 ) 1264 Final
 ---pagebreak---                                       EXPLANATION
The market situation in theComraunity for beef , veal and  pigmeat has gradually
become more and more difficult and there is at present a surplus of beef ,
veal and pigmeat in the Community , This surplus which cannot be quickly
eliminated , sinoe there are few outlets on the world market and henoe only
limited possibilities for export of beef , veal and pigmeat , entails serious
difficulties for the proper working of the common organisation of the
market in beef , veal and pigmeat .
In order to remedy this serious market situation the Council adopted on
16 July various measures and in particular the Council regulations No 1853/74(l)
and 1854/74 prohibiting the use of inward processing arrangements in respect
of beef and veal ajnd pigmeat products respectively . These regulations
however , only partially cover the cases where it is economically justified
and possible to exclude the use of inward processing arrangements in respect
of pigmeat , beef and veal products , and it is therefore necessary to
supplement the regulations mentioned before . This may be done by a directive
applying article 5 (l ) of the Council directive on the harmonisation of
provisions laid down by law , regulation or administrative action in respect
of inward processing ( 3 ) ( 69/73/3EC ).
Article 29 of the basic Directive sets out the procedure for the adoption
of such an application directive , i.e. adoption by the Council acting on
a qualified majority on -.a proposal from the Commission .

                         Directive (EEC ) of the Council
         laying down in respect of "beef , veal and pigneat as products
           provisions implementing the Directive on inward processing.
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
HAVING REGARD to the Council Directive ( l ) of 4 March 1969 * on
hamonisation of provisions laid down by law , regulation or adninistrative
action in respect of inward processing, as last amended "by the Act ( 2 )
annexed to the Treaty ( 3 ) on the Accession of new Member States to the
European Economic Community and to the European Atomic Energy Community
signed at Brussels on 22 January 1972 , and in particular Articles 29 and
30 thereof ;
WHEREAS Article 5 ( l ) of Directive (EEC ) No 69/73 provides that the
competent authorities may grant the benefit of inward processing arrangements
in all cases where inward processing arrangements would contribute towards
providing the most favourable conditions for the export of goods
resulting from such processing without conflicting with essential interests
of producers within the Community ;             '
WHEREAS Article 5 ( 2 ) of that Directive specifies certain operations which
are to be regarded as contributing towards providing the most favourable
conditions for exportation while not conflicting with essential interests
of Community producers ;
WHEREAS the use of inward processing arrangements in respect of certain
beef and veal products' has been prohibited by Council Regulation (EEC )
No 1853/74 Of 16 July 1974 (4 );
WHEREAS the use of inward processing arrangements in respect of certain
pigmeat products . has been prohibited by Council Regulation (EEC ) No 1854/
74 of 16 July 1974 ; ( 5 )
                                                                 /«- β »

WHEREAS at present in the Community there is a surplus of beef, vec.l c.r ?.
pigneat products ; whereas there are few outlets on the world market ,
which considerably limits the possibility of exporting beef , veal and
pigneat products ; whereas all capacity for absorbing surpluses nust
therefore be reserved for Community production ;
WHEREAS the world market does , however , offer some outlets for certain
processed products ; whereas it is at present open to the Community
processing industries to obtain their beef , veal and pigneat for the
manufacture of such products from third countries and to process it under
inward processing arrangements ;
WHEREAS the Community surplus will enable those industries to obtain
supplies of beef , veal and pigmeat of Community origin, thus relieving
the Community market in those products ; whereas the use of beef , veal and
pigneat from third countries is therefore liable to conflict with
essential interests of producers within the Community;
WHEREAS it is necessary to ensure uniform application of Article 5 (l )
Directive (EEC ) No 69/73 ;
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE :
                                   Article 1 .    ,
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 5(2 ) of Council Directive
(EEC) No 69/73 or of Council Regulation (EEC ) No 1853/74 and No 1854/74
of 16 July 1974 , inward processing arrangements shall be regarded as
conflicting with' essential interests of producers within the Community
where they involve the introduction into the customs territory of the
Community from third countries of any of the following goods :
