                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
With a view to maintaining harmonious trade relations with certain non-
member countries and In particular Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, it Is
proposed to open a special import quota for high-quality beef and veal
equal to 3 000 tonnes for those countries          as an autonomous
measure.
There Is limited demand In the Community for such meat meeting well-defined
specifications and coming from livestock reared mainly on pasturage, which
can be met by this quota plus those opened under the Community's
international undertakings.
The 3 000 tonne quota, allocated equally between the non-member countries
concerned, will be exempt from any levy and the 20% duty on import.

inadequate export receipts and thus boost the economic development of .
developing countries;
Whereas high-quality beef exports are of decisive Importance to the
economies of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay;
Whereas, for the abovementloned reasons, a special autonomous quota of
3 000 tonnes should be opened at 20%    duty    for     imports from these
three countries of high-quality beef covered by CN codes 0201 and 0202 and
products covered by CN codes 0206 10 96 and 0206 29 91;
