 1.     During the lest multilateral negotiations in GATT , the Community
undertook to open annually a Community tariff quota for heifers and
 cows of certain mountain breeds ( grey , brown , yellow and mottled Siramental
breeds and the Pinzgau breed ) falling within tariff subheading
No ex . 01.02 A 11(b ) 2 , totalling 20 000 head and subject to a duty of
6% .
        In fulfilment of this undertaking and in response to the request
of the Austrian authorities , the Community tariff quota in question has
been opened since 1 July 1970 to cover periods running from 1 July
of each year to 30 June of the following year . This quota was opened
for the last time by Council Regulation (EEC ) No 1^64/72 of 10 July 1972 ^^
for the period 1 July 1972 to 30 June 1973-
2.      In an exchange of letters with Austria dated 21 July 1972 the
Community oonsidered to increase this Community tariff quota ,
                         from 20 000 to 30 000 head and to lower the quota
duty from      to
        Subsequently it was agreed with the Austrian authorities that the
prorata increase in the quota for the five month period ( from 1 February
to 30 June 1973 ) preceding the expiry of the current quota year would
only be made if the current quota should prove insufficient and that the
reduction of the customs duty should take effect as from 1 February 1973 .
3.      The proposal for a Regulation attached therefore has as its object
to amend the abcs® mentioned Council Regulation (EEC ) No 146^/72 to
provide solely for the reduction of the quota duty .
