of 2 March 1987

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1726/86 (3), opened and allocated among the Member States, for the period 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987, a Community tariff quota of 38 000 head at a duty of 4 %, for animals of certain mountain breeds; whereas, by Decision 86/555/EEC (4), the Council approved the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria concerning agriculture; whereas this agreement provides for the volume of the aforementioned quota to be raised from 38 000 to 42 600 heads as from 1 July 1986 so as to take into account the accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas the volume of this quota should as a result be modified;
Whereas it is appropriate to divide into two instalments the volume of the increase, the first part being allocated among certain Member States in proportion to their foreseeable additional needs, and the second held as a Community reserve to cover the possible additional needs of any Member State,
