THE  COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 of 29 March 1994 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for high-quality beef, and for pigmeat, poultrymeat, wheat and meslin, and brans, sharps and other  residues (1), and in particular point (c) of Article 7 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1854/94 (2) lays down the conditions for the issue of import licences for the quota opened by Regulation (EC) No 774/94; whereas the amount of the performance guarantee provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1854/94 is  equal to the levy applicable on the day of import and, therefore, no sanctions are laid down for non-fulfilment of the special import conditions applicable to that quota; whereas, given the time necessary for checking the minimum quality of the imported  products pursuant to the provisions establishing quality criteria and to avoid any speculation when import licences are applied for, the amount of the performance guarantee should be increased; whereas, for the same reasons, the provisions governing the  release of that guarantee must be amended; whereas, therefore, Regulation (EC) No 1854/94 should be amended;
Whereas, pursuant to the relevant provisions, the first date for the submission of import licence applications is 30 October 1994; whereas this Regulation should apply to those applications;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
