THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 518/92 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the  Republic of Poland of the other part (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 519/92 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the  Republic of Hungary of the other part (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 520/92 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Comunity and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the  Czech and Slovak Federal Republic of the other part (3), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1628/91 (5), and in particular Article 15 (2) thereof,
Whereas the Association Agreements between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Poland and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, hereinafter called 'the  CSFR', of the other part, were signed on 16 December 1991; whereas, pending the entry into force of these Agreements, the Community has decided to apply with effect from 1 March Interim Agreements concluded with the aforesaid countries, hereinafter  referred to as 'Interim Agreements';
Whereas, in view of the trade concessions provided for in the abovementioned Agreements with respect to agricultural products, a Community tariff quota for imports of bovine animals weighing between 160 and 300 kilograms originating in and coming from  Poland, the CSFR and Hungary at a 25 % levy reduced should be opened for 1992;
Whereas Protocol 7 to the Interim Agreements provides for a proportionate reduction in the quantity available for 1992 to take account of the period which has elapsed between the beginning of 1992 and the entry into force of the Agreements on 1 March;  whereas the actual quantity which may imported in 1992 should therefore be fixed at ten twelfths of the annual quantity, or 16 500 head;
Whereas, while recalling the provisions of the Interim Agreements intended to guarantee the origin of the product, the management of the system should be ensured through import licences; whereas, with that in mind, it would be appropriate to define, in  particular, the detailed rules for submission of applications, as well as the information which must be included on the applications and licences, notwithstanding certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying  down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1599/90 (7), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4  September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 815/91 (9); whereas provision should also be made for the licences to be  issued after a delay for consideration and, where necessary, with the application of a single percentage reduction;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
