COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3359/86
of 31 October 1986
concerning the quantity of high-quality beef and veal that may be imported from the United States of America and from Canada under the arrangements laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3655/85
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3583/85 of 17 December 1985 opening a Community tariff quota for high-quality fresh, chilled or frozen beef and veal falling within subheadings 02.01 A II a) and 02.01 A II b) of the Common Customs Tariff 1986 (1),
Whereas Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3655/85 of 23 December 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements provided for in Regulations (EEC) No 3582/85 and (EEC) No 3583/85 in the beef and veal sector (2) stipulates that import licences for the meat referred to in Article 1 (1) (d) of the Regulation must be applied for and issued in accordance with Articles 12 and 15 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3815/85 (4);
Whereas, on the basis of these provisions, licences have been issued for a quantity of 10 000 tonnes and, consequently, Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1914/86 (5) lays down that as from 1 July 1986 no further licences will be issued; whereas, however, it has been impossible to use a considerable number of these licences owing to certain problems connected with the measures taken by one of the third countries in which the products in question originate; whereas it seems appropriate to make a certain quantity available whilst ensuring that the total quantity imported does not exceed the figure of 10 000 tonnes laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3655/85;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
