THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 977/2003 of 7 June 2003 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for young male bovine animals for fattening (1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004)(1), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,
Whereas:
Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 977/2003 lays down the number of young male bovine animals which may be imported on special terms during the period from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004. The quantities applied for exceed the quantities available under Article 2(1)(c) of that Regulation. Therefore, the quantities applied for should be reduced on a proportional basis in accordance with Article 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 977/2003,
