COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3688/84
of 19 December 1984
opening a Community tariff quota for frozen buffalo meat falling within subheading 02.01 A II b) 4 bb) 33 of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the Community has undertaken, within the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to open an annual Community tariff quota at a rate of duty of 20 % for 2 250 tonnes of frozen buffalo meat falling within subheading 02.01 A II b) 4 bb) 33 of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas there should be a guarantee of equal and continuing access by all interested traders within the Community to the said quota and of uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for that quota, to all imports of the product in question, in all the Member States, up to the limit of the volume of the quota; whereas it seems appropriate, to this end, to set up a system of use of the Community tariff quota, based on the presentation of a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the nature of the product, where it is imported from and its origin;
Whereas the detailed rules to implement these provisions should be drawn up in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (3), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession,
