COMMISSION DECISION of 18 May 1995 on import licences in respect of beef and veal products  originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia (95/182/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements applicable  to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products  originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP) or in the overseas countries and  (OCT) territories  (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2484/94  (2), in particular Article  27 thereof,
Having regard to 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   (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1084/94  (4), and in particular Article 15 (6) (b) (i)  thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef  and veal products; whereas, however, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities  specified for each of these exporting non-member countries;
Whereas the applications for import licences submitted between 1 and 10 May 1995, expressed in  terms of boned meat, in accordance with Article 15 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80, do not  exceed, in respect of products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and  Namibia the quantities available from these States; whereas it is therefore possible to issue  import licences in respect of the quantities requested;
Whereas the quantities, in respect of which licences may be applied for from 1 June 1995, should be  fixed within the scope of the total quantity of 52  100 tonnes;
Whereas it seems expedient to recall that this Decision is without prejudice to Council Directive  72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of  bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries  (5), as last amended by the Act of  Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden,
