COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3495/86

of 13 November 1986

opening for 1986, as an autonomous measure, a special import tariff quota for high quality, fresh, chilled or frozen beef falling within subheadings 02.01 A II a) and 02.01 A II b) of the Common Customs Tariff

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 113 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Whereas, in view of the market situation for beef, both within and outside the Community, and of the Community's interest in maintaining harmonious trade relations with third countries, provision should be made for opening for 1986, as an autonomous measure, a special Community import tariff quota for 8 000 tonnes, at a duty of 20 %, of high quality fresh, chilled of frozen beef falling within subheadings 02.01 A II a) and 02.01 A II b) of the Common Customs Tariff;

Whereas equal, continuous access for all operators concerned in the Community to the said quota and the uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for that quota to all imports of the products concerned in all the Member States until the volume provided for is exhausted should, in particular, be ensured; whereas, to this end, a system for utilizing the Community tariff quota, based on the presentation of a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the type, source and origin of the products is appropriate;

Whereas rules for the application of these provisions should be adopted 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 Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (4),
