This instrument provides for, and in relation to, the establishment and administration of: (a) a system of tariff rate quotas for the export from Australia to a member country of the EU of quota meat at the EU reduced tariff for quota meat in a quota year beginning on or after 1 July 2016; and (b) a system of tariff rate quotas for the export from Australia to a member country of the EU of grain fed high quality beef at the EU reduced tariff for grain fed high quality beef in a quota year beginning on or after 1 July 2016.

Note: A certain weight of quota meat and grain fed high quality beef may be exported to a member country of the EU at a reduced tariff rate. Quota meat and grain fed high quality beef must be covered by a tariff rate quota certificate issued under this instrument to be eligible for the reduced tariff. A higher tariff rate may apply to quota meat and grain fed high quality beef exported to a member country of the EU and not covered by such a tariff rate quota certificate.
