THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the                           Common Customs Tariff(1), and in particular the first indent of Article 9(1)(a) thereof,                        

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(2), and in particular Article 12(5)(a)(iii) thereof,                        

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council                           Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(3), and in particular the second indent of Article 9(1) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)The binding tariff information (BTI) referred to in the Annex contains a tariff classification incompatible with the general                              rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (CN) set out in Section I of Part One of Annex I to Regulation (EEC)                              No 2658/87 and is inconsistent with other BTI.

(2)The products covered by the BTI referred to in the Annex consist of fruit juice(s), fruit juice concentrate(s), vegetable                              juice(s) or vegetable juice concentrate(s), whether or not mixed, as well as additives, diluted with water or aerated. The                              tariff classification of those products as set out in the BTI is not in accordance with TARIC codes 2202 90 10 19, 2202 90                              10 99, 2202 90 91 90, 2202 90 95 90 and 2202 90 99 90, respectively.

(3)To ensure equality between operators and the uniform application of the TARIC, the BTI referred to in the Annex should cease                              to be valid. The customs authorities which issued the information should therefore revoke it as soon as possible following                              the notification of the present Decision and notify the Commission to that effect.

(4)In accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92, the holder of BTI is given, for a certain period of time,                              the possibility of invoking BTI which has ceased to be valid subject to the conditions laid down in that provision and in                              Article 14(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

(5)The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
