Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provision must be made for the classification of steel plates of a length of between 8,30 m and 15,50 m, a width of 1,00 m and a thickness varying from one end to the other;
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (3) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4066/86 (4) classifies within tariff heading No 73.13 sheets and plates, of iron or steel, hot-rolled or cold-rolled, and within heading No 73.21, amongst other things, plates of iron or steel, prepared for use in structures;
Whereas both these headings may be taken into account in classifying the goods in question;
Whereas, although they are simply obtained by rolling, these products, because of their varying thickness and specific dimensions are indentifiable as intended for use in the construction of a bridge;
Whereas by application of General Rule 3 (a) for the interpretation of the nomenclature heading 73.21 is the most appropriate;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,

(2)
Croatia should be added to that list of third countries from which imports are authorised in the light of the situation achieved with regard to animal health in Croatia.

(1)
Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 lays down a list of third countries and territories from which movement of pet animals to the Community may be authorised, provided that certain requirements are met.

From information supplied by Argentina it appears that the risk of rabies entering the Community as a result of movements of pet animals from Argentina has been found to be no higher than the risk associated with movements between Member States or from third countries already listed in Regulation (EC) No 998/2003.
