Whereas Directive 70/524/EEC provides for regular amendment of the content of its Annexes to take account of advances in scientific and technical knowledge; whereas the Annexes were consolidated by Commission Directive 85/429/EEC (3);

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 of 17 December 1987 establishing an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1007/2002(6), established, on the basis of the combined nomenclature, an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds.
(2) Provisions are needed to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 in the pigmeat sector with a view to the classification of products falling within product codes 1602 41 10 91/10, 1602 41 10 91/30, 1602 42 10 91/10, 1602 42 10 91/30 and 1602 49 19 91/30.
