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 Article 9(1) (a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
For the classification of some products falling within heading 1905 of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, a distinction is to be made between, on the one hand, products of subheading 1905 90 20 and, on the other hand, preparations classified in subheading 1905 90 90.
(2)
According to the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 1905, item (B), this heading covers a number of products made of flour or starch pastes, generally baked in the form of discs or sheets.
(3)
No definition is given for ‘similar products’ included in subheading 1905 90 20.
