(2) However, entry prices were nevertheless calculated for these products and adopted in Commission Regulation (EC) No 8/2004(3) in the case of large-flowered roses, Commission Regulation (EC) No 9/2004(4) in the case of small-flowered roses, and Commission Regulation (EC) No 10/2004(5) in the case of uniflorous (bloom) carnations.

(4) Regulations (EC) No 8/2004, (EC) No 9/2004 and (EC) No 10/2004 should therefore be repealed with effect from their date of entry into force, since the customs duties collected under those Regulations can be reimbursed under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(7) and 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(8).
(5) The Commission must take these measures in between the meetings of the Management Committee for Live Plants,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulations (EC) No 8/2004, (EC) No 9/2004 and (EC) No 10/2004 are hereby repealed.
