COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1219/84
of 30 April 1984
on the classification of goods under subheading 64.02 B of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions must be laid down concerning the tariff classification of footwear known as 'espadrilles' having uppers of fabric and the outer sole of hemp rope, whose
(a) front, middle and back, or
(b) front (including the ball of the foot) and back
have a covering of rubber or artificial plastic material (over a minimum of 35 % of the total surface of the outer sole);
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1018/84 (3), refers under heading No 64.02 to 'footwear with outer soles of leather or composition leather; footwear (other than footwear falling within heading No 64.01) with outer soles of rubber or artificial plastic material' and under heading No 64.04 to 'footwear with outer soles of other materials'; whereas, for the classification of the goods in question, the abovementioned headings can be considered;
Whereas the difference between the products falling in each of these headings lies, essentially, in the characteristics of the outer soles; whereas the parts of the soles most subject to wear have a covering of rubber or artificial plastic material; whereas the soles thereby acquire the character of rubber or artificial plastic soles since, in terms of their use, they have comparable strength and durability;
Whereas footwear as described of the 'espadrilles' type must therefore fall within heading 64.02, in subheading 64.02 B, pursuant to Rule 3 (b) for the interpretation of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Footwear known as 'espadrilles' having uppers of fabric and the outer sole of hemp rope, whose
(a) front, middle and back, or
(b) front (including the ball of the foot) and back
have a covering of rubber or artificial plastic material (over a minimum of 35 % of the total surface of the outer sole) shall be classified in the Common Customs Tariff as follows:
64.02 Footwear with outer soles of leather or composition leather; footwear (other than footwear falling within heading No 64.01) with outer soles of rubber or artificial plastic material;
B. Other
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 21st day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, for the purpose of granting production aid to olive growers who produce less than 500 kilograms of oil, Article 17a of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that the Commission shall determine the average olive yields and oil yields over the four previous marketing years, in respect of the current marketing year;
Whereas these yields should be fixed by homogeneous production zone as defined in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1934/93 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1968/96 (6), together with the adjustments made by Regulations (EC) No 1840/94 (7), (EC) No 2658/95 (8) and (EC) No 1968/96 except as regards municipalities which have yields different from those of the zones to which they belong,

of 9 August 1985
re-establishing the levying of customs duties on chromium oxides and hydroxides falling within heading No 28.21 and originating in China, to which the preferential tariff arrangements set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3562/84 apply
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3562/84 of 18 December 1984 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1985 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of that Regulation, duties on the products listed in Annex II originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III shall be totally suspended and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 12;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 12, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes, or threatens to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-established, once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered shall be, as a general rule, 165 % of the highest maximum amount valid for 1980;
Whereas, in the case of chromium oxides and hydroxides falling within heading No 28.21, the individual ceiling was fixed at 166 300 ECU; whereas, on 22 January 1985, imports of these products into the Community originating in China reached that ceiling after being charged thereagainst; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference causes economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be re-established against China,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
As from 13 August 1985, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3562/84, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in China:

Whereas Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned; whereas that coefficient expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question; whereas, in view of the information provided by the United Kingdom on the period 1 January to 31 December 1995, the average ageing period in 1995 was eight years for Scotch whisky; whereas the coefficients for the period 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997 should be fixed;
