of 14 December 1987
amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
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 15 thereof,
Whereas the Community is a signatory to the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, hereinafter called the 'Harmonized System', which is to replace the Convention of 15 December 1950 on Nomenclature for the Classification of Goods in Customs Tariffs;
Whereas a combined nomenclature of goods is to be introduced with effect from 1 January 1988 based on the harmonized system nomenclature which will satisfy simultaneously the requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and of the statistics of the Community's external trade and of trade between Member States;
Whereas the tariff nomenclature resulting from the application of Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80 of 11 November 1980 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (2) is contained in the Common Customs Tariff; whereas, consequently it is necessary to draw up the descriptions of goods and the tariff numbers appearing in that Regulation in accordance with terms of the combined nomenclature based on the harmonized system,
