Whereas:

(1) It is necessary to make a distinction between mushrooms prepared or preserved by vinegar or acetic acid of subheading 2001 90 50 on the one hand and mushrooms otherwise prepared or preserved than by vingegar or acetic acid of subheading 2003 10 on the other hand;

(2) According to the text of the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading No 2001, amongst other additivies, salt can be added to products of that heading. In this case salt has been added for the purposes of the preparation only;

(3) In order to be able to make the distinction with products of subheading 2003 10, it seems necessary to limit the total content of salt in products of subheading 2001 90 50;

(4) It seems appropriate to limit the salt content to a maximum of 2,5 % by weight;

(5) It is necessary to clarify Additional Note No 1 to Chapter 20 to reflect this decision;

(6) Points 3 and 4 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1196/97(3), that previously served to classify such products on the basis of their vinegar content, irrespective of the salt content, should be repealed;

(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Additional Note 1 of Chapter 20 of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is replaced by: "1.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2491/98(2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1702/1999(3) has amended Regulation (EC) No 1222/94(4), which lays down, in respect of certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I (formerly Annex II) to the Treaty, common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds.

(3) The transmission of data relating to the certificates is essential for the sound management of the refunds granted in respect of goods falling outside Annex I. In that regard, the changeover from 1999 to 2000 could lead to disruptions, the nature and intensity of which cannot be predicted nor resolved in advance. As the first certificates cannot be issued before December 1999, their issue could be disrupted from the end of December and such disruption could continue into January. It is therefore appropriate to postpone the date from which certificates may be requested. to 1 February 2000.

(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinon of the Management Committee for horizontal questions relating to trade in processed agricultural products not covered by Annex I,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
