Commission regulation (EC) No 578/2002

of 20 March 2002

amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2433/2001(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a goods nomenclature, hereinafter called the "Combined Nomenclature", to meet, at one and the same time, the requirements of the Common Customs Tariff, the external trade statistics of the Community and other Community policies concerning the importation or exportation of goods.

(2) Following the amendments to the nomenclature annexed to the International Convention on the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System pursuant to the recommendation of 25 June 1999 of the Customs Cooperation Council, note 8 to Chapter 29 was inserted and the wording of heading 2937 of the Combined Nomenclature was amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2031/2001(3), with effect from 1 January 2002.

(3) As a result of the new note 8 to Chapter 29 and the new wording of heading 2937, it is necessary to update Annex 3 (list of international non-proprietary names (INNs), provided for pharmaceutical substances by the World Health Organisation, which are free of duty) of the Combined Nomenclature in order to take into account the new scope of that heading.

(4) Since more than 100 substances of Annex 3 to the Combined Nomenclature, currently classified elsewhere than within heading 2937, are transferred to heading 2937, it is appropriate to replace the said Annex with a new Annex.

(5) Annex I to Council regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) This measure does not involve any adjustment of duty rates. Furthermore, it does not involve either the deletion of substances or addition of new substances to Annex 3 to the Combined Nomenclature.

(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

Annex 3 to Section II of Part Three of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 January 2002.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

fixing the export refunds on eggs

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in eggs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1516/96(2), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.

(2) The present market situation in certain third countries and that regarding competition on particular third country markets make it necessary to fix a refund differentiated by destination for certain products in the egg sector.

(3) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in eggs that the refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit Community participation in world trade and would also take account of the nature of these exports and their importance at the present time.

(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The list of codes of products for which, when they are exported, the export refund referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 is granted, and the amount of that refund shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables(1), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,
