COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1746/85

of 26 June 1985

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2289/83 laying down provisions for the implementation of Articles 70 to 78 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 of 28 March 1983 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty (1), and in particular Article 143 thereof,

Whereas experience gained since the entry into force of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2289/83 (2) has shown that the phrase to be entered on Control Copy T No 5 does not correctly inform the customs authorities of the Member States of destination of their obligation to ensure that the institution or organization receiving the article will use it in accordance with the conditions laid down for the continued grant of relief of customs duty; whereas that phrase ought therefore to be amended;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
