Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 (1) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2727/90 (2), refers to the nomenclatures of the Common Customs Tariff and NIMEXE; whereas the said nomenclatures have been replaced by the 'combined nomenclature' (CN), the codes and product descriptions of which replace those of the

other two nomenclatures from 1 January 1988; whereas

Article 1

(4) of the said Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 and

there should be no longer be a different classification for China; whereas Annexes II a and II b to the said Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 can accordingly be merged to form a single Annex II;

Whereas the Community's import arrangements have already been subject to various other amendments and whereas the Annexes to the said Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 should therefore be generally updated,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 is hereby amended as follows:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, duties on certain products 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 8;

Whereas, as provided for in Article 8, 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, equal to 6,3 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1988;

Whereas, in the case of products falling within CN code 2903 61 00, originating in Poland, the reference base is fixed at ECU 417 000; whereas, on 18 April 1991, imports of these products into the Community originating in Poland, reached the reference base in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be re-established against Poland,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

As from 11 November 1991, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in Poland:

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 24 (1) is replaced by the following:

'1. Private storage aid as provided for in Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 may be granted only where the storage period is at least 120 days. However, at the request of the storer, the minimum duration of storage shall be reduced to 90 days and the aid adjusted accordingly.'

2. In the first subparagraph of Article 26a (1), the words 'or, at the request of the storer, of 60 days,' are inserted after '90 days,'.
