COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1154/2005

of 18 July 2005

amending the codes and descriptions of certain products listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 234/79 of 5 February 1979 on the procedure for adjusting the Common Customs Tariff nomenclature used for agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2) contains the combined nomenclature currently in force.

(2) In accordance with the outcome of the negotiations with the United States of America concluded in 1995, certain blends of residues from the manufacture of starch from maize with certain other types of residue, in particular screenings from maize and residues of maize steep-water used for the manufacture of alcohol or of other starch derived products imported into the Community were exempted from customs duty. Council Regulation (EC) No 344/96 (3) consequently incorporated into the Combined Nomenclature a subheading 2309 90 20 to classify this product separately.

(3) As the result of an omission, Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (4) was not adapted accordingly. This adaptation must therefore be made, with effect from the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, by incorporating code CN 2309 90 20 into the list of products included in Annex I to that Regulation.

(4) Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
