THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,

(5) For ease of comprehension, in view of the large number of amendments coming into force on 1 January 2002, the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 should be replaced by a completely new version,
