COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1624/97 of 13 August 1997 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 Commission Regulation (EC) No 1195/97 (2), and in particular Articles 9 and 12 thereof,

Whereas it can prove difficult to classify within the subheadings of code 4202 suitcases and similar containers that are made out of a combination of materials (e.g. an outer material of woven fabric that is coated with cellular plastic on the outside); whereas in the interests of uniform application of the combined nomenclature the distinction between the subheadings concerned must be decided;

Whereas to this end an Additional Note must be added to Chapter 42 of the combined nomenclature; whereas Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, as last amended, must be correspondingly amended;

Whereas the measures provided for in this regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Tariff and Statistical Nomenclature Section of the Customs Code Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The following Additional Note is added to Chapter 42 of the combined nomenclature in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, as last amended by Regulation (EC) 1624/97.

'1. For the purposes of the subheadings of code 4202, the term "outer surface" shall refer to the material of the outer surface of the container being visible to the naked eye, even where this material is the outer layer of a combination of materials which makes up the outer material of the container.`

Article 2

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

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

Done at Brussels, 13 August 1997.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1709/97 of 29 August 1997 concerning the stopping of fishing for blue whiting by vessels flying the flag of a Member State except Spain and Portugal

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 390/97 of 20 December 1996 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1997 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (2), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 711/97 of 22 April 1997 (3), provides for blue whiting quotas for 1997;

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;

Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of blue whiting in the waters of ICES divisions Vb (EC-zone), VI, VII by vessels flying the flag of a Member State except Spain and Portugal or registered in a Member State except Spain and Portugal have reached the quota allocated to the Member States for 1997;

Whereas catches of blue whiting in the waters of ICES divisions Vb (EC-zone), VI, VII by vessels flying the flag of Spain or Portugal or registered in Spain or Portugal have not reached the flat-rate quantity allocated to Spain or the quantity allocated to Portugal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Catches of blue whiting in the waters of ICES divisions Vb (EC-zone), VI, VII by vessels flying the flag of a Member State except Spain and Portugal or registered in a Member State except Spain and Portugal are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to the Community except Spain and Portugal for 1997.
