COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 196/91 of 21 January 1991 amending, in respect of products which are subject to national quantitative restrictions,

Annex I to Regulation (EEC) N° 288/82 on common rules for imports

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the instruments establishing common organization of agricultural markets and the instruments concerning processed agricultural products adopted in pursuance of Article 235 of the Treaty, in particular the provisions of those instruments which allow for derogation from the general rule that all quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect are replaced solely by the measures provided for in those instruments,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 288/82 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 3156/90 (2), refers, with regard to the description and codification of the products originating in third countries not liberalized within the Community and listed in Annex I thereto, to the Common Customs Tariff

nomenclature and the NIMEXE nomenclature; whereas

these two nomenclatures have been replaced by a new nomenclature known as Combined Nomenclature (CN), whose codes and product descriptions replace those contained in the first two nomenclature as from 1 January 1988; whereas Annex I to Regulation (EEC) N° 288/82 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annex I to Regulation (EEC) N° 288/82 is hereby replaced by the Annex attached to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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, 21 January 1991.

For the Council
