EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Subject.: 

proposal  for a Council  Regulation amending Council Regulation 

(EEC) No 234/68 on the common organization of the market  in  live trees 
and other plants, bulbs, roots and the  like, cut  flowers and ornamental 
foliage 

The descriptions of goods and tariff heading numbers which appeared  in Council 
Regulation  (EEC) No 234/68 were adapted  to the terms of  the combined  nomenclature 
by Regulation  (EEC) No 3991/87.  That Regulation excluded  from  the common market 
organization  in question chicory plants and roots of subheading 0601  20 10 of the 
combined  nomenclature which were part of Chapter  12 of  the old Nimexe system. 

Experience has shown that  the commercial  characteristics of  these products are 
very close to those of other  subheadings of Chapter 6 of the combined 
nomenclature; they should  therefore be  included  in the common organization of the 
market  in live trees and other  plants, bulbs, roots and the  like, cut  flowers and 
ornamental  foliage. 

The proposal  does not have any  impact on the Community  budget. 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 

of 

amending Council  Regulation  (EEC) No 234/68 on the common 
organization of the market  in live trees and other plants, 
bulbs, roots and the  like, cut  flowers and ornamental  foliage 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing  the European Economic Community, and in 

particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal of the Commission, 

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 

Whereas Council  Regulation  (EEC) No 234/68 of 27 February  1968(1), as last 

amended by Regulation  (EEC) No 3991/87(2), excludes from the common market 

organization  in question chicory  plants and roots of subheading 0601 20 10 of 

the combined nomenclature; whereas experience has shown that the commercial 

characteristics of these products are very similar to those of products  in other 

subheadings of Chapter 6 of the nomenclature; whereas, therefore, they should be 

included  in the common market organization with effect  from 1 January 1993, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

(1) OJ No L 55, 2.3.1968, p. 1. 
(2) OJ No L 377, 31.12.1987, p. 19.
