COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC)  No  2797/98

of  17  December  1998

replacing  the  Annex  to  Regulation  (EC)  No  1255/96  temporarily  suspending  the
autonomous  Common  Customs  Tariff  duties  on  certain  industrial  and  agricultural
products

THE  COUNCIL  OF  THE  EUROPEAN  UNION,

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European
Community,  and  in  particular  Article  28  thereof,

Whereas  for  ease  of  comprehension,  in  view  of  the  large
number  of  amendments  coming  into  force  on  1  January
1999,  the  Annex  to  Regulation  (EC)  No  1255/96  should
be  replaced  by  a  completely  new  version,

Having  regard  to  the  proposal  from  the  Commission,

HAS  ADOPTED  THIS  REGULATION:

Whereas  it  is  in  the  Community’s  interest  to  suspend
partially  or  totally  the  autonomous  Common  Customs
Tariff  duties  for  a  number  of  new  products  not  listed  in
the  Annex  to  Regulation  (EC)  No  1255/96 (1);

Whereas  a  number  of  products  which  are  referred  to  in
the said Regulation should be withdrawn from the list in
the  Annex  because  it  is  no  longer  in  the  Community’s
interest  to  maintain  suspension  of  autonomous  Common
Customs  Tariff  duties,  or  because  they  are  exempt  from
duty under GATT or because the description needs to be
altered  in  the  light  of  technical  developments;

Article  1

the  Annex 

The  Annex  to  Regulation  (EC)  No  1255/96  shall  be
replaced  by 
this  Regulation.  The
autonomous  Common  Customs  Tariff  duties  on  these
products shall be suspended at the rate indicated for each
product.

to 

Article  2

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

Whereas,  for  the  sake  of  clarity,  products  whose
description needs to be altered should be regarded as new
products;

This  Regulation  shall  be  applicable  from  1  January
1999.

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

Done  at  Brussels,  17  December  1998.
