(2) The products referred to in the said Regulation, for which
it is no longer in the Community’s interest to maintain
suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff
duties or for which it is necessary to amend the description
in the light of technical developments, are to be withdrawn
from the list in the Annex thereto;

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 is hereby amended
as follows:

1.

2.

the products set out in Annex I to this Regulation shall be
