be inserted into Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87;

in addition to the codes for the destinations or stable
groupings of countries, codes for third countries are
listed in the nomenclature of countries and territories for

between the Member States. Sectoral regulations may
also contain codes for groupings of countries;

the measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of all the Management
Committees concerned,
