Pursuant
2000 (2), laying down certain provisions for the imple-

the units of quantity, net mass, in kilograms, is the main
indicator and should in principle be mentioned for every
type of goods; however, for certain products, it is not
the most appropriate unit of measurement; the party
responsible for providing information should therefore
be exempted from indicating net mass in such cases.

Regulation (EC) No 1901/2000 has drawn up a list of
products for which the parties responsible for providing
information are exempted from indicating net mass; that
list must be adapted to take account of the changes

updates of the Annex, resulting from the annual changes in
the Combined Nomenclature, an explanatory note will be
published in the Official Journal of the European Communities
(C series)’ shall be deleted.

2. Annex II shall be replaced by the text appearing in the

Annex to this Regulation.

This Regulation shall enter
into force on the third day
following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Union.
