COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 426/2006

of 9 March 2006

amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on
the Common Customs Tariff

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

(5)

Having regard to the Treaty
Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,

establishing the European

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Since the amendment introduced by this Regulation is to
be applied from the same date as the Combined Nomen-
clature for 2006, laid down in Commission Regulation
(EC) No 1719/2005 (3), this Regulation should enter into
force immediately and apply from 1 January 2006,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

In the Combined Nomenclature in Annex I to Council
Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1),
customs duty is
suspended, autonomously and for an indefinite period,
on certain goods
in Chapter 27 when they are
intended for specific processes, provided that certain
conditions laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC)
No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions
for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No
2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2)
are met.

Certain waste oils intended for recycling, classed under
CN code 2710 99 00, do not currently enjoy this
exemption.

For environmental reasons connected to the recycling of
waste oils, the same tariff treatment should be applied to
waste oils and oils from the same group, provided that
the legal and technical conditions are met. It is therefore
in the interest of the Community to suspend, autono-
mously and for an indefinite period, customs duty on
such products.

(4)

Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be
amended accordingly.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Duties) of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87,

291 to 300 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No
2454/93 (OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1) and subsequent
amendments).’.
