Re:

Reference for a preliminary ruling — Bundesfinanzhof — Interpretation of Article 4(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2193/2003 of 8 December 2003 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America (OJ 2003 L 328, p. 3) — Application of additional customs duties to products exported from the United States of America to the Community after the entry into force of that regulation for which it can be demonstrated that they were already on their way to the Community, with no possibility of changing their destination, when those duties were first applied

Operative part of the judgment

Article 4(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2193/2003 of 8 December 2003 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America must be interpreted in a manner consistent with its wording, namely that products for which it can be demonstrated that they are already on their way to the European Community on the date of entry into force of that regulation, and whose destination cannot be changed, are not to be subject to the additional duty.
