ITALIAN AND ENGLISH TEXTS .
9 IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES , THE GERMAN VERSION MUST BE READ IN THE LIGHT OF THE OTHER LANGUAGE VERSIONS .
10 IN ORDINARY LANGUAGE , THE CONCEPT OF ASSEMBLY IS TAKEN TO MEAN THE OPERATION WHEREBY THE COMPONENTS ( OF A MECHANISM , A DEVICE OR A COMPLEX OBJECT ) ARE ASSEMBLED IN ORDER TO RENDER IT SERVICEABLE OR TO MAKE IT FUNCTION .
11 THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT IS THEREFORE , ON THE ONE HAND , THAT THE DISASSEMBLED ARTICLE MUST NOT BE USABLE FOR THE PURPOSES EXPECTED OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT AND , ON THE OTHER HAND , THAT THE COMPONENT PARTS OF THE PRODUCT MUST NORMALLY , IN ORDER TO BE OF USE , BE ASSEMBLED SO AS TO CONSTITUTE THE FINISHED PRODUCT .
12 IT IS APPARENT FROM THE FILE ON THE CASE THAT THE PRODUCTS IN QUESTION , FRUIT-JUICE CONCENTRATES AND FLAVOUR CONCENTRATES , HAVE DIVERSE USES IN THE FORM IN WHICH THEY ARE IMPORTED AND MAY BE MARKETED SEPARATELY ; MIXING THEM IS MERELY ONE POSSIBILITY .
13 AS A RESULT , FOR THE PURPOSES OF TARIFF CLASSIFICATION AT THE TIME OF IMPORTATION , IT IS WHOLLY UNNECESSARY TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE LIQUIDS MAY BE MIXED OR ' ' ASSEMBLED ' ' WHEN SUCH A PROCEDURE IS NEITHER NECESSARY NOR CLEARLY CERTAIN TO TAKE PLACE .
14 THAT INTERPRETATION IS MOREOVER CONFIRMED BY PARAGRAPH VI OF THE EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE CUSTOMS COOPERATION COUNCIL NOMENCLATURE , ACCORDING TO WHICH ARTICLES WHOSE VARIOUS COMPONENTS ARE INTENDED TO BE ASSEMBLED EITHER BY SIMPLE MEANS ( NUTS , BOLTS AND THE LIKE ) OR , FOR EXAMPLE , BY RIVETING OR WELDING , MUST BE REGARDED AS UNASSEMBLED OR DISASSEMBLED .
15 MOREOVER , ACCORDING TO PARAGRAPH VII OF THOSE NOTES , THE CONTESTED RULE DOES NOT GENERALLY APPLY TO THE PRODUCTS IN SECTIONS I TO VI ( CHAPTERS 1 TO 38 OF THE COMMON CUSTOMS TARIFF ).
16 IT IS THEREFORE APPROPRIATE TO STATE IN REPLY TO THE NATIONAL COURT THAT THE SECOND SENTENCE OF RULE 2 ( A ) OF THE GENERAL RULES FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF THE NOMENCLATURE OF THE COMMON CUSTOMS TARIFF MUST BE INTERPRETED AS MEANING THAT MAHALEB-CHERRY CONCENTRATE AND BLACK-CURRANT CONCENTRATE , ON THE ONE HAND , AND , ON THE OTHER , MAHALEB-CHERRY AND BLACK-CURRANT FLAVOUR CONCENTRATES , EXTRACTED FROM THOSE FRUITS , MAY NOT BE REGARDED AS ARTICLES IMPORTED UNASSEMBLED OR DISASSEMBLED , EVEN WHERE THE FRUIT-JUICE CONCENTRATES AND THE FLAVOUR CONCENTRATES , WHICH ARE SOLD AT THE SAME PRICE , ARE MIXED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE USE OR BOTTLING .
