Subject.:        proposal for a Council Regulation amending Council Regulation
           (EEC) No 234/68 on the common organization of the market in live trees
          and other plants, bulbs, roots and the like, cut flowers and ornamental
          foliage
The descriptions of goods and tariff heading numbers which appeared in Council
Regulation (EEC) No 234/68 were adapted to the terms of the combined nomenclature
by Regulation (EEC) No 3991/87. That Regulation excluded from the common market
organization in question chicory plants and roots of subheading 0601 20 10 of the
combined nomenclature which were part of Chapter 12 of the old Nimexe system.
Experience has shown that the commercial characteristics of these products are
very close to those of other subheadings of Chapter 6 of the combined
nomenclature; they should therefore be included in the common organization of the
market in live trees and other plants, bulbs, roots and the like, cut flowers and
ornamental foliage.
The proposal does not have any impact on the Community budget.
