COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3798/91  of 19 December 1991  amending Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and the Common Customs Tariff and Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 determining the groups of products and the  special provisions for calculating levies on milk and milk productsTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 14 (6) thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,  Whereas only non-modified whey is currently classified under CN code 0404 10 in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2) while modified whey is classified under CN code 0404 90; whereas, from 1 January 1992, CN code 0404 10 is to include modified  whey;  Whereas Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 provides for an import levy to be applied on the products covered by that Regulation;  Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 (3) determines the groups of products and the special provisions for calculating levies on milk and milk products; whereas, pursuant to the said Regulation,  the levy applied to products classified under CN code 0404 90, and therefore to modified whey, is considerably higher than that applied to products classified under CN code 0404 10, and therefore to non-modified whey; whereas the difference in the  levies is necessary to prevent distortions in imports from third countries; whereas it is therefore necessary to ensure that the amendments to CN code 0404 10 do not result in changes in the levies applied under Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79; whereas, to  this end, the necessary amendments should be made to that Regulation, and additional subheadings should be inserted into CN code 0404 10 of the combined nomenclature in Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 to ensure the proper classification of the products  concerned in order to apply the appropriate levies,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  1.
