The nomenclature for the products under Regulation (EEC ) 816/70 laying down
additional provisions for the common organisation of the market in wine figures
in Annex IV of that Regulation .
The additional note 5 "to Chapter 22 in the Common Customs Tariff concerning
wine with a registered designation of origin which only concerns five
products is formulated in such a way that it leads to requirement of two
documents at import of the same product .
The present proposal which is made under the efforts for simplification
undertaken "by the Commission has the effect to amend the provisions in question
and as a consequence the nomenclature in the Common Customs Tariff applicable
for the products concerned in order to bring that situation to an end .
The present proposal for a Regulation , based on Article 43 of the Treaty , requires
the Opinion of the European Ikrliament .  It concerns a technical amendment
without financial affect .
