                   EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987
  establishes, with effect from January 1988, a goods
  nomenclature called the combined nomenclature to meet the
  requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and of the
  external trade statistics of the Community.
  On the basis of the combined nomenclature, the Commission
  established an integrated tariff of the European Communities
  referred to as the "Taric". Article 5 ( 4 ) of the
  abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 states that
  Member States which adopt subdivisions for national purposes
  other than statistics may, on informing the Commission,
  defer the use of Taric subheadings and the corresponding
t 10th and 11th digits until 31 December 1989 at the latest.
  The aim of the attached draft regulation is to amend the
  date 31 December 1989 to take account of one Member State's
  difficulty in integrating the Taric into its national tariff
  by 1 January 1990 and its difficulty in adapting its
  statistical management system by 1 January 1991.
  The aim of this proposal is therefore to defer the deadline
  for the entry into force of the Taric code to 1 January
  1991 .
