 ---pagebreak---                • EXPLANATORY            MEMORANDUM
          With effect from 1 January 1978 amendments are to be made to
the Customs Co-operation Council Nomenclature which will have
repercussions on the Common Customs Tariff . The latter will therefore
be formally amended with effect from that date .
          Consequently , there will no longer be agreement between the
Common Customs Tariff and the tariff specifications set out in Council
Regulation ( EEC ) N° 706/ 76 , which laid down the tariff arrangements
applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the
processing of agricultural products originating in the ACP States or the
OCT , for this Regulation refers to the 1976 version of the CCT .
          In order to align the tariff specifications for the correct and
uniform application of Regulation ( EEC ) N° 706 / 76 , the latter must be
amended .
          Furthermore , there have been amendments to product nomenclature
in the case of certain agricultural regulations , i.e. , Regulation ( EEC )
N° 805 / 68 ( beef and veal ), Regulation ( EEC ) N° 816/ 70 ( wine ) and
Regulation ( EEC ) N° 516/ 77 ( products processed from fruit and vegetables ).
          These amendments will be applicable on 1 January 1978 .
          In order to preserve unchanged the extent of the concessions
granted to the ACP States and the OCT by Regulation ( EEC ) N° 706/ 76 , the
latter must be adapted , because there are references in it to the Regulations
in question as they stood in 1976 .
          All the amendments referred to above are the subject of this
Regulation .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
in particular Articles 43 and 113 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ,
Whereas in consequence of the Customs Co-operation Council Recommendation
the Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature will be amended in a number of
instances with effect from 1 January 1978 ;
Whereas other amendments have been made autonomously to the Common
Customs Tariff ;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to adapt certain tariff specifications
set out in Council Regulation ( EEC ) N° 706/ 76 of 30 March 1976 ( 1 ) so that ,
by means of exact alignment of these tariff specifications with the amended
Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature , the tariff advantages previously granted
to the African , Caribbean and Pacific States and to the overseas countries
and territories are preserved unchanged ,
