                      COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )

                                 Explanatory Memorandum
Council Regulation ’(EEC ) N° 2658 / 87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature
and on the Common Customs tariff established , on the basis of the " Harmonized
system", the Combined Nomenclature from 1 January 1988 .
With the introduction of this nomenclature , certain egg products ( cooked eggs
in shell , moulded egg products ) which under the Common Customs Tariff until
31 . December 1987 were classified in heading 21.07 and were therefore not
considered Annexe II - products , are now classified under headings 04 07 and
04 08 , and are subject to levies .    Since cooked eggs in ;Shell and moulded egg
products may be used in the same way or as a replacement for preserved eggs
included in Annex II and specified in Regulation ( EEC ) n° 2771 / 75 on the
Common organisation of the market in eggs , it is logical that the products
mentioned are also be included in Regulation ( EEC ) N° 2771 / 75 .
This is the aim of the present proposal which adapts Article 1 and the Annex
of Regulation ( EEC ) N° 2771 / 75 to the Combined Nomenclature Commission
Regulation ( EEC ) N° 4000 / 87 by which this adaptation had provisionnaly be
done , will then be repealed .

 " long eggs " were classified In a subheading of heading No 21.07 ( Food
