This rule of uniformity shall also apply in respect of the  levy.'3Article 8 (4) (c) is deleted.4Paragraphs 4 and 5 of Article 9 are replaced by the  following:'4.

The Council, acting by a  qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall determine the general rules for the  application of the preceding paragraphs, which may derogate from Article 8 as regards the  application of paragraph 4, and the chemical products referred to in paragraph 3.'5The following  indent is added to Article 9 (6):'-the measures referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph  4.'Article 2This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in  the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall apply from 1 July 1985.
