Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (3) and 16 (1) and (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/96 of 18 June 1996 on the implementation of the concessions set out in Schedule CXL drawn up in the wake of the conclusion of the GATT XXIV.6 negotiations (3), and in particular Article 1 (1) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1600/95 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 503/97 (5), replaces, in respect of imports coming from Switzerland under the special arrangement concluded between that country and the Community, the IMA-1 certificate arrangements with a system based solely on the Community import licence; whereas it has been found that certain provisions do not cover all the products subject to the system; whereas the provisions concerned should accordingly be adapted;
Whereas the tariff quotas for milk products referred to in the GATT/WTO Agreement and not specified by country of origin must be adjusted with effect from 1 July 1997; whereas, therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1600/95 should be amended;
Whereas ambiguities have been found in the notifications referred to in Annex VIII; whereas, to guarantee correct and complete notifications, that Annex should be amended and the time allowed for the notifications should be extended from three to five days;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
