COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 2273/87 of 15 June 1987 replacing  Annexes to Regulation (EEC) N° 3420/83 on import arrangements for products originating in  State-trading countries not liberalized at Community level
THE COUNCIL OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article  113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Annex II to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3420/83, of 14 N°vember 1983, on import  arrangements for products originating in State-trading countries, not liberalized at Community  level(1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 3784/85(2), lists textile products classified by  category; whereas in respect of products covered by the Arrangement regarding International Trade  in Textiles (MFA) the classification is identical to that used in the bilateral textile agreements  concluded by the Community with a number of third countries for the period 1983 to 1986;
Whereas that classification has been amended in the new textile agreements concluded by the  Community for 1987 to 1991 and it is therefore desirable to incorporate the amended classification  in the import arrangements provided for in Regulation (EEC) N° 3420/83;
Whereas, on account of these amendments, changes have to be made to Annex III to Regulation (EEC)  N° 3420/83;
Whereas the Agreement on trade in textiles between China and the Community(3) on the other hand, is  not due to expire until 31 December 1988, and the classification used for that Agreement has not  been amended; whereas accordingly the existing classification in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) N°  3420/83 will continue to apply to that country subject to a number of technical changes occasioned  by the alteration for 1987 of the NIMEXE codes in force in 1986,
