COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 1495/89
of 29 May 1989
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 on the common organization of the market in fishery products and Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3468/88 (2), and in particular Article 30 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, up to 31 December 1987, a GATT-bound customs duty exemption applied to fresh, chilled and frozen herring from 15 February to 15 June each year; whereas a new customs tariff based on the harmonized commodity description and coding system has been applied since 1 January 1988; whereas, when the change was made from the old nomenclature to the harmonized system, the abovementioned exemption was not applied to fresh and chilled herring flaps and whereas a customs duty of 15 % is levied on these;
Whereas, in the intervening period, significant imports of herring flaps have been recorded on the Community market; whereas the customs duty exemption should therefore be reintroduced for them;
Whereas Annex VII to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas Annex VII to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 appears in the Common Customs Tariff; whereas the Common Customs Tariff adopted by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 20/89 (4), should therefore be amended,
