THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1600/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2325/96 (4), provides for the application of the IMA-1 certificate (inward monitoring arrangement certificate) arrangements to imports coming from Switzerland under the special arrangement concluded between that country and the Community; whereas these arrangements have not functioned adequately because of administrative difficulties; whereas it is therefore necessary to replace them with a system based exclusively on the Community import licence arrangements; whereas that Regulation should therefore be amended;
Whereas certain order numbers in Annex 7 to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the common customs tariff (5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 480/97 (6), have been changed; whereas the corresponding codes should therefore be altered;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
