COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 168/96 of 29 January 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 519/94 on common rules for imports from certain third countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 of 22 December 1994 on the common rules for imports and repealing Regulation (EC) No 518/94 (1) applies, inter alia, to products covered by the ECSC Treaty, without prejudice to any possible measures to apply an agreement specifically concerning ECSC products;
Whereas, however, products covered by the ECSC Treaty do not fall within the material scope of Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/83 (2);
Whereas, in the interests of consistency and in order to eliminate administrative complications caused by the lack of uniform treatment of ECSC products vis-à-vis the products covered by Regulation (EC) No 519/94, the scope of that Regulation should be broadened to include the products covered by the ECSC Treaty and the Regulation amended accordingly,
