COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1203/86
of 23 April 1986
on the classification of goods falling within subheading 85.21 D II of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 (1) of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2055/84 (2) and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff nomenclature, it is desirable to specify the classification of silicon discs, having undergone selective diffusion whereby discrete zones are formed, mounted on a molybdenum support;
Whereas in the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (3), as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1069/86 (4), subheading 85.21 D covers, inter alia, diodes, transistors and similar semiconductor devices and subheading 85.21 E covers parts; whereas both these subheadings could be taken into consideration with regard to the classification of the aforementioned articles;
Whereas the discs as described above, although not provided with terminals, leads or a housing, already in their present form, constitute semi-conductor devices and should therefore be classified under subheading 85.21 D in accordance with General Rule 1 for the interpretation of the nomenclature;
Whereas these discs are not wafers within the meaning of subheading 85.21 D I and should therefore be classified within subheading 85.21 D II;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
