of 9  December 1987
laying down conditions for the entry of fresh table grapes of the variety Emperor  (Vitis
vinifera cv) falling within subheading 0806 10 11 of the combined nomenclature
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical  nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) N° 950/68 of 28 June 1968 on the Common Customs Tariff (2), as  last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 3529/87 (3), established the Common Customs Tariff on the basis  of the nomenclature of the Convention of 15 December 1950 concerning the nomenclature to be used  for the classification of goods in customs tariffs;
Whereas on the basis of Council Regulation (EEC) N° 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be  taken for the uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (4), as last  amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 2055/84 (5), Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 3034/79 (6), as last  amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, laid down conditions for the entry of fresh  table grapes of the variety Emperor (Vitis vinifera cv) falling within subheading 08.04 A I a) 1 of  the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 has repealed and replaced, on the one hand, Regulation (EEC) N°  950/68 in adopting the new tariff and statistical nomenclature (combined nomenclature) based on the  International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System and, on the  other hand, Regulation (EEC)
N° 97/69; whereas it is consequently appropriate, for reasons of  clarity, to replace Regulation (EEC) N° 3034/79 by a new regulation taking over the new  nomenclature as well as the new legal base;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 covers fresh table grapes of the variety Emperor (Vitis  vinifera cv) falling within subheading 0806 10 11 of the combined
nomenclature; whereas entry under  this subheading is subject to conditions laid down in the relevant Community
provisions;  whereas in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the combined nomenclature,  provision specifying those conditions must be laid down;
Whereas identification of the above products presents certain difficulties; whereas it can be  considerably simplified if the exporting country gives an assurance that the product exported  corresponds to the description of the product in question; whereas, consequently, entry of a  product under the subheading mentioned above should be authorized only where such product is  accompanied by a certificate of authenticity which is issued by an authority acting under the  responsibility of the exporting country and which provides such assurance;
Whereas it is appropriate to specify the form which such certificate must take and the conditions  for its use; whereas, furthermore, measures must be introduced to enable the Community to keep  check upon the conditions of issue of the said certificate; whereas accordingly certain obligations  should be imposed on the issuing authority;
Whereas the certificate of authenticity should be drawn up in an official Community language and,  where appropriate, an official language of the exporting country;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
