Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1) established, on the basis of the Harmonized System, a goods nomenclature known as the combined nomenclature;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4142/87 (2) determines the conditions under which certain goods are eligible on import for a favourable tariff arrangements by reason of their end-use;
Whereas goods covered by the end-use provisions benefit on their release for free circulation from a reduced or zero rate of duty solely on the condition that they are being used for a specified purpose;
Whereas it is desirable that certain types of integrated circuit test equipment should benefit from relief from customs duty under end-use provisions on importation when destined for the functionality testing of integrated circuits; whereas it is  appropriate to introduce in the combined nomenclature subheadings with end-use provisions within HS code 9030 81 for such products;
Whereas the combined nomenclature should therefore be amended,
