COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 535/94 of 9 March 1994 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3080/93 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas, to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature, provisions should be laid down for the classification of salted meat and edible meat offal falling within CN code heading 0210, in order to distinguish them from fresh, chilled or  frozen meat and edible meat offal; whereas a total salt content of 1,2 % or more by weight appears an appropriate criterion for distinguishing between these two types of products;
Whereas an additional note to this effect should be inserted in Chapter 2 of the Combined Nomenclature; whereas Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee - Tariff and Statistical Nomenclature Section,
