THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposals from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas it is necessary to update the provisions concerningmode of transport in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75 of 24 June 1975 on the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between the Member States (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3367/82 (4);
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1900/85 (5) introduces Community export and import declaration forms corresponding to the specimen introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 679/85 (6); whereas that specimen provides for the recording of data concerning mode of transport to comply with the relevant measures provided for in the present Regulation; whereas both the said Regulations apply from 1 January 1988; whereas it therefore appears advisable to adopt that date for the extension of the statistical return on Community external trade to cover mode of transport,
