COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) N° 3759/87
of 30 November 1987
amending Regulation (EEC) N° 3796/81 on the common  organization of the market in fishery products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article  43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas the Community is a contracting party to the International Convention on the Harmonized  Commodity Description and Coding System, hereinafter called the 'harmonized system', which replaces  the Convention of 15 December 1950 on nomenclature for the classification of goods in customs  tariffs;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical  nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (3) introduced a combined goods nomenclature, based  on the harmonized system, which will be applied from 1 January 1988 and which meets the  requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and of the nomenclature of goods for the external  trade statistics of the Community;
Whereas the tariff nomenclature which appears in Regulation (EEC) N° 3796 81 (4), as last amended  by
Regulation (EEC) N° 3879/86 (5), forms part of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas, as a  result, it is necessary to express the descriptions of goods and tariff heading numbers which  appear in the said Regulation according to the terms of the combined nomenclature;
Whereas, for reasons of simplification, it is necessary in a few cases to modify slightly the  contents of the Annexes;
Whereas aquatic invertebrates, other than crustaceans and molluscs, and preparations thereof are at  the moment classified in subheadings 01.06 C, 02.04 C II, 02.06 C III and 16.02 B of the Common  Customs Tariff; whereas they are consequently covered by Council Regulation (EEC) N° 827/68 of 28  June 1968 on the common organization of the markets in certain products mentioned in Annex II to  the Treaty (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 2966/80 (7); whereas in the harmonized  system they will be classified within heading Nos 0307 and 1605; whereas it is therefore desirable  that the said aquatic invertebrates and preparations thereof be coverd by the present Regulation;  whereas this means that they are no longer covered by Regulation (EEC) N° 827/68,
