THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 of 21 December 1987 fixing conditions for the application of preferential customs duties on imports of certain flowers originating in Cyprus, Israel, Jordan and Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1300/97(2), and in particular Article 5(2)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The purpose of Commission Regulation (EC) No 214/2003(3) is to repeal Commission Regulation (EC) No 24/2003 of 6 January 2003 suspending the preferential customs duties and re-establishing the Common Customs Tariff duty on imports of multiflorous (spray) carnations originating in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip(4) and re-establish the preferential customs duties on imports of multiflorous (spray) carnations originating in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
(2) The title, the recitals and the operative part of Regulation (EC) No 214/2003 contain an error in that they refer to uniflorous (bloom) carnations rather than multiflorous (spray) carnations. Regulation (EC) No 214/2003 should therefore be corrected with retrospective effect for imports of multiflorous (spray) carnations originating in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip,
