THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2055/84 (2), and in particular Articles 3 and 4 thereof,
Whereas in the case of tobacco having the characteristics indicated in the text of subheading 24.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff, originating in countries or territories benefitting from the generalized system of preferences, transitional measures allowing the certificate of authenticity to be replaced by a certificate of origin type A, including an attestation of authenticity, were laid down by Article 8 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3035/79 (3) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3492/85 (4); whereas certain countries subsequently informed the Commission of the names of their official bodies authorized to issue certificates of authenticity; whereas those bodies should be included in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3035/79;
