Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2828/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down common rules on verification of the use and/or destination of imported products falling within CN codes 1515 90 59 and 1515 90 99

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2828/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down common rules on verification of the use and/or destination of imported products falling within CN codes 1515 90 59 and 1515 90 99
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2046/92 (2), and in particular Article 16 (6) thereof,
Whereas the Annex to Regulation No 136/66/EEC lays down the descriptions and definitions of the olive oils and olive residue oils marketed within each Member State and traded between the Member States and with third countries;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2658/91 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 620/93 (4), lays down the characteristics of olive oils and olive residue oils and the relevant methods of analysis;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5), whose Annexes I and II were last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2505/93 (6), provides that oils falling within CN codes 1515 90 59 and 1515 90 99 are to be subject to import duties equal to 15  % of the customs value;
Whereas the physico-chemical characteristics of the oils falling within the abovementioned tariff heading are such as to prevent their being marketed as products accepted for marketing as olive oil; whereas, however, these characteristics may be  modified simply by mixing with other oils; whereas, therefore, to ensure that the system of levies on olive oil imports is applied correctly, measures must be taken to ensure that oils falling within CN codes 1515 90 59 and 1515 90 99 cannot be diverted  from the uses to which they must be put;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3566/92 (7), on the documents to be used for the purpose of implementing Community measures entailing verification of the use and/or destination of goods supplies the customs instruments needed in order to monitor  the movement of imported oils within the Community and to prevent their being diverted to uses not provided for in the agricultural legislation applicable to the sector in question; whereas applying that Regulation in the case of imports of oils falling  within CN codes 1515 90 59 and 1515 90 99 may reduce the risk which currently exists until the special rules for the application of the Common Customs Tariff are amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
