COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 936/79  of 11 May 1979  on the classification of meat of bovine animals under subheading 02.01 A II a) 4 aa) of the Common Customs Tariff
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 280/77 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions must be laid down concerning the tariff classification of separated forequarters of bovine animals, in a fresh or chilled state, from which the atlas bone has been removed;
Whereas subheading 02.01 A II a) 4 aa) of the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 882/79 (4), refers to meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled, unboned (bone-in);
Whereas Note 1 A e) to Chapter 2 of the Common Customs Tariff precisely defines separated forequarters, indicating in particular that they are the front part of a half-carcass comprising all the bones ; whereas such products which do not include the atlas bone cannot therefore be considered to be separated forequarters;
Whereas the products in question are to be classified as meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled, other, unboned (bone-in) under subheading 02.01 A II a) 4 aa);
Whereas the measures proved for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
