Commission Regulation (EC) No 1437/2003
of 12 August 2003
amending Annexes I, II, IIIB and VI to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1309/2002(2), and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Amendments effected by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1832/2002 of 1 August 2002 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff(3), make it necessary to amend Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 as well. For reasons of clarity, that Annex should be replaced altogether.
(2) The entry into force of the new Constitutional Charter of the State union of Serbia and Montenegro, which renamed the former "Federal Republic of Yugoslavia" as "Serbia and Montenegro" with effect from 4 February 2003, makes it desirable to replace the name of that former Republic wherever it appears in Annexes II, IIIB and VI to Regulation (EC) No 517/94.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 517/94 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
