COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 473/2008
of 29 May 2008
on amending Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the adjustment of CN codes for certain ozone depleting substances and mixtures containing ozone depleting substances
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1) and in particular Article 6(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In the Combined Nomenclature for 2007, laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1214/2007 (3), the combined nomenclature codes (CN codes) for certain substances and products have been amended.
(2)
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000, relating to ozone depleting substances and mixtures containing ozone depleting substances, refers to some of the CN codes which were amended by Regulation (EC) No 1214/2007. It is therefore necessary to adjust that Annex. In view of the number of changes to be made, it is appropriate for reasons of clarity to replace that Annex in its entirety.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
Since Regulation (EC) No 1214/2007 entered into force on 1 January 2008, this Regulation should apply from the same date.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 29 May 2008.
