THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1183/82 (2), and in particular Article 14 (6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 of 18 December 1979 determining the groups of products and the special provisions for calculating levies on milk and milk products and amending Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 on the Common Customs Tariff (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1191/82 (4), lays down certain conditions for the entry into the Community of certain cheeses falling within heading No 04.04 of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas, following bilateral agreements concluded under GATT with Austria and Finland, the Regulation in question should be adjusted in order to put into effect the Community's undertakings in respect of those countries;
Whereas, moreover, changes should be made to Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 to take account of a judgment of the Court of Justice of 9 July 1981 (5);
Whereas the tariff nomenclature resulting from application of this Regulation is used in the Common Customs Tariff; whereas the Common Customs Tariff laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1191/82, should therefore be amended,
