Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 1326/2013 (2) amended Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 and replaced CN codes 9619 00 to 9619 00 90 by CN codes 9619 00 to 9619 00 89.
(2) CN codes 9619 00 71 to 9619 00 89 cover sanitary towels (pads) and tampons, napkins and napkin liners for babies, and similar articles, of other materials than of textile materials. The articles of those CN codes can, for example, be made of paper pulp, paper, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres. They can also be made of combinations of those materials.
(3) Due to divergent views on the classification of articles falling under CN subheadings 9619 00 71 to 9619 00 89 and in order to facilitate such classification throughout the territory of the Union, it is necessary to further clarify the scope of those new subheadings.
(4) In the interest of legal certainty, it is thus necessary to insert a new additional note in Chapter 96 of the Combined Nomenclature to ensure a uniform interpretation of those subheadings throughout the Union.
(5) Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
In Chapter 96 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the following Additional note 1 is inserted:
‘1. Subheadings 9619 00 71 to 9619 00 89 include goods of paper pulp, paper, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres.
(a) an inner layer (for example, of nonwovens) designed to wick fluid from the wearer's skin and thereby prevent chafing;
(b) an absorbent core for collecting and storing the fluid until the product can be disposed of;
(c) an outer layer (for example, of plastics) to prevent leakage of the fluid from the absorbent core.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

(3) The Council requested that the Commission undertake a market outlook report when the 2003 reforms of the common market organisation in milk and milk products had been fully implemented with a view to assessing the appropriateness of allocating additional quotas.
(4) This report has been conducted and concluded the current situation of the Community and world markets and their projected situation in the period to 2014, warrant an additional increase in quota by 2 % to facilitate the production of more milk within the Community to help satisfy emerging market requirements for dairy products.

(2) Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 provides furthermore that the liaison agency shall forward all the farm returns to the Commission not later than nine months after the end of the accounting year to which they relate.

Whereas Part III, Section I, Annex 2 in the combined nomenclature, which constitutes Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), contains the list of products to which an entry price applies and also, in respect of each of those products, the scale of entry prices used for the tariff classification of imported products and for determining the import duties applicable; whereas the application of the said entry prices in the case of sour cherries, products which are used almost exclusively by the processing industry, can represent an excessive burden for the industry; whereas lower entry prices should therefore be set for those products; whereas the entry price to be fixed must take into account in particular the average unit values recorded in trade over a representative period; whereas the ad valorem autonomous rates of duties for those products should also be reduced to the same level as the ad valorem conventional rates of duties;
Whereas the period of importation for sour cherries starts on 15 June; whereas, in order to allow the industry to be supplied under normal conditions from the beginning of the processing period, the necessary transitional measures have been adopted in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1739/95 of 17 July 1995 adopting certain transitional measures relating to the entry price arrangements applicable to sour cherries (2),
1. Part III, Section I, Annex 2 in the combined nomenclature, which constitutes Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. At the time of the annual reduction of the ad valorem conventional rates of duty in respect of sour cherries falling within CN codes 0809 20 31, 0809 20 41, 0809 20 51 and 0209 20 61, decided upon in the framework of implementing the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the corresponding ad valorem autonomous rates of duties shall be reduced to the same level and according to the same timetable.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
