These changes may affect the mineral oil industry because certain mixing operations under the customs warehousing procedure and in free zones are not permitted anymore as ‘usual forms of handling’ because they result in a different eight-digit CN code.
(2) A solution should be found to allow mixing of gas or fuel oils not containing biodiesel with gas or fuel oils containing biodiesel, classified in Chapter 27 of the CN, under the customs warehousing procedure and in free zones to continue as before the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 on 1 January 2012.
(3) Mixing gas or fuel oils with biodiesel should be allowed, so that separate storage of both types of goods is not required. However, taking account of the Additional Note 2 in Chapter 27 of the Combined Nomenclature the mixture obtained should contain less than 0,5 %, by volume, of biodiesel or gas or fuel oils respectively.
(4) Annex 72 to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The amendment should enter into force with retroactive effect in order to allow for extinguishing customs debts which were incurred since 1 January 2012 because of the introduction of the new CN codes.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Annex 72 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
