Whereas provision must be made to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff as regards classification of cherries which are provisionally preserved in a mixture of water and ethyl alcohol for use, inter alia, in the manufacture of chocolate products;
Whereas heading No 08.11 of the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (3) of 28 June 1968, as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1615/74 (4) of 25 June 1974, covers "fruit provisionally preserved (for example, by sulphur dioxide gas, in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solutions), but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption";
Whereas the "Explanatory Notes" to the Brussels Nomenclature make it clear that the abovementioned heading No 08.11 applies to fruit which has been treated solely to ensure its provisional preservation during transport or storage prior- to use, provided that it remains unsuitable for immediate consumption in that state ; whereas, consequently, this heading excludes fruit which has been treated in a way which does not make it unsuitable for immediate consumption;
Whereas cherries put up in a mixture of water and ethyl alcohol, with an alcoholic strength sufficient for preservation of the fruit for a limited period, are not thereby rendered unsuitable for immediate consumption ; whereas cherries thus treated cannot fall within heading No 08.11;
Whereas, on the other hand, subheading 2006 B I of the Common Customs Tariff applies to fruit otherwise prepared or preserved, containing added spirit, suitable for immediate consumption;
Whereas it follows that the cherries referred to above must fall within subheading 20.06 B I of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
Cherries put up in a mixture of water and ethyl alcohol shall be classified as fruit suitable for immediate consumption in the following subheading of the Common Customs Tariff:
20.06 Fruit otherwise prepared or preserved, whether or not containing added sugar or spirit:
B. Other:
I. Containing added spirit
