Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries(1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the deficiencies observed by a Community inspection to Peru with regard to controls of the sanitary conditions of the production of bivalve molluscs, the Commission adopted Decision 2001/338/EC(2) which suspended the import of bivalve molluscs from or originating in Peru, with the exception of Pectinidae products under certain conditions.
(2) Decision 2001/338/EC provides that it is to be reviewed on the basis of guarantees provided by the Peruvian competent authorities and on the basis of the results of a Community inspection on the spot.
(3) A Community inspection visit was carried out in May 2002 and the Peruvian competent authorities have provided satisfactory guarantees as regards the monitoring of the production areas of La Mina/Bahia Lagunilla and Isla Tortuga. The conclusions of the inspection visit allow to conclude that the guarantees provided by the Peruvian authorities are satisfactory and that import of Pectinidae from the proposed areas could be authorised under the conditions already established by Decision 2001/338/EC for other aquaculture areas.
(4) Decision 2001/338/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In paragraph 2 of Article 2 of Decision 2001/338/EC, point (a) is replaced by the following:
"(a) Pectinidae harvested in the aquaculture areas of Pucusana (001), Guayanuna (002), La Mina/Bahia Lagunilla (003) and Isla Tortuga (004), provided that they are eviscerated."
This Decision shall apply from 15 July 2003.

COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2738/82
of 11 October 1982
on the classification of goods falling within subheading 48.01 C II of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions must be laid down concerning the tariff classification of paper and paperboard in rolls, made from pulp of coniferous wood obtained by the 'high yield' process;
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2655/82 (3), refers under subheading 48.01 C II to other kraft paper and kraft board, and under subheading 48.01 F to other paper and paperboard not mentioned in the preceding subheadings of heading No 48.01; whereas for the classification of the goods in question the abovementioned subheadings merit consideration;
Whereas the abovementioned process involves earlier interruption of the chemical cooking process, in consequence of which a considerable part of the lignin remains in the fibres; whereas, therefore, a microscopic examination carried out by the colour-change method would give results which, pursuant to the explanatory notes to subheading 48.01 C of the Common Customs Tariff, would lead to the exclusion of such goods from subheading 48.01 C II and their classification under subheading 48.01 F;
Whereas, however, a microscopic examination solely of the structure of the fibres reveals the product to be chemical sulphate pulp, since the fibres are long and intact and therefore exhibit no traces of mechanical wood-pulping, which would have caused them to be shredded during pulping in the pulping machines;
Whereas, therefore, it must be recognized that the said paper and paperboard, manufactured by the abovementioned process, fulfil the requirements for inclusion in subheading 48.01 C II of the Common Customs Tariff, since the remaining quantity of lignin is not of great importance; whereas, consequently, the goods in question must be classified under that subheading;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
Paper and paperboard in rolls, made from chemical pulp of coniferous wood obtained by the 'high yield' process, shall be classified in the Common Customs Tariff under subheading:
48.01 Paper and paperboard (including cellulose wadding), in rolls or sheets:
C. Kraft paper and kraft board:
II. Other
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 21st day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
