COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1039/92 of 27 April 1992 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on 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 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1943/91 (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 964/91 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3411/91 (4), classifies certain provisionally preserved mushrooms of the species Agaricus under CN code 2003 10 10 because they are completely cooked; whereas these mushrooms, which are used as a starting material in the preservation industry, are of considerable economic importance; whereas specific subheadings should therefore be created for them; whereas, at the same time, Additional Note 2 to Chapter 20 of the combined nomenclature, which defines cultivated mushrooms, can be deleted;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The combined nomenclature in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5) is hereby amended as follows:

1. Additional Note 2 to Chapter 20 is deleted. Additional Notes 3 to 7 become Additional Notes 2 to 6 respectively.

2. Headings 0711 and 2003 of the combined nomenclature are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

The amendments to the subheadings of the combined nomenclature provided for in this Regulation shall be applied as subdivisions of the Integrated Tariff of the European Communities (Taric) until their inclusion in the combined nomenclature under the conditions laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

Done at Brussels, 27 April 1992. For the Commission
