concerning the classification of goods within subheading 16.02 B III b) ex 1 ex aa) (33) of the nomenclature contained in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 149/86 fixing the export refunds on beef and veal

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 Regulation (EEC) No 2055/84 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas provisions are needed in order to ensure the uniform application of the nomenclature contained in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 149/86 (3), with a view to the classification of a preparation of uncooked, minced but not finely homogenized bovine meat, characterized by the following analytical data:

Meat proteins (% of Nitrogen×6,25) 14,08 %

Fat 24,60 %

1.2.3 // Meat without fat // (% of Nitrogen×100) 3,55 // 63,40 %

not containing offal, the remainder being made up of non-meat products;

Whereas subheading 16.02 B III b) ex 1 ex aa) (22) of the abovementioned nomenclature covers other preparations of bovine meat containing 80 % or more but less than 90 % of not finely homogenized meat excluding offal and fat, and whereas subheading 16.02 B III b) ex 1 ex aa) (33) covers the same preparations containing 60 % or more but less than 80 % of meat;

Whereas the preparation in question, which contains 63,4 % of meat without fat, cannot fall within subheading 16.02 B III b) ex 1 ex aa) (22); whereas this preparation has the characteristics of goods falling within subheading 16.02 B III b) ex 1 ex aa) (33) and must therefore be classified under that subheading;

Whereas, since the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature has not delivered an opinion, the Commission has proposed to the Council the provisions to be adopted, under the procedure provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 97/69;

Whereas, three months after the proposal was submitted to it, the Council has not acted and it is therefore appropriate for the Commission to adopt the proposed provisions under the aforementioned procedure in Regulation (EEC) No 97/69,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
