COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 720/91 of 21 March 1991 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2763/83 on arrangements permitting goods to be processed under customs control before being put into free circulation

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2763/83 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2369/89 (2), was based on Article 235 of the Treaty; whereas developments in Community law, and in particular the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, indicate that the subject matter covered by Regulation (EEC) No 2763/83 comes under Article 113 of the Treaty, as the most recent amendment of that Regulation already demonstrates;

Whereas Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2763/83 provides for the list of goods intended to undergo processing to be definitively amended by the Council acting unanimously; whereas it is therefore appropriate to adapt the decision-making process laid down by this provision to take account of Article 113 of the Treaty; whereas it is also appropriate, to facilitate the management of the arrangements, that the Council should delegate to the Commission the responsibility for establishing the list of goods qualifying for the arrangements and that the Commission should also be able to adopt any provisions necessary for applying the arrangements; whereas close and effective cooperation between the Member States and the Commission in this area should be organized within the Committee for Customs Procedures with Economic Impact,

The provisions necessary for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 31 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1999/85 (*).

(*) OJ No L 188, 20. 7. 1985, p. 1.'

3. The Annex shall be repealed.
