COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1500/94 of 21 June 1994 amending Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 249 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 20 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 stipulates that preferential tariff measures, whether contained in agreements which the Community has concluded with certain countries or groups of countries and which provide for the granting of preferential tariff treatment, or adopted unilaterally by the Community in respect of certain countries, groups of countries or territories, as well as autonomous suspensive measures providing for a reduction in, or relief from, import duties chargeable on certain goods, shall apply only at the declarant's request where the goods concerned fulfil the conditions laid down by those measures;
Whereas it is important to the operation of the Community's commercial policy to have comprehensive statistics on the volume of trade in goods benefiting from those measures;
Whereas, in order for such statistics to be of use, the codes entered in box 36 of the Single Administrative Document must be common to all the Member States;
Whereas the Member States should nevertheless be given the opportunity to adapt their customs computer systems; whereas provision should therefore be made for a transitional period during which national codes which are compatible with Community codes may be used;
Whereas provision should be made for the recording, from 1 January 1996, of information relating to goods for which an export refund has been requested;
Whereas, in the absence of an opinion of the Customs Code Committee on the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission, the Council is required to adopt the necessary provisions,
