THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, and in particular Article 11 (4) thereof,
Whereas it has been noted that the classification of pig carcases and half-carcases poses problems arising from the fact that the manner in which the half-carcases are derived from the whole carcase as defined in the tariff and statistical nomenclature established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2588/95, does not correspond exactly to technical and commercial practices; whereas this definition must be adjusted in order to ensure that the duties in the Common Customs Tariff are uniformly applied in the pigmeat sector;
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 states that the rates of duty of the Common Customs Tariff are to apply to the products subject to the common organization of the market in pigmeat;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75, the tariff nomenclature resulting from the application of that Regulation is incorporated in the Common Customs Tariff; whereas it should therefore be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
