THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (), and in particular Articles 9 and 12 thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a goods nomenclature, hereinafter called the 'combined nomenclature`, to meet, at one and the same time, the requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and of the external trade statistics of the Community;

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3115/94 of 20 December 1994 amending Annexes I and II to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 which entered into force on 1 January 1995 took into account :

- changes in requirements relating to statistics and commercial policy, in particular by virtue of Council Decision 94/800/EC of 22 December 1994 concerning the conclusion on behalf of the European Community, as regards matters within its competence, of the agreements reached in the Uruguay Round multilateral negotiations (1986-1994) () and Council Regulation (EC) No 3231/94 of 22 December 1994 concerning certain measures resulting from the conclusion of negotiations under Article XXIV:6 and other measures necessary for simplification purposes (),

- the need to align or clarify texts;

Whereas it is necessary to implement, with effect from 1 July 1995, certain tariff measures, in particular for agricultural products as defined within the framework of the Uruguay Round multilateral negotiations;

Whereas it is appropriate for the Commission to adopt by means of a regulation to apply from 1 July 1995, a complete version of the combined nomenclature together with the corresponding autonomous and conventional rates of duty of the Common Customs Tariff, as it results from Decision 94/800/EC and Regulation (EC) No 3231/94 as well as other measures adopted by the Council or by the Commission ();

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 802/80 (), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2723/90 (), classified certain products as butter under subheading 0405 00 10 of te combined nomenclature; whereas this classification is no longer in line with the new structure of heading No 0405 of the combined nomenclature annexed to this Regulation; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 802/80 should therefore be repealed;
