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 the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions must be laid down concerning the tariff classification of a preparation composed of powdered milk (80 % by weight) and malt extract (20 % by weight), containing not less than 10 % but less than 30 % by weight of reducing sugars (expressed as maltose) derived from malt extract;

Whereas heading No 19.02 of the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 604/83 (3), covers inter alia preparations of malt extract, of a kind used as infant food or for dietetic or culinary purposes;

Whereas heading No 21.07 covers food preparations not elsewhere specified or included;

Whereas the product in question has the characteristics of a malt-based preparation falling within subheading 19.02 B; whereas, because the product in question contains less than 30 % by weight of reducing sugars (expressed as maltose) derived from malt extract, it cannot be classified in subheading 19.02 B I; whereas, consequently, it must be classified in subheading 19.02 B II;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
