THETHE 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 Regulation (EEC) No 2055/84 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the Nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions should be adopted for the tariff classification of certain fish, fresh, chilled or frozen, of the species Salmo gairdnerii or Salmo irideus reared in sea water or in brackish water and which may weigh up to approximately six kilograms;

Whereas subheading 03.01 A I a) of the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3147/85 (4) refers to trout;

Whereas fish are classified in the Nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff according to their zoological species;

Whereas the fish of the species Salmo gairdnerii or Salmo irideus are trout from the zoological point of view;

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