THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 of 28 March 1983 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty (1), and in particular Article 143 (1) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2288/83 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1798/84 (3), sets out the list of biological or chemical substances provided for in Article 60 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 918/83; whereas it has emerged from additional information received from Member States that the said Regulation should again be amended in such a way as to include on the list certain substances for which there is at present no equivalent production within the customs territory of the Community;

Whereas it is necessary to provide for the retrospective application of these provisions to permit the import of such substances as from 1 July 1984; whereas, for the sake of clarity, the list set out in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2288/83 should be replaced by a new list including all the biological or chemical substances eligible for relief from import duties;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
