COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1894/98 of 3 September 1998 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3046/92 with regard to the simplification of the statement of net mass

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3046/92 (2), and in particular Article 23 (3) and Article 30 thereof,

Whereas the quantity of goods is a reliable and stable item of information which is necessary for comparisons of international trade;

Whereas the quantity units are used for checking the reliability of the data collected and for calculating indices;

Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3046/92, of the quantity units, net mass, in kilograms, is the main indicator and should in principle be mentioned for every type of goods but is not the most appropriate unit of measurement for certain products; whereas the party responsible for providing information should therefore be exempted from indicating net mass in such cases;

Whereas, Regulation (EC) No 3046/92, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2385/96 (3), already contained an initial list of products for which the parties responsible for providing information are not required to specify the net mass; whereas, insofar as possible, other goods should be added to this list;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are consonant with the opinion of the Committee on statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annex IV to Regulation No 3046/92 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 January 1999.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 3 September 1998.
