No common understanding was found with Belarus to renew this agreement.

In consequence, it is considered appropriate that Belarus be included in the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 517/94. Regulation (EC) No 517/94 should therefore be amended accordingly.(2)Amendments to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs TariffOJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1. also affect certain codes in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 517/94.(3)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee established by Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 517/94,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
