THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 92/83/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on alcohol and alcoholic beverages(1), and in particular Article 27(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 3199/93(2) provides that the denaturants which are employed in each Member State for the purposes of completely denaturing alcohol in accordance with Article 27(1)(a) of Directive 92/83/EEC are to be described in the Annex to that Regulation.

(2) Pursuant to Article 27(1)(a) of Directive 92/83/EEC, Member States are required to exempt from excise duty alcohol which has been completely denatured in accordance with the requirements of any Member State, provided that such requirements have been duly notified and accepted in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraphs 3 and 4 of that Article.

(3) Bulgaria and Romania have communicated the denaturants which they intend to employ.

(4) The Commission transmitted the said communications to the other Member States on 1 January 2007, in the case of Bulgaria, and on 9 January 2007, in the case of Romania.

(5) Objections have been received concerning the requirements notified. Therefore, the procedure referred to in Article 27(4) of Directive 92/83/EEC has been duly followed and the requirements communicated by Bulgaria and Romania should be included in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 3199/93.

(6) Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Excise Duties,
