THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in poultrymeat1, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1574/932, and in particular Articles 3 and 5 (3) thereof,

Whereas it has been found that classification of certain poultry cuts presents problems resulting from the absence of precise definitions in the tariff and statistical nomenclature set up by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/873 as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3115/944; whereas these definitions should be laid down in order to assure uniform application of levies in the poultrymeat sector;

Whereas in application of Article 11 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 the tariff nomenclature applicable as a result of that Regulation is set out in the Combined Nomenclature; whereas it should therefore be amended;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
