# COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 241/2006

of 10 February 2006

amending Regulation (EC) No 1004/2001 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature

## Preamble

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff [^1] , and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

**(1)** The classification of a colour plasma-screen with installation diskettes in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1004/2001 of 22 May 2001 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature [^2] has led to classifications under CN code 8528 21 90 for the plasma-screen and 8524 91 00 for the installation diskettes. Since Note 6 to Chapter 85 of the Combined Nomenclature was amended with effect from 1 January 2002 and in view of the fact that the HS Committee agreed in October 2004 on the interpretation of this Note, Regulation (EC) No 1004/2001 is to be considered as incorrect.

**(2)** Regulation (EC) No 1004/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.

**(3)** The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
