THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(2)

The incorporation, into the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part, of all of the tariff preferences granted to Chile under the Community’s scheme of generalised tariff preferences has been completed with the consolidation effected by Decision No 2/2006 of the EU-Chile Association Council of 16 October 2006 on the amendment of Annex I to the Agreement (2).

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Generalised Preferences Committee,
