    (2017/C 92/04)

    Pursuant to Article 9(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) are hereby amended as follows:

    On page 95, between the explanatory note to CN subheading ‘2103 90 30 Aromatic bitters of an alcoholic strength by volume of 44,2 % to 49,2 % vol containing from 1,5 % to 6 % by weight of gentian, spices and various ingredients and from 4 % to 10 % of sugar, in containers holding 0,5 litre or less’ and the explanatory notes to CN heading ‘2104 Soups and broths and preparations therefor; homogenised composite food preparations’, the following text is inserted:

    2103 90 90

    Other

    This subheading includes products, which would otherwise fall within Chapter 22, prepared for culinary purposes and rendered unsuitable for consumption as beverages.

    This subheading includes in particular ‘cooking liquors’ which are products referred to colloquially as ‘cooking wines’, ‘cooking Port’, ‘cooking Cognac’ and ‘cooking brandy’. Cooking wines consist of ordinary wine or of de-alcoholised wine, or of a mixture of both, to which salt, or a combination of several seasonings (e.g. salt and pepper) has been added, rendering the product unsuitable for consumption as a beverage. In general, those products contain at least 5 g/l of salt.’
