    Are the Commission’s Explanatory Notes to subheadings 8525 80 91 and 8525 80 99 of the Combined Nomenclature (3) to be interpreted as meaning that a sequence of video recorded in separate files each having a duration of less than 30 minutes is a recording of ‘at least 30 minutes in a single sequence of video’ if, when the recording is played, the viewer cannot perceive the switch between different files?

    4.

    If the answer to question 1(a) or 1(b) is in the negative, and the answer to questions 2(a), 2(b) and 3 is in the affirmative:
