In that context it is appropriate to remove from the legislation in force those acts which no longer have real effect.\n(2)\nRegulation (EEC) No 429/73 of the Council was adopted in order to determine the reduced fixed component of the import duties for processed agricultural products originating in Turkey and imported in the framework of the Additional Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey, signed on 23 November 1970.\n(3)\nDecision No 1/95 of the EC-Turkey Association Council of 22 December 1995 on implementing the final phase of the Customs Union lays down the rules for determining the customs duties for processed agricultural products originating in Turkey and imported into the European Union. Therefore Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 has become obsolete.\n(4)\nFor reasons of legal certainty and clarity, Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 should therefore be repealed,\nHAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
