The tariff suspensions provided for in this Regulation should therefore concern those CN codes.\n(4)\nCouncil Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nThe suspensions provided for in this Regulation are an extension of the suspensions provided for by Regulation (EC) No 179/2009 that expired on 31 December 2010. Since it is not in the interest of the Union that there be any interruption of the tariff treatment of the monitors covered by the suspension, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2011,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
