The modified conditions refer to changes of the product description, classification, duty rates or end-use requirement. The suspensions in respect of which modifications are necessary should be deleted from the list of suspensions in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013, and the modified suspensions should be inserted into that list.\n(4)\nIn the interest of clarity, the endnote indicating a newly introduced measure or a measure with amended conditions listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should be deleted and the entries modified by this Regulation should be marked with an asterisk.\n(5)\nRegulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nAs the changes regarding the suspensions for the products concerned provided for in this Regulation have to apply from 1 July 2016, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency. In addition, in order to adequately ensure the benefit of the suspension classified under TARIC code 7616 99 10 30, the newly inserted TARIC code 8708 99 97 50 should apply from 1 January 2016,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
