COMMISSION DECISION of 7 March 1983 amending Decision 73/351/EEC setting up an Advisory Committee on Customs Matters (83/111/EEC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Whereas, in order to obtain the opinions of professional and consumer circles on problems arising from the operation of the customs union, the Commission set up an Advisory Committee on Customs Matters by its Decision 73/351/EEC (1), as last amended by Decision 81/342/EEC (2); Whereas experience has shown that the number of representatives of agriculture is not sufficient to ensure that the agri-food section, which has gained increasing importance in the past years, be represented within this category and therefore participate usefully in the work of the Committee; whereas an additional seat should therefore be provided for that category, HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
