All of them, who will see or hear these, saluut! do know:
In this regard, we considered that the legislation on excise duty should be adapted to the Directives of the Council of the European Communities on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duty and on the holding and movement of goods. of that and their control (92/12/EEC of 25 February 1992; PbEG L 76), on the harmonization of the structure of excise duties on alcohol and alcoholic beverages (92/83/EEC of 19 October 1992; PbEG L 316), on the harmonization of the structure of excise duties on mineral oils (92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992; PbEG L 316), amending the Directives 72 /464/EEC and 79 /32/EEC on taxation, other than turnover taxes, on the consumption of manufactured tobacco ( 92 /78/EEC of 19 October 1992; PbEG L 316), on the approximation of the rates of excise duty on alcohol and alcoholic beverages (92/84/EEC of 19 October 1992; PbEG L 316), on the approximation of the rates of excise duty on mineral oils (92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992; PbEG L 316), on the approximation of taxes on cigarettes (92/79/EEC of 19 October 1992; PbEG L 316) and on the approximation of taxes on manufactured tobacco other than cigarettes (92/80/EEC of 19 October 1992; PbEG L 316);
