53The defendant also disputes that the judgment of the Court of Justice in Case C-390/95 P Antillean Rice Mills and Others [1999] ECR I-769 is relevant to the assessment in the present case. It states that that judgment concerned a safeguard clause in Council Decision 91/482/EEC of 25 July 1991 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community (OJ 1991 L 263, p. 1), which specifically required the Commission, when it envisaged taking such measures, to inquire into the negative effects which its decision might have on the economy of the overseas countries and territories in question as well as on the undertakings concerned. It observes that there is no such requirement in Article 9 or indeed any other article of the Nomenclature Regulation, which constitutes the legal basis for the regulation at issue in the present case.
