22It is apparent from recital (11) in the preamble to Regulation No 2700/2000 that the purpose of the amendment of Article 220(2)(b) of the Customs Code was to define, for the particular case of preferential arrangements, the concepts of error by the customs authorities and good faith of the person liable for payment. Thus, without having recourse to an amendment of the substance, the aim of that article is to explain the above concepts, which were already contained in the initial version of Article 220 and defined by the case-law of the Court (see, inter alia, Joined Cases C-153/94 and C-204/94 Faroe Seafood and Others [1996] ECR I-2465, paragraphs 92 and 97; Case C-15/99 Sommer [2000] ECR I-8989, paragraphs 35 to 37; order in Case C-30/00 William Hinton & Sons [2001] ECR I-7511, paragraphs 68 to 73, and Ilumitrónica, paragraphs 42 and 43).
