COMMISSION DECISION of 10 March 1995 amending Decision 93/231/EEC, authorizing, in respect of the marketing of seed potatoes in all or part of the territory of certain Member States, more stringent measures against certain diseases than are provided for in Annexes I and II to Council Directive 66/403/EEC (95/76/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), as last amended by Directive 93/3/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by Finland,
Whereas the Commission, by Decision 93/231/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 95/21/EC (4) has authorized, in respect of the marketing of seed potatoes in all or part of the territory of certain Member States, more stringent measures against certain diseases than are provided for in Annexes I and II to Directive 66/403/EEC;
Whereas, from a comparison of the measures taken by Finland in relation to certain areas in respect of their home production of seed potatoes and the Community grades of basic seed potatoes, it can be assumed that:
- 'EC grade 1` satisfies more stringent conditions,
- 'EC grade 2` is equivalent to home production intended for seed potatoes,
and
- 'EC grade 3` is equivalent to home production intended for potato production;
Whereas Finland, for certain parts of its territory, should therefore be authorized to restrict the marketing of seed potatoes only to the Community's basic potato grades established by Commission Directive 93/17/EEC (5);
Whereas such authorization is in accordance with Member States obligations under the common rules on plant health laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC (6), as last amended by Directive 94/13/EC (7);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1897/96 of 1 October 1996 amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 on common rules for imports from certain third countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries (1), introduced certain quantitative quotas, listed in Annex II to that Regulation, applicable to the People's Republic of China; whereas one such quota applies to glassware falling within HS/CN heading 7013;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1735/96 (2) classifies glass-fronted clip-frames, consisting of a mechanically-gathered glass sheet with worked edges, a printed paper sheet and a piece of hardborard to support the picture, held together by clips of base metal, within CN code 7013 99 90;
Whereas, as a result, such clip-frames originating in the People's Republic of China are now subject to a quantitative quota throughout the Community;
Whereas the effects of this classification go beyond what is necessary for the appropriate protection of the sectors of Community industry concerned; whereas these clip-frames should therefore be excluded from the quota arrangements introduced by Regulation (EC) No 519/94;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 519/94 excludes certain sports footwear and footwear involving special technology from the quotas applicable to footwear of HS/CN codes 6402 99, 6403 91, 6403 99 and 6404 11;
Whereas the application of the above exclusion by the customs authorities has been discussed in the Customs Code Committee; whereas the present wording of the exclusion has been found to pose a number of practical problems in the field; whereas HS/CN codes 6402 99, 6403 91 and 6403 99 do not cover footwear which is designed for a sporting activity and has, or has provision for the attachment of, spikes, sprigs, stops, clips, bats or the like, with a non-injected sole; whereas the wording of the exclusion in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 must therefore be corrected in the interests of the proper and uniform application of Community legislation;
Whereas Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 and the corresponding provisions of Annex III thereto should be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 shall be replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
In Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 519/94, the text concerning footwear shall be replaced by the following:

(4) In accordance with Community legislation Member States are authorised to import equidae from third countries or in the case of official regionalisation from parts of the territory of a third country which have been free from glanders for the past six months prior to export.
