| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| A galvanised article consisting of a steel U-shaped bolt threaded at both ends, two hexagon nuts and a cast steel clamp with two holes for the passage of the bolt.
  The article is used for holding, for example, two or more wires together by placing the wires in the U-bolt, fitting the clamp over the wires and tightening the nuts.

   (*1) See image. | 7326 90 98 | Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7326 , 7326 90 and 7326 90 98 .
  As the function of the article consisting of a bolt, two nuts and a clamp is different from that of a bolt, that is, it does not tighten and loosen together directly different elements, classification under heading 7318 as a bolt or similar article is excluded (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 7326 , point (1)).
  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7326 90 98 as other articles of steel. |

(3)

An electronic device (so-called ‘CCD area image sensor’) in a 60-pin ceramic package consisting of:

—

3 charge coupled device (CCD) chips linearly arranged with an X-ray sensitive active area of approximately 220 × 6 mm. Each CCD chip has 1 536  × 128 pixels with a pixel size of 48 × 48 μm,

| — | 3 fibre optic plates with scintillators mounted on each CCD chip. |
| --- | --- |

—

3 fibre optic plates with scintillators mounted on each CCD chip.

The device has an output of integrated circuits.

The device is installed in X-ray cameras to generate images. The fibre optic plates with scintillators convert the X-rays into visible light which is projected onto the CCD sensor. The CCD sensor converts the light into an electrical signal which is processed into an analogue or digital image.

The device is designed for X-ray imaging.

8529 90 92

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(b) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8529 , 8529 90 and 8529 90 92 .

As the device is composed of several components, such as light sensitive cells, integrated circuits and fibre optic plates with scintillators, classification under heading 8541 as a photosensitive semiconductor device is excluded.

As the device is suitable for use solely or principally with a digital X-ray camera, it is therefore to be classified under CN code 8529 90 92 as a part of television cameras of subheading 8525 80 19 .

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1115/2012

of 28 November 2012

temporarily suspending customs duties on imports of certain cereals for the 2012/13 marketing year

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (‘Single CMO’ Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 187 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In order to promote the supply of cereals on the Community market during the first few months of the 2012/13 marketing year, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 569/2012 (2) suspended until 31 December 2012 customs duties for the import tariff quota for common wheat of low and medium quality opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 (3). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

In order to promote the supply of cereals on the Community market during the first few months of the 2012/13 marketing year, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 569/2012 (2) suspended until 31 December 2012 customs duties for the import tariff quota for common wheat of low and medium quality opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 (3).

| (2) | The outlook for the cereals market of the European Union for the end of the 2012/13 marketing year would suggest that prices will remain buoyant, given the low stock levels and the Commission’s current estimates regarding the quantities which will actually be available from the 2012 harvest. In order to make it easier to maintain a flow of imports conducive to EU market equilibrium, there is a need to ensure continuity in cereal imports policy by keeping the temporary suspension of customs duties on imports during the 2012/13 marketing year until 30 June 2013 for the import tariff quota to which this measure currently applies. For the same reasons, the measure should be extended to cover the import tariff quota for feed barley opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2305/2003 (4). |

For the same reasons, the measure should be extended to cover the import tariff quota for feed barley opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2305/2003 (4).

| (3) | Moreover, traders should not be penalised in cases where cereals are en route for importation into the Union. Therefore, the time required for transport should be taken into account and traders allowed to release cereals for free circulation under the customs-duty suspension arrangements provided for in this Regulation, for all products whose direct transport to the Union has started at the latest on 30 June 2013. The evidence to be provided showing direct transport to the Union and the date on which the transport commenced should also be established. |

Article 1

1.   The application of customs duties to imports of common wheat falling within CN code 1001 99 00, of a quality other than high quality as defined in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 (5), and of barley falling within CN code 1003 shall be suspended for the 2012/13 marketing year for all imports under the reduced-duty tariff quotas opened by Regulations (EC) No 1067/2008 and (EC) No 2305/2003.

2.   Where the cereals referred to in paragraph 1 undergo direct transport to the Union and such transport began at the latest on 30 June 2013, the suspension of customs duties under this Regulation shall continue to apply for the purposes of the release into free circulation of the products concerned.

Proof of direct transport to the Union and of the date on which the transport commenced shall be provided, to the satisfaction of the relevant authorities, by the original transport document.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 January to 30 June 2013.

(notified under document C(2012) 8518)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2012/737/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 82/894/EEC of 21 December 1982 on the notification of animal diseases within the Community (1), and in particular the first and second indent of Article 5(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 82/894/EEC on the notification of animal diseases within the Union lays down the criteria for the notification of those animal diseases, the occurrence of which must be notified by the affected Member State to the Commission and to the other Member States. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Directive 82/894/EEC on the notification of animal diseases within the Union lays down the criteria for the notification of those animal diseases, the occurrence of which must be notified by the affected Member State to the Commission and to the other Member States.

| (2) | Annex I to Directive 82/894/EEC listing the diseases of which the occurrence must be notified to the Commission and the other Member States, includes equine encephalomyelitis, among the diseases affecting terrestrial animals, without distinguishing its different types. For the sake of clarity and to provide valuable information of animal or public health importance about the causal pathogen agent the different types of equine encephalomyelitis should be explicitly listed in this Annex. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Annex I to Directive 82/894/EEC listing the diseases of which the occurrence must be notified to the Commission and the other Member States, includes equine encephalomyelitis, among the diseases affecting terrestrial animals, without distinguishing its different types. For the sake of clarity and to provide valuable information of animal or public health importance about the causal pathogen agent the different types of equine encephalomyelitis should be explicitly listed in this Annex.

| (3) | In addition, the diseases rabies, anthrax, bovine tuberculosis, bovine brucellosis, enzootic bovine leukosis and ovine and caprine brucellosis have been widely eradicated by most Member States. As a result, outbreaks thereof have become less frequent in large areas of the Union. From now on, outbreaks should be notified to the Commission and to the other Member States. It is therefore necessary to add these diseases to Annex I. |

In addition, the diseases rabies, anthrax, bovine tuberculosis, bovine brucellosis, enzootic bovine leukosis and ovine and caprine brucellosis have been widely eradicated by most Member States. As a result, outbreaks thereof have become less frequent in large areas of the Union. From now on, outbreaks should be notified to the Commission and to the other Member States. It is therefore necessary to add these diseases to Annex I.

| (4) | To avoid administrative burden, under certain circumstances it is appropriate to require weekly notifications of primary outbreaks and monthly notifications of secondary outbreaks of the abovementioned diseases. |

(4)

To avoid administrative burden, under certain circumstances it is appropriate to require weekly notifications of primary outbreaks and monthly notifications of secondary outbreaks of the abovementioned diseases.

| (5) | Certain Member States and regions thereof have not yet achieved the officially free status for non-exotic diseases such as bovine tuberculosis, bovine brucellosis, enzootic bovine leukosis or ovine and caprine brucellosis, as regulated by Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (2) and Council Directive 91/68/EEC of 28 January 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in ovine and caprine animals (3). To avoid a disproportionate quantity of notifications, it should not be required to notify outbreaks of the abovementioned diseases in non-free Member States or regions thereof. |
| --- | --- |

Certain Member States and regions thereof have not yet achieved the officially free status for non-exotic diseases such as bovine tuberculosis, bovine brucellosis, enzootic bovine leukosis or ovine and caprine brucellosis, as regulated by Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (2) and Council Directive 91/68/EEC of 28 January 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in ovine and caprine animals (3). To avoid a disproportionate quantity of notifications, it should not be required to notify outbreaks of the abovementioned diseases in non-free Member States or regions thereof.

| (6) | In the future, notifications to the Commission and to the World Animal Health Information System of the World Organisation for Animal Health (hereinafter ‘OIE’) concerning animal diseases will be entered in one system (the Animal Disease Information System — ADIS). It is thus appropriate, where possible, to use in Annex I to Directive 82/894/EEC the same terminology as used by the OIE. |
