COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 127/2008
of 13 February 2008
entering a designation in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Oscypek (PDO))
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second sentence of Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Article 6(2) and pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, Poland’s application to register the designation Oscypek was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2).
(2)
Slovakia objected to this registration in accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 citing the points of objection mentioned in Article 7(3)(a), (b) and (c) thereof. Specifically, Slovakia stated in its statement of objection that registering the designation Oscypek would undermine the designation Slovenský oštiepok, for which Slovakia had applied to the Commission for registration as a protected geographical indication (3).
(3)
By letter dated 30 May 2007, the Commission invited the Member States concerned to start a consultation procedure.
(4)
An agreement was reached between Poland and Slovakia, which was notified to the Commission by the letter received on 28 June 2007.
(5)
Under this agreement, Poland and Slovakia recognise that the designations Oscypek and Slovenský oštiepok refer to cheeses that are now produced quite differently, despite the fact that they share the same history and tradition. According to Poland and Slovakia, the key differences between the two cheeses (concerning the raw material used, the production method and physical, chemical and organoleptic properties) should not give rise to confusion amongst consumers. Poland and Slovakia agree that both designations Oscypek and Slovenský oštiepok are legitimate and Poland underscores that registration of the designation Oscypek as a protected designation of origin would not undermine the right of Slovakian producers to use the designation oštiepok either alone or alongside other terms.
(6)
The agreement reached by the interested parties does not necessitate amending the information published in accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. Accordingly the designation Oscypek should be registered in accordance with Article 7(4) of this Regulation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The designation specified in the Annex to this Regulation shall be entered in the register.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 10 August 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Bruker-time averaging computer, model B-E 50", may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/695/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 10 February 1981, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Bruker-time averaging computer, model B-E 50", to be used for research into the nature of metal-non metal transition in liquid semiconductors and of the motion of ions in ionic conductors, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 23 June 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a computer;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,

Article 1
The apparatus described as "Bruker-time averaging computer, model B-E 50", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 10 February 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
