COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 December 1983
amending Commission Decision 81/135/EEC establishing that the apparatus described as 'EG and G PAR-OMA 2 System' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/637/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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (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 Decision 81/135/EEC of 18 February 1981 (4), the Commission found that the apparatus known as 'EG and G PAR-OMA 2 System', which was the subject of an application made by the United Kingdom Government on 22 September 1980, could not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties because the apparatus in question could not be deemed to be scientific;
Whereas the above Decision was taken after consulting the expert group referred to in Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79; whereas, taking into consideration new information which was brought to the notice of the aforementioned group when it was examining an application for duty-free importation of an apparatus of a type closely related to the one which was the subject of Decision 81/135/EEC, it has become apparent that at the date when the apparatus known as 'EG and G PAR-OMA 2 System' referred to above was ordered, it should have been deemed to be scientific because of its objective technical characteristics and the use to which it was to be put; whereas apparatus suitable for such use was not manufactured in the Community; whereas it was therefore justified to admit the apparatus concerned free of duty;
Whereas, in consequence, Decision 81/135/EEC referred to above must be amended to take account of facts brought to light after its adoption,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The text of Article 1 of Commission Decision 81/135/EEC is replaced by the following:
'The apparatus described as "EG and G PAR-OMA 2 System", which is the subject of an application made by the United Kingdom on 22 September 1980, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.'
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1418/2006
of 26 September 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 2805/95 fixing the export refunds in the wine sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Articles 63(3) and 64(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Pursuant to Article 63(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, to the extent necessary to enable the products listed in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of that Regulation to be exported on the basis of the prices for those products on the world market and within the limits of the Agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, the difference between those prices and the prices in the Community may be covered by an export refund.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 October 2009
concerning the extension of uses of algal oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. as a novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document C(2009) 7933)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2009/778/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
On 14 January 2008 the company Martek Biosciences Corporation made a request to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom for an extension of the uses as novel food ingredient of the oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp.
(2)
On 4 September 2008 the competent food assessment body of the United Kingdom issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that the extension of uses of the oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. as a food ingredient was acceptable.
(3)
The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 25 September 2008.
(4)
Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5)
In their objections Member States raised concerns about elevated intake levels of omega-3 fatty acids and in particular DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
(6)
However, the main source of omega-3 fatty acids is fish-oil. In the foods of the categories for which the addition oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. was requested omega-3 fatty acids can be provided either from fish oil or alternatively from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp.
(7)
Therefore it is not expected that the use of oil from micro-algae in the food groups mentioned in the Annex will lead to an unacceptable increase of the overall intake of omega-3 fatty acids.
(8)
The oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(9)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. as specified in Commission Decision 2003/427/EC (2) may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient for the uses and at the maximum levels as listed in the Annex.
Article 2
The designation ‘oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp.’ shall be displayed in the list of ingredients of the foodstuffs containing it.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to Martek Biosciences Corporation, 6480 Dobbin Road, Columbia, MD 21045, USA.
Done at Brussels, 22 October 2009.
COMMISSION DECISION
of 16 October 2007
amending Decision 2004/452/EC laying down a list of bodies whose researchers may access confidential data for scientific purposes
(notified under document number C(2007) 4672)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/678/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community statistics (1), and in particular Article 20(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 831/2002 of 17 May 2002 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 on Community Statistics, concerning access to confidential data for scientific purposes (2) establishes, for the purpose of enabling statistical conclusions to be drawn for scientific purposes, the conditions under which access to confidential data transmitted to the Community authority may be granted and the rules of cooperation between the Community and national authorities in order to facilitate such access.
(2)
Commission Decision 2004/452/EC (3) has laid down a list of bodies whose researchers may access confidential data for scientific purposes.
(3)
The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Chicago, USA, has to be regarded as a body fulfilling the required conditions and should therefore be added to the list of agencies, organisations and institutions referred to in Article 3(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 831/2002.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Statistical Confidentiality,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

amending Commission Decision 2000/532/EC as regards the list of wastes
(2001/573/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/689/EEC of 12 December 1991 on hazardous waste [1], and in particular Article 1(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) A Community list of waste was established by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste [2].
(2) Article 1(4) of Directive 91/689/EEC requires Member States to notify the Commission of waste not included on the list of hazardous waste which they consider to display one or more of the properties listed in Annex III to that Directive. Several Member States have notified waste containing chlorosilanes, waste containing silicones and construction materials containing asbestos and requested that the list of hazardous waste be adapted accordingly.
(3) For the sake of clarity, it should be expressly provided that exclusively grease and oil mixture from oil/water separation containing only edible oil and fats can be considered non-hazardous.
(4) Decision 2000/532/EC should be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are not in accordance with the opinion delivered by the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC of 15 July 1975 on waste [3]. They must therefore, by virtue of the fourth paragraph of Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC, be adopted by the Council,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Annex to Decision 2000/532/EC shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2002.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
