COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 April 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Packard - Tri-Carb Spectrometer, model 3255-01', may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/292/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 1 October 1981, the Italian Republic 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 'Packard - Tri-Carb Spectrometer, model 3255-01', to be used as a counter of radio-isotopes in tissues of living organisms, should be considered to be 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 4 February 1982, 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 spectrometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the measuring field of the spectrum and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'Isocap 300', manufactured by G.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 564/2009
of 25 June 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 temporarily suspending the autonomous common customs tariff duties on certain industrial, agricultural and fishery products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
It is in the interest of the Community to suspend totally the autonomous common customs tariff duties on a number of new products not listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 (1).
(2)
The CN and TARIC codes 0304296110, 0304999931, 3902909097, 3903909085, 7410210070, 7606129120 and 7606129320 for five products which are currently listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 should be deleted because it is no longer in the interest of the Community to maintain the suspension of autonomous common customs tariff duties for those products.
(3)
It is necessary to alter the description of 32 suspensions in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 in order to take account of technical product developments and economic trends on the market. Those suspensions should be deleted from the list in that Annex and reinserted as new suspensions using new descriptions. In the interest of clarity those suspensions should be marked with an asterisk in the first column of Annex I and of Annex II to this Regulation.
(4)
Experience has shown the need to provide for an expiry date to the suspensions listed in Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 to ensure that account is taken of technological and economic changes. This should not exclude the premature termination of certain measures or their continuation beyond that period, if economic reasons are submitted, in accordance with the principles laid down in the Commission communication of 1998 concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas (2).
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
Since the suspensions laid down in this Regulation have to take effect from 1 July 2009, this Regulation should apply from the same date and enter into force immediately. With respect to products with CN and TARIC code 9001900060, the new description should be applied from 1 January 2009,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 is amended as follows:
1.
the rows for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation shall be inserted;
2.
the rows for the products for which the CN and TARIC codes are set out in Annex II to this Regulation shall be deleted.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall apply from 1 July 2009. However, it shall apply from 1 January 2009 for the description of products with CN and TARIC code 9001900060 as set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
