COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 288/89
of 3 February 1989
on deterining the origin of integrated circuits
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 of the Council of 27 June 1968 on the common definition of the concept of origin of goods (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3860/87 (2), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 lays down that a product in the production of which two or more countries were concerned shall be regarded as originating in the country in which the last substantial process or operation that is economically justified was performed, having been carried out in an undertaking equipped for the purpose, and resulting in the manufacture of a new product or representing an important stage of manufacture;
Whereas, for integrated circuits, the variety of operations which come within the scope of manufacture makes it necessary to establish the last substantial process or operation for the application of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 802/68;
Whereas the diffusion stage of manufacture is technically highly sophisticated, requires great precision and presupposes a large research investment; whereas, in the context of the totality of the operations necessary for the manufacture of integrated circuits, it is considered that the manufacturing operations following diffusion (such as assembly and testing) are so significantly less important than diffusion that they cannot individually or collectively constitute a substantial operation and thus cannot meet the requirement of being the last substantial operation in the manufacture of integrated circuits; whereas diffusion by means of which the intelligent contribution to the integrated circuit is completed and the integrated circuit is given all its functional capabilities has to be designated for the purposes of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 as the last substantial operation in the manufacture of integrated circuits; whereas diffusion in this context shall be defined as the process whereby integrated circuits are formed on a semiconductor substrate by the selective introduction of an appropriate dopant;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee of Origin,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The manufacture of integrated circuits only confers on the said product the origin of the country where it was carried out in the case where the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Regulation are fulfilled.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force three days following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2087/97 (2) and in particular Article 37(2) thereof,
Whereas, as regards alcohol from distillation as referred to in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) is to bear only the costs arising from its disposal; whereas the amount of the payment on account of the cost of disposal of the products must be fixed having regard to depreciation in a way similar to that by which alcohol from distillation as referred to in Article 39 of that Regulation is depreciated,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The amount of the payment on account of the cost of disposal of the products of distillation pursuant to Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall be determined by application of a coefficient to the value of purchase made by intervention agencies.
For the 1999 financial year this coefficient shall be 0,70.
Article 2
The expenditure amounts determined in this way shall be notified to the Commission under the declaration established pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96 (3).
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 October 1998.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 88/228/EEC (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas Directive 70/524/EEC provides for regular amendment of the content of its Annexes to take account of advances in scientific and technical knowledge; whereas the Annexes were consolidated by Commission Directive 85/429/EEC (3);
Whereas the list of cases provided for in Annex I where bentonite-montmorillonite may, without risk of interaction, be mixed with antibiotics, coccidiostats and other medicinal substances should be supplemented;
Whereas perlite, used as an anticaking agent, complies in every respect with the principles governing the admission of additives; whereas it is desirable therefore to authorize its use throughout the Community;
Whereas Commission Regulations (EEC) No 368/77 (4) and (EEC) No 443/77 (5), as last amended by Regulations (EEC) No 222/88 (6) and (EEC) No 1413/87 (7) respectively, provide for the use of certain iron and copper compounds for denaturing skimmed-milk powder used for the nutrition of animals with the exception of young calves; whereas it is necessary therefore to adapt Annex I to Directive 70/524/EEC;
Whereas the investigation of the growth promotor 'Nitrovin' currently listed in Annex II and therefore authorizable at national level has not yet been completed; whereas, therefore, the period of authorization of this substance should be extended for a specific period;

COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 July 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'GUS-BUS - Digital Seismic Telemetry System' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/553/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 letter dated 27 February 1982, Italy 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 'GUS-BUS - Digital Seismic Telemetry System', ordered in July 1980 and to be used for long-distance transmission of seismic signals picked up by geophones and for recording these signals on magnetic tape, 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 2 July 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 telemetry system; 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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'GUS-BUS - Digital Seismic Telemetry System', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 27 February 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
