COMMISSION DECISION
of 24 November 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'BIOS - Nuclear Stethoscope' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/591/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 17 May 1983, Italy 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 'BIOS - Nuclear Stethoscope', ordered on 3 March 1982 and intended to be used for the quantification of selected, significant parameters and to define normality limits for each one, 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 14 November 1983 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 stethoscope; 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 'BIOS - Nuclear Stethoscope', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 17 May 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 December 2005
amending Decision 2005/237/EC as regards the financial aid from the Community for the operation of the avian influenza Community reference laboratory in 2005
(notified under document number C(2005) 5617)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2005/935/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 28 (2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Council Directive 92/40/EEC of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza (2) defines the Community control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry. It also provides for the designation of national avian influenza laboratories and a Community reference laboratory for avian influenza.
(2)
Commission Decision 2005/237/EC of 15 March 2005 on financial aid from the Community for the operation of certain Community reference laboratories in the field of animal health and live animals in 2005 (3) granted Community financial aid to the Community reference laboratory for avian influenza designated in Directive 92/40/EEC.
(3)
Recent developments in the animal health situation concerning avian influenza in the Community and third countries have lead to a substantial increase in the amount of work to be carried out by the Community reference laboratory for avian influenza in relation to that disease. The increase is mainly due to the characterisation of viruses submitted to the laboratory and the production and updating of the current panel of reagents and their distribution.
(4)
In addition, the Community reference laboratory for avian influenza plays a key role in supporting the diagnostic units in the national reference avian influenza laboratories, including visits to those laboratories.
(5)
The enlargement of the arsenal of available diagnostic, such as the validation of new molecular diagnostic techniques and methodology, issuing of standards and running the inter-laboratory tests that has been added to the functions and duties of the approved work programme for 2005 has incremented the activity carried out in the Community reference laboratory for avian influenza.
(6)
The Commission has analysed the recent information provided by the Community reference laboratory for avian influenza on the expenditure required for 2005. Taking into account that information, the Community’s financial contribution to that laboratory needs to be adjusted and it is therefore appropriate to allocate additional funding for 2005.
(7)
Decision 2005/237/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8)
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
In Article 3 of Decision 2005/237/EC, ‘EUR 135 000’ is replaced by ‘EUR 285 000’.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Done at Brussels, 22 December 2005.
