(82/928/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),

Whereas, by letter dated 28 April 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Waters - High Pressure Liquid Chromatograph, consisting of: Solvent Delivery System, model 6000 A, Universal Injector, model U6K, Absorbance Detector, model 440, Solvent Programmer Accessory, model 660', ordered on 20 December 1977 and to be used for the analysis of antibody structures and in particular for the identification of phenylthiohydantoins, 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 this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a liquid chromatograph; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the sensibility and the reproducebility of the analysis 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1697/2004
of 30 September 2004
setting the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 2004/05
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient expresses the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2)
On the basis of the information supplied by Ireland on the period 1 January to 31 December 2003, the average ageing period for Irish whiskey in 2003 was five years. The coefficients for the period 1 October 2004 to 30 September 2005 should therefore be set accordingly.
(3)
Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area precludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded agreements with certain third countries abolishing export refunds. In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, this should be taken into account in the calculation of the coefficients for the period 2004/2005.

Article 1
For the period 1 October 2004 to 30 September 2005, the coefficients referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applicable to cereals used in Ireland in the production of Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
