COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
of 20 January 1989
amending Annex II to Council Directive 66/401/EEC on the marketing of fodder plant seed
(89/100/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 21a thereof,
Whereas, by reason of the conditions of its cultivation and its morphological characteristics, seed of meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis) contains a relatively high proportion of seed of poa species;
Whereas, for seed of meadow foxtail, it is accordingly difficult to obtain, in relation to seed of poa species, the 1 % maximum content by weight of seeds or a single other plant species laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC;
Whereas for seed of tall oatgrass (Arrhenatherum elatius) and golden oatgrass (Trisetum flavescens), which display similar morphological characteristics, this 1 % maximum does not apply to seed of poa species;
Whereas, in the light of the development of technical knowledge, it is therefore appropriate to amend Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC in order to make the same provision for seed of meadow foxtail;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
In Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC, part I, section 2 (A) ('Table'), column 6 ('Analytical purity - Maximum content of seeds of other plant species (% by weight) - A single species'), after '1,0' given for Alopecurus pratensis, '(f)' is added.
Article 2
Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 January 1990. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
Article 3
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 20 January 1989.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas, when the basic price for slaughtered pigs is fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the basic price must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 for a standard quality defined by reference to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (5),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the period 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998, the basic price for slaughtered pigs of the standard quality shall be ECU 1 509,39 per tonne.
Article 2
The standard quality shall be defined in terms of carcase weight and lean meat content, determined in accordance with Article 2 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, as follows:
(a) carcases weighing 60 to less than 120 kg: grade E;
(b) carcases weighing 120 to 180 kg: grade R.

COMMISSION DECISION of 18 February 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Carl Zeiss-Interpretoskop B" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/133/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 21 August 1980, the United Kingdom Government 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 "Carl Zeiss-Interpretoskop B", to be used for measuring the images of stars and galaxies on photographic plates, 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 8 January 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an interpretation instrument of stereograms;
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 "Carl Zeiss-Interpretoskop B", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom Government of 21 August 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
