COMMISSION DECISION of 17 February 1997 on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20 (2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards metal injection anchors for use in masonry (Text with EEA relevance) (97/177/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13 (4) thereof,
Whereas the Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures in accordance with Article 13 (3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the 'least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety`; whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13 (4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required for that purpose;
Whereas Article 13 (4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
Whereas the two procedures provided for in Article 13 (3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
Whereas the procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13 (3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13 (3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
Article 2
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in mandates for guidelines for European technical approvals.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1771/95 of 24 July 1995 amending for the sixth time Regulation (EC) No 3146/94 adopting exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in Germany
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
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), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas, because on the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Germany, exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat were adopted for that Member State in Commission Regulation (EC) No 3146/94 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1211/95 (4);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3146/94, processed products produced from delivered fattened pigs should be exported before 1 July 1995; whereas it is appropriate to allow the continuation of these exports beyond that date, taking into account the present animal health situation and the fact that the volume of these exports remains insignificant in comparison to the total exports of processed products;
Whereas new outbreaks of classical swine fever took place in the district of Diepholz in Lower Saxony; whereas it is therefore appropriate to include this area in the support measures provided for by Regulation (EC) No 3146/94;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 3146/94 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 4 (2), 'before 1 July 1995` is deleted;
2. 'DIEPHOLZ` is added to Annex II, point 1.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(83/163/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 13 August 1982, Belgium 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 'SLM - Spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800', ordered on 5 January 1981 and intended to be used for the determination of fluorescence lifetime, polarization measurements and conventional spectrofluorometry, 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 1 February 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 spectrofluorometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision of the measurements, 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
The apparatus described as 'SLM - Spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 13 August 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
