COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 April 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Quanta Ray - Nd: YAG Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A, with Pulsed Dye Laser, model PDL-1', may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/291/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 5 October 1981, 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 'Quanta Ray - Nd: YAG Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A, with Pulsed Dye Laser, model PDL-1', to be used in the fringe areas of atomic and molecular spectroscopy, 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 22 March 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 laser;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the spectrum of the emissions 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, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'YG 482', manufactured by Quantel, 17, avenue de l'Atlantique, F-91941 Les-Ulis-Orsay Cedex,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'Quanta Ray - Nd: YAG Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A, with Pulsed Dye Laser, model PDL-1', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 5 October 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2)
The preparation of Bacillus licheniformis DSM 5749 and Bacillus subtilis DSM 5750, belonging to the group of ‘microorganisms’, was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2) as a feed additive for use in sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1453/2004 (3), for use in turkeys for fattening and calves up to three months by Commission Regulation (EC) No 600/2005 (4), for use in pigs for fattening and piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2148/2004 (5). This additive was subsequently entered in the Community Register of Feed Additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3)
In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application for an amendment of the authorisation of that preparation was submitted to allow its use in feed for turkeys for fattening containing the permitted coccidiostat maduramicin ammonium. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(4)
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 July 2006 that the compatibility of the additive preparation of Bacillus licheniformis DSM 5749 and Bacillus subtilis DSM 5750 with maduramicin ammonium was established. The opinion of the Authority also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5)
The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.

Regulation (EC) No 600/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 600/2005 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
