COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1543/95 of 29 June 1995 derogating, for the 1995/96 marketing year, from Regulation (EC) No 3119/93 laying down special measures to encourage the processing of certain citrus fruits
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, within the framework of the Community scheme supporting the processing of citrus fruits, it appears that certain processing companies are experiencing financial difficulties in paying the minimum price to producers; whereas that situation should be taken into account when authorizing the Member States, in respect of the new marketing year 1995/96, to pay the financial compensation directly to producers under certain conditions;
Whereas using this possibility will prevent Member States from having recourse to the provisions for granting financial compensation as referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 3119/93 (4),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Notwithstanding Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 3119/93, Member States may pay financial compensation directly to producers for the quantities delivered by the latter under contracts as referred to in Article 2 of that Regulation. In that case, processors must pay to producers a price which is at least equal to the difference between the minimum price referred to in Article 3 and the financial compensation referred to in Article 4 of that Regulation.
The provisions of the first paragraph shall not apply to satsumas.
Article 2
Where Article 1 is applied, the financial compensation shall be paid to the producer at his request when the control authorities in the Member States in which processing is carried out have established that the products which are covered by contracts have been delivered.
Article 3
The decision of the Member State to apply Article 1 must concernall producers and processors on its territory.
Article 4
The detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, in particular with regard to the guarantee, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (5).
Article 5
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to the 1995/96 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 8 October 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Packard-2425 tri-carb spectrometer with teleprinter" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/845/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 3 April 1981, Italy 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 "Packard-2425 tri-carb spectrometer with teleprinter" to be used for research on dysendocrine and dysmetabolic states with particular reference to growth disorders, 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 9 July 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 a liquid scintillation spectrometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision of the spectrum analysis and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas, morever, 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 "SL 4000", manufactured by Intertechnique, F-78370 Plaisir, to the apparatus "PW 4540", manufactured by Philips Nederland BV, Boschdijk 525, NL-Eindhoven, and to the apparatus "Isocap 300", manufactured by G.D.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

Whereas it would appear appropriate definitively to insert the provisions authorizing the marketing of tomatoes attached to the stalk (trusses of tomatoes) in Regulation (EEC) No 778/83; whereas, however, pending the entry into force and application of the reform of the common organization of the market in fresh fruit and vegetables, the said trial period should be extended for a further marketing year;
