Whereas Community inspections in Madagascar have shown that there are serious deficiencies with regard to infrastructure and hygiene in fishery establishments and that there are not enough guarantees about the efficiency of the controls carried out by the competent authorities; whereas there is a potential risk for public health with regard to the production and processing of fishery products in this country;

COMMISSION DECISION of 30 November 1994 amending Decision 92/491/EEC on the clearance of the accounts presented by Italy in respect of the expenditure for 1989 of the EAGGF, Guarantee Section (Only the Italian text is authentic) (94/1076/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

After consulting the Fund Committee,
Whereas, by Commission Decision 92/491/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 93/524/EEC (4), an amount relating to the additional levy totalling Lit 174 266 472 000 for Italy, which should have been paid in the milk and milk products sector, was disallowed; whereas the said amount was charged to Italy under the Decision in question; whereas the information available to the Commission at the time did not enable it to calculate exactly the aforementioned disallowed sum; whereas it reserved the option of amending the disallowed sum under a subsequent clearance of accounts decision;
Whereas, in their joint conclusions of 21 October 1994, the Commission and the Council agreed that the proceedings pending before the European Court of Justice relating to that clearance decision should be withdrawn; whereas the Commission will revise those clearance decisions for 1989 which the Court of Justice has been asked to annul in such a way that the financial correction for the State concerned will be based on the guaranteed quantity allocated at the time and on the most reliable statistical data; whereas the additional costs to be borne by Italy resulting from the increase in the financial correction for 1989 should be recovered in four equal annual instalments from 1995 until the end of 1998;
Whereas the amount of the correction thus established is unlikely to change, with the result that that correction becomes definitive;
Whereas the Annex to Decision 92/491/EEC should therefore be amended in respect of Italy,

The part of the Annex to Decision 92/491/EEC relating to Italy is replaced by the Annex hereto.

(82/580/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

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 15 February 1982, 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 'Jasco - Automatic Recording Spectropolarimeter, model J-500', ordered on 6 August 1979 and to be used for research into circular, linear and magnetic dichroism of organic and organo-metallic compounds, 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 2 July 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 spectropolarimeter; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision and the stability, 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 'Mark IIIS' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, 91160 Longjumeau, France,

Whereas:
(1) The Luxembourg European Council stated that the Accession Partnership is a new instrument and the key feature of the enhanced pre-accession strategy.
