COMMISSION DECISION
of 26 February 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 560' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/187/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 28 August 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 'Perkin-Elmer - atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 560', to be used for the analysis of samples with a complex matrix, 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 4 February 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 spectrophotometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the answer in the whole of the spectral field of the analysis 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 'SP 1900/1950' manufactured by Pye Unicam Ltd, York Street, UK-Cambridge,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 560', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 28 August 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 of 28 December 1992 establishing an additional levy in the milk and milk products sector (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products (3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2537/95 (4), and in particular Article 31 (2) and (3) thereof,

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1989/93 of 19 July 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 laying down general rules for granting aid for flax and hemp
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 of 29 June 1970 on the common organization of the market in flax and hemp (1), and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the first subparagraph of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 (2) provides that for fibre flax half of the fixed-rate aid allocated to this flax is granted to the grower and the other to the processor; whereas the amount of aid for this type of flax as set by Regulation (EEC) No 1558/93 (3) for the 1993/94 marketing year is substantially higher than that for previous years, in order to compensate for the abolition for this flax, as from the said marketing year, of the aid for flax seed; whereas, since this aid for the seed is granted to the processor, the allocation between operators, on the basis of the present criterion, of the total aid for fibre flax would be seriously altered in favour of the growers;
Whereas this new allocation would very likely lead to an artificial increase in Community surface areas; whereas the former allocation should therefore be retained; whereas the desired objective may be attained by making provision for 25 % of the aid for fibre flax to be granted to the grower and 75 % to the processor,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The first subparagraph of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 shall be replaced by the following:
'2. For the flax grown mainly for the production of fibre, a quarter of the aid shall be granted to the grower and three-quarters to any natural or legal person who has concluded with the grower, before a date to be determined, a contract by which it obtains property in the straw flax.`
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to straw flax harvested as from 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(5) Article 4(11) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that each list of areas eligible under Objective 2 is to be valid for seven years from 1 January 2000; however, where there is a serious crisis in a given region, the Commission, acting on a proposal from a Member State, may amend the list of areas during 2003 in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 10 of Article 4, without increasing the proportion of the population within each region referred to in Article 13(2) of that Regulation,
