COMMISSION DECISION
of 4 November 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Jasco - Spectropolarimeter, model J-500C' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/780/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 3 May 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 - Spectropolarimeter, model J-500C', ordered on 27 October 1980 and to be used for the study of the electronic properties of preferred element compounds by means of MCD and CD methods and in particular for the measurement of the circular dichroism of materials in the presence and absence of an external magnetic field with variation in temperature, 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 20 October 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 spectrometer;
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 'DC4' and 'DC5' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91160 Longjumeau,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'Jasco - Spectropolarimeter, model J-500C', which is subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 3 May 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

DECISION OF THE COUNCIL
of 30 March 1999
authorising the French Republic to apply or to continue to apply reductions in, or exemptions from, excise duties on certain mineral oils used for specific purposes, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC
(1999/254/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce exemptions from, or reductions in, excise duties on mineral oils on grounds of specific policy considerations;
Whereas the French authorities have notified the Commission that they wish to apply as from 1 January 1999, a differentiated rate of excise duty on a new fuel composed of a water-and-antifreeze/diesel emulsion stabilised by surfactants; whereas the procedure provided for in Article 8(4) should apply to such a scheme;
Whereas the other Member States have been informed thereof;
Whereas the Commission and all the Member States accept that the application of a differentiated rate of excise duty on a new fuel composed of a water/and-antifreeze/diesel emulsion is justified on environmental policy grounds and that it will not give rise to distortions of competition or hinder the operation of the internal market;
Whereas the Commission regularly reviews reductions and exemptions to check that they are compatible with the operation of the internal market or with Community policy on protection of the environment;
Whereas France has requested authorisation to apply this differentiated rate of excise duty from 1 January 1999 at the earliest; whereas the Council is to review their application on the basis of a report from the Commission no later than 31 December 1999, when the authorisation granted by this Decision expires,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
In accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, the French Republic is authorised to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty on a new fuel composed of a water-and-antifreeze/diesel emulsion stabilised by surfactants from 1 January 1999 until 31 December 1999 provided that this differentiated rate is in accordance with the obligations laid down in Council Directive 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils(2), and in particular the minimum rates of excise duty provided for in Article 5 thereof.
Article 2
