Having regard to the request submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany,
Whereas in Germany the production of seed of Quercus pedunculata and Quercus sessiliflora satisfying the requirements laid down in Directive 71/161/EEC was insufficient in 1989 and is not adequate to supply Germany's needs;
Whereas it has not been possible to cover those needs satisfactorily at this stage by the use of seed from other Member States, or even from non-member countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Germany should therefore be authorized to permit, for a limited period, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas Council Directive 66/404/EEC on the marketing of forest reproductive reproduct material (3), as last amended by Directive 88/332/EEC (4), provides that reproductive material may be marketed only if it is accompanied by a document bearing certain details of the reproductive material in question;

Article 1
The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to permit the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 25 000 kilograms of seed of Quercus pedunculata Ehrh. and 20 000 kilograms of seed of Quercus sessiliflora Sal. which does not satisfy the requirements relating to specific purity in Annex I to Directive 71/161/EEC, provided that the following requirement is satisfied: the document required under Article 9 of Directive 66/404/EEC shall state: 'Seed not satisfying the standards in respect of specific purity'.
Article 2
The Federal Republic of Germany shall notify the Commission before 1 January 1992 of the quantities of seed marketed on its territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
Article 3
The authorization provided for in Article 1, in so far as it concerns the first marketing, shall expire on 30 November 1991 and, in so far as it does not concern the first marketing, shall expire on 31 December 1993.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 12, 14 and 15 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission submitted after consultation within the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1531/88 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium permanganate originating in the People's Republic of China.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, bearing in mind how important the production aid system for durum wheat is in forming the incomes of farmers in certain less-favoured areas of the Community where durum wheat production is of a traditional nature, it is appropriate to provide for the said system to apply also to the region of Thrace in Greece and, in the case of Spain, to the autonomous community of Navarre and to the provinces of Toledo, Zamora and Salamanca; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3103/76 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC)

COMMISSION DECISION
of 26 January 1984
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Dionex - Ion Chromatograph, model 2010' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(84/63/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 26 July 1983, the United Kingdom has requested the Comission 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 'Dionex - Ion Chromatograph, model 2010', ordered on 7 December 1982 and intended to be used to study the level of anions such as sulphite and nitrate formed in plant tissue as a result of atmospheric pollution, 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 15 November 1983 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 chromatograph; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the great sensibility, 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'Dionex - Ion Chromatograph, model 2010', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 26 July 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
