COMMISSION DECISION of 6 July 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Aptec phyge planar spectrometer, model PS 3010" may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/572/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 13 January 1981, the United Kingdom 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 "Aptec phyge planar spectrometer, model PS 3010", to be used for nuclear physics research and in particular for measuring the electron induced reaction cross section by activation techniques, 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 28 April 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 detector ; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the output in the size of the spectrum 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 "Aptec phyge planar spectrometer, model PS 3010" which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 13 January 1981 may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1332/84
of 7 May 1984
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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),
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 985/84 (4), defines inter alia the circumstances under which fruit and vegetables marketed within a Member State are exempt from quality standards;
Whereas this exemption covers products marketed by the grower on wholesale markets situated in the production area and products consigned from wholesale markets to preparation and packing stations or storage stations situated in the same production area; whereas, however, Member States may adopt more restrictive national provisions;
Whereas experience has shown that the exemption provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 means that large quantities of fruit and vegetables do not have to comply with standards; whereas such a situation is contrary to the objectives pursued by the Community rules on quality standards; whereas, to remedy this difficulty, the products in question should be required to comply with the quality standards but Member States should be permitted to grant exemptions to cover specific situations which may arise on their territory,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following subparagraphs are added to Article 3 (1):
'Member States may exempt from the requirement to comply with quality standards or with certain of the provisions thereof:
- products displayed or offered for sale, sold, delivered or marketed in any other manner by the grower on wholesale markets, in particular on producer markets, situated in the production area,
- products consigned from wholesale markets to preparation and packing stations or storage stations situated in the same production area.
Where the preceding subparagraph is applied, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and shall notify it of measures taken to that end.'
2. Article 3 (2) (c) is deleted.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1984.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 23 December 2002
on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002(3) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.
(2) In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for oranges will shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector.
(3) To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences for oranges after 23 December 2002 should be rejected until the end of the current export period,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Applications for system B export licences for oranges submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002, export declarations for which are accepted after 23 December 2002 and before 15 January 2003, are hereby rejected.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 December 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3926/90 of 20 December 1990 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1991 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 793/91 (4), provides for cod quotas for 1991;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of ICES division II b by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal have reached the quota allocated for 1991,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Catches of cod in the waters of ICES divisions II b by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Portugal for 1991.

(1) Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2125/95 lays down that where the quantities applied for exceed the quantity available, the Commission must set a flat-rate percentage reduction and suspend the issue of licences in respect of subsequent applications.
(2) The quantities applied for on 1 and 2 July 2002 under Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2125/95 for products originating in China exceed the available quantities.
