of 7 July 2003
amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2003 concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals(1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 implements the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure (PIC procedure) for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade, signed on 11 September 1998 and approved by the Community by Council Decision 2003/106/EC(2). Pending the entry into force of that Convention, Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 also implements the interim PIC procedure established by a Resolution on interim arrangements laid down in the Final Act of the Diplomatic Conference at which the Convention was adopted.
(2) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 consists of three parts containing, respectively, the list of chemicals subject to the export notification procedure, the list of chemicals qualifying for PIC notification and the list of chemicals subject to the PIC procedure under the Rotterdam Convention.
(3) In the light of a review of recent final regulatory actions under Community legislation to ban or severely restrict certain chemicals, a number of chemicals should be added to the lists of chemicals contained in parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003.
(4) At its ninth session from 30 September to 4 October 2002, the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee for the Convention decided that the chemical monocrotophos should also be subject to the interim PIC procedure. Accordingly, monocrotophos should be added to the list of chemicals contained in part 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 and the existing entry in part 1 should be amended.
(5) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up pursuant to Article 29 of Council Directive 67/548/EEC(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 807/2003(4),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1482/2003(5) fixes the indicative quantities for which system B export licences may be issued.

(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

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 28 December 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'JEOL - Electron Microscope, model Temscan-200 CX', ordered 9 December 1980 and to be used for the study of the processes of segregation at grain and phase boundaries and also for the study of the processes of precipitation and spinodal segregation, 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 14 May 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 an electron microscope; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the very high resolution power 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 'EM 400 ST with FEG, STEM unit and EDS system' and 'EM 400 T' manufactured by Philips Nederland BV, NL-Boschdijk 525, Eindhoven,
