Commission Decision
of 12 August 2003
repealing Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries of star anise
(notified under document number C(2003) 2889)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/602/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/43/EEC of 14 June 1993 on the hygiene of foodstuffs(1), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries of star anise(2), and in particular recital 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Analyses of consignments of star anise (illicium verum) from certain third countries had revealed the presence of the botanical variety known as Japanese star anise (illicium anisatum), which is scientifically recognised as highly poisonous and therefore not fit for human consumption.
(2) The presence of Japanese star anise had been linked to some cases of food poisoning in the Community.
(3) As a consequence, and in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 93/43/EEC, the Commission adopted Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries of star anise, in order to ensure that star anise imported from third countries and intended for human consumption does not contain Japanese star anise.
(4) The checks and analyses carried out under the conditions prescribed in Decision 2002/75/EC have not revealed any new cases of contamination, and no cases of poisoning have been reported.
(5) The special conditions attaching to the import of star anise are therefore no longer justified and Commission Decision 2002/75/EC can be repealed.
(6) The Member States have been consulted on the repealing of Decision 2002/75/EC, in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 93/43/EEC,

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE of 7 February 1978 on the customs treatment of goods re-imported in the unaltered state under outward processing arrangements (78/206/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/119/EEC of 18 December 1975 on the harmonization of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in respect of outward processing (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Whereas it follows from Articles 10 and 11 of the above Directive that the partial or total relief from import duties is determined by deducting from the amount of import duties applicable to the re-imported products the amount of import duties that would be applicable to the temporarily exported goods if they were imported into the Community from the country where they underwent processing or the last processing operation;
Whereas the implementation of these provisions is not essential in cases where goods are re-imported in the unaltered state in accordance with an authorization granted by the competent authorities pursuant to Article 8 ; whereas the customs clearance of these goods can be simplified by assimilating them to returned goods ; whereas their customs treatment should therefore be determined on the same basis as that laid down for returned goods by Council Regulation (EEC) No 754/76 of 25 March 1976 on the customs treatment applicable to goods returned to the customs territory of the Community (2), and its implementing Regulations, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 2 (1) (a) of that Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Customs Processing Arrangements,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
The customs treatment applicable to goods in the unaltered state which are re-imported in accordance with an authorization granted by the competent authorities pursuant to Article 8 of Directive 76/119/EEC shall be determined on the same basis as for returned goods in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 754/76 and its implementing Regulations.
Article 2
1. Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 March 1978 and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. The Commission shall forward this information to the other Member States.
Article 3
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
