COMMISSION DECISION of 23 December 1982 amending Council Decision 82/734/EEC on the list of establishments in the Swiss Confederation approved for the purposes of exporting fresh meat into the Community (82/960/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Whereas a list of establishments in Switzerland, approved for the purposes of the export of fresh meat to the Community, was drawn up initially by Council Decision 82/734/EEC (2);
Whereas a routine inspection made in application of Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 3 (1) of Commission Decision 80/15/EEC of 21 December 1979 concerning the on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals, swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (3), has revealed that the level of hygiene of certain establishments may be considered to be satisfactory ; whereas these establishments may therefore be kept or entered on the Community list;
Whereas this inspection has, however, revealed in other establishments that in some cases insufficient effort has been made to improve hygiene standards, and in other cases those standards have fallen ; whereas the condition of some of these plants does not necessitate immediate withdrawal of approval, but does justify limiting Community approval to a certain period at the end of which the said approval will expire unless, meanwhile, the necessary measures have been put into effect and verified by a further on-the-spot inspection, to be requested by the Swiss authorities if they deem it necessary;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend the list of establishments;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 82/734/EEC is hereby amended as follows: 1. Article 4 is replaced by the following:
"Article 4
This Decision shall be reviewed and if necessary amended before 30 June 1983, particular account being taken of measures applied by the Swiss authorities in the fields of veterinary inspection and slaughter hygiene."
2. The Annex is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 18 July 1996 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of PET video film originating in the Republic of Korea (96/437/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1251/95 (3), and in particular Articles 5 and 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
I. PROCEDURE
(1) In February 1995, the Commission received a complaint from three companies, Hoechst-Diafoil GmbH, Rhône-Poulenc Films and Teijin-DuPont Films, concerning imports of PET video film originating in the Republic of Korea. The three complainants allegedly represented 100 % of total PET video film output in the Community. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (4), the initiation of an antidumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of PET video film originating in the Republic of Korea.
(2) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned; the representatives of the exporting country and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.
II. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(3) The complaining Community producers formally withdrew their complaint concerning imports of PET video film originating in the Republic of Korea. The Commission considered that a termination of the proceeding would not be against the interest of the Community.
(4) Consequently, the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of PET video film originating in the Republic of Korea should be terminated without adoption of protective measures.
(5) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objection.
(6) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding and have been given the opportunity to comment,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Sole Article
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of PET video film originating in the Republic of Korea is hereby terminated.

COMMISSION DECISION of 30 December 1982 establishing that the apparatus described as "Ortec - Gamma-X Coaxial HPGe Detector, model 2012-25200-S" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (82/964/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 16 June 1982, 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 "Ortec - Gamma-X Coaxial HPGe Detector, model 2012-25200-S", ordered on 18 September 1980 and to be used for the analysis of samples of building materials and in particular for high-efficiency determination of radioactive isotopes with low gamma energies in such samples, 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 1982, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;

COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 December 2006
amending Decision 2005/393/EC as regards restricted zones in relation to bluetongue
(notified under document number C(2006) 6970)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/28/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2000/75/EC lays down control rules and measures to combat bluetongue in the Community, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones and a ban on animals leaving those zones.
(2)
Commission Decision 2005/393/EC of 23 May 2005 on protection and surveillance zones in relation to bluetongue and conditions applying to movements from or through these zones (2) provides for the demarcation of the global geographic areas where protection and surveillance zones (‘the restricted zones’) are to be established by the Member States in relation to bluetongue.
(3)
On 20 November 2006 Spain informed the Commission that serotype 4 virus has been detected as circulating in a peripheral area of restricted zone E. Consequently that zone should be extended, taking into account of the data available on the ecology of the vector and the current meteorological situation.
(4)
On 21 November 2006 Germany informed the Commission of new outbreaks of bluetongue in Lower Saxony. In view of those findings, it is appropriate to amend the demarcation of the restricted zone in Germany.
(5)
Following the notification of outbreaks of bluetongue in early November 2006 by Italy, due to a new serotype, by Decision 2006/858/EC, a new restricted zone G has been added to Annex I to Decision 2005/393/EC to include the three concerned provinces of southern Sardinia. However, the reference to this zone in the respective provisions of Decision 2005/393/EC has not been added. Therefore, for the sake of clarity, the list of zones referred to in Article 2 of Decision 2005/393/EC should be completed.
(6)
Decision 2005/393/EC should be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2005/393/EC is amended as follows:
1.
The first paragraph of Article 2 is replaced by the following:
‘Restricted zones shall be demarcated within the global geographical areas listed in the zones set out in Annex I.’
2.
Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
