COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 June 1984
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Browne - Nocturnale Penile Tumescence Monitor, model 9900 with Playback Printer, model 9800' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(84/348/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 13 December 1983, 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 'Browne - Nocturnale Penile Tumescence Monitor, model 9900 with Playback Printer, model 9800', ordered on 15 August 1983 and intended to be used to research into the causes of impotence in patients with chronic renal failure, and in particular to record penile activity during sleep, should be considered as 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 11 April 1984 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 recorder; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, in particular, the fact that it is a recorder intended for a new and not widespread procedure cannot confer upon it this character; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities, and in particular in the medical field for clinical use; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'Browne - Nocturnale Penile Tumescence Monitor, model 9900 with Playback Printer, model 9800', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 13 December 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular the first subparagraph of paragraph (f) of Chapter 4 of Section B of Annex VI thereto,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (1) and Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2) provide for certain structural requirements for establishments falling within the scope of those Regulations.
(2)
Annex VI, Chapter 4, Section B, paragraphs (a) and (c) to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania provide that certain structural requirements laid down in those Regulations are not to apply to establishments in Bulgaria listed in Chapter I and II of the Appendix to Annex VI to the Act of Accession until 31 December 2009, subject to certain conditions.
(3)
Chapter I of the Appendix to Annex VI lists compliant establishments authorised to receive and process without separation compliant and non-compliant milk while Chapter II of that Appendix lists compliant establishments authorised to receive and process separately compliant and non-compliant milk.

Those lists of establishments have been amended by Commission Decision 2007/26/EC of 22 December 2006 amending the Appendix to Annex VI to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania as regards certain milk processing establishments in Bulgaria (3).
(5)
Bulgaria has now reviewed the situation in the milk sector and re-evaluated the establishments listed in Chapter I and Chapter II of the Appendix to Annex VI.
(6)
According to that assessment establishments listed in Chapter I do not comply with the structural requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004/EC. Therefore those establishments should be deleted from the list in Chapter I. Only 11 establishments which have no practical difficulties in handling properly two separate production lines should remain on the list in Chapter II.
