COMMISSION DECISION of 21 November 1978 on the refusal to accept the scientific character of an apparatus described as "Automax 16 mm cine-pulse camera" (78/990/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),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 16 June 1978, the United Kingdom Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Automax 16 mm cine-pulse camera" should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, if 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 20 October 1978 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination shows that the apparatus in question is an impulse camera used inter alia for time lapse photography of the nocturnal movement of slugs and the high speed data recording of gastropod responses in studies of the neuronal basis of behaviour ; whereas it is a multi-purpose apparatus which does not in itself have objective characteristics making it specially suited to pure scientific research and its use for research purposes cannot in itself give it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it cannot, therefore, be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as "Automax 16 mm cine-pulse camera" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 19 December 2002
on the mobilisation of the flexibility instrument according to point 24 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999
(2003/133/EC)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure(1), and in particular point 24 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Following the non-renewal of the fisheries agreement between the European Union and the Kingdom of Morocco, a specific action for the conversion of the Spanish and Portuguese fleets was decided for an amount of EUR 197 million. Of this total the budgetary authority agreed on 21 and 22 November 2001 at the conciliation meeting between the Council and a delegation of the European Parliament, with the participation of the Commission, to enter EUR 27 million in the 2003 budget.
(2) The actions for the conversion of Spanish and Portuguese fleets fall under heading 2 "structural measures", sub-heading "Structural Funds" of the financial perspectives.
(3) In accordance with point 12, paragraph 2 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure, the appropriations foreseen for actions covered by heading 2 "structural measures" of the financial perspectives do not leave any margin under the ceiling.
(4) At the conciliation meeting on 25 November 2002, the European Parliament and the Council have accepted transfer No 51/2002 which provides EUR 14991760 from unused appropriations in the 2002 budget onto the line B2-2 0 0. They have also agreed to inscribe the remaining EUR 12008240 on B2-2 0 0 for the budget year 2003. This amount will be beyond the ceiling of heading 2 for 2003 and has therefore to be financed from the flexibility instrument.
(5) In particular, for the action of conversion of the Spanish and Portuguese fleets, it is then appropriate to make an exception to the general rule of the Interinstitutional Agreement, providing that: "the flexibility instrument should not, as a rule, be used to cover the same needs two years running.",
HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2003 (hereinafter "the 2003 budget"), the flexibility instrument shall be used to provide the sum of EUR 12008240 in commitment appropriations.
This amount shall be used for the financing of the targeted measure for the promotion of the conversion of vessels and of fishermen who were, until 1999, dependent on the fisheries agreement with Morocco, covered by the "structural measures" heading of the financial perspectives, under line B2-2 0 0 of the 2003 budget.
Article 2
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities at the same time as the 2003 budget.
