Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas, as a result of an error of substance, the correction of which is being considered, the Act of Accession does not provide for the application of quantitative restrictions on imports into Portugal of products falling within subheading 0407 00 30 of the combined nomenclature from the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985; whereas, therefore, such restrictions have not been included in Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 for imports from Spain into Portugal; whereas pending the rectification referred to above, Regulation (EEC) No 619/86 of the Commission (2), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1996/86 (3), laid down such restrictions as temporary measures until 31 December 1987; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4007/87 (4) extended the period referred to in Article 257 of the Act until 31 December 1990; whereas a quota may therefore be fixed for 1988;
Whereas the initial quotas for imports into Portugal of certain egg and poultry products from Spain are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 619/86; whereas the quotas for 1988 should be fixed by applying the minimum rate of annual rise of 10 % provided for in Article 4 (4) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85; whereas these quotas are in addition to those applicable under Article 269 of the Act of Accession to imports from the Community as constituted at 31 December 1986;

COMMISSION DECISION
of 1 September 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Dionex - Stopped-flow Spectrophotometer, model D-110, with accessories' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/456/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 7 March 1983, Italy 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 'Dionex - Stopped-flow Spectrophotometer, model D-110, with accessories', ordered on 28 November 1979 and intended to be used for research on the reaction mechanisms of transition metal complexes, 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 6 July 1983 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 spectrophotometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility 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 on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'Dionex - Stopped-flow Spectrophotometer, model D-110, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 7 March 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 October 2006
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, the Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards exemptions for applications of lead in crystal glass
(notified under document number C(2006) 4789)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/690/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2002/95/EC requires the Commission to evaluate certain hazardous substances prohibited pursuant to Article 4(1) of that Directive.
(2)
Crystal glass has been progressively used for decorative purposes on electrical and electronic equipment. Since Council Directive 69/493/EEC of 15 December 1969 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to crystal glass (2) prescribes the amount of lead to be present in crystal glass and the substitution of lead in crystal glass is therefore technically impracticable, the use of this hazardous substance in specific materials and components covered by that Directive is unavoidable. Those materials and components should be therefore exempted from the prohibition.
(3)
Some exemptions from the prohibition for certain specific materials or components should be limited in their scope, in order to achieve a gradual phase-out of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, given that the use of those substances in such applications will become avoidable.
(4)
Pursuant to Article 5(1)(c) of Directive 2002/95/EC each exemption listed in the Annex must be subject to a review at least every four years or four years after an item is added to the list.
(5)
Directive 2002/95/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/95/EC, the Commission has consulted the relevant parties.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
In the Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC the following point 29 is added:
‘29.
Lead bound in crystal glass as defined in Annex I (Categories 1, 2, 3 and 4) of Council Directive 69/493/EEC (4).

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Council Regulation (EC) No 775/2000
of 13 April 2000
amending Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Council Regulation (EC) No 2745/1999(1) the Council opened a duty-free autonomous tariff quota for ferro-chrome of 1035000 tonnes. This quota covers at present the total need of European processing industries for a duty-free supply of ferro-chrome in the year 2000.
(2) By Council Regulation (EC) No 2793/1999 of 17 December 1999 on certain procedures for applying the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of South Africa(2), and additional duty-free tariff quota for ferro-chrome originating in South Africa of 515000 tonnes was introduced with effect from 1 January 2000 and applicable when the Agreement with the Republic of South Africa enters into force.
(3) With the introduction of the tariff quota for South Africa the quantity for the autonomous quota has to be reduced accordingly in order to avoid injurious effects on Community producers of this product and to allow South Africa the full benefit of its quota.
(4) Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation for European industry it is necessary to invoke the ground of urgency referred to in point I(3) of the Additional Protocol to the Treaty of Amsterdam on the role of national parliaments in the European Union.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 2505/96(3) should accordingly be amended,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In the table appearing in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96, the amount of the tariff quota relating to order number 09.2711 shall be altered to 520000 tonnes.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
