establishing that the apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - infrared spectrophotometer, model 283' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/276/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 amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (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 20 October 1981, 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 'Perkin-Elmer - infrared spectrophotometer, model 283', to be used for the studies of thermal and photochemical kinetics in the gaseous phase, 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 22 March 1982 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 precision of the analysis 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, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'SP 2000' manufactured by Pye Unicam Ltd, York Street, UK-Cambridge CB1 2PX,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - infrared spectrophotometer, model 283', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 20 October 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 547/2003
of 27 March 2003
on the advance use of certain textile products following overlicensing by Malaysia
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 138/2003(2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Malaysian authorities have issued in 2002 licences for the export of textile products falling under categories 5 and 6 (anoraks and trousers) above the quota levels agreed between Malaysia and the European Communities. This implies that sufficient quantities are not available for the import of products of those categories shipped in 2002 in excess of year 2002 quotas, even after recourse to the flexibility provisions in Annex VIII of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.
(2) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) 3030/93 allows the Commission to open up additional opportunities for imports under particular circumstances, and notably that in case of over-licensing by the authorities of a supplier country the additional quantities granted shall be deducted from the quantitative limits of the same categories of products for the following quota year, i.e. 2003.
(3) Although the granting of additional quantities for a quota year with a corresponding deduction from the quotas of the following year in cases of over-licensing contemplated in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 3030/93 constitutes a response to an extraordinary situation, which is not part of an usual management of textile import regulations, it is recognised that Malaysia in the past has been issuing export licenses in accordance with its agreement with the European Communities and that Malaysian authorities in the current case have been cooperating in order to minimise the negative impact of such over-licensing.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textiles Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following additional quantities are granted to Malaysia in quota year 2002:
>TABLE>
These quantities are deducted from the corresponding quantitative limits for 2003.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
