COMMISSION DECISION of 29 April 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "ORTEC - economical energy dispersive spectrometer, model EEDS II, with Si (Li) X-ray detector, model 7880- S-449" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/320/EEC)

Whereas, by letter dated 27 October 1980, the Government of 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 - economical energy dispersive spectrometer, model EEDS II, with Si (Li) X-ray detector, model 7880-S-449", to be used for research in pathological mutations in biological soft and hard tissues in order to arrive at conclusions as to the morphological progression of certain diseases, 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 5 March 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an X-ray spectrometer with a detector ; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the energy-spectrum used for the optical microanalysis, 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 "EDX-290" and "system 860" manufactured by Link Systems Ltd, Halifax Road, UK-High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire HP12 3SE,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as "ORTEC - economical energy dispersive spectrometer, model EEDS II, with Si (Li) X-ray detector, model 7880-S-449", which is the subject of an application by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany of 27 October 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned; whereas that coefficient expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question; whereas, in view of the information provided by Spain on the period 1 January to 31 December 1995, the average ageing period in 1995 was four years for Spanish whisky; whereas the coefficients for the period 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997 should be fixed;

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 24,077/kg.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 July 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
