COMMISSION DECISION
of 15 November 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Tektronix - Controller Based Transient Digitizer System, model WP 2200' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/797/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 6 April 1982, 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 'Tektronix - Controller Based Transient Digitizer System, model WP 2200' ordered on 1 March 1979 and to be used for the measurement of short-life excited molecular states and in particular for time-resolved detection of laser-induced fluorescence, 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 21 September 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 signal acquisition system;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the resolution power 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 'Tektronix - Controller Based Transient Digitizer System, model WP 2200', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 6 April 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1154/2009

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 as regards Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and processed agricultural products originating in Israel

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 of 9 April 2001 providing for the management of Community tariff quotas and of reference quantities for products eligible for preferences by virtue of agreements with certain Mediterranean countries and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1981/94 and (EC) No 934/95 (1) and in particular Article 5(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In 2008 an Agreement was concluded in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the State of Israel concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures on agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products, the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 and their annexes and amendments to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’, which was approved by Council Decision 2009/855/EC (2).

In addition, it no longer provides for any tariff concessions granted within reference quantities.
(3)
To implement the provisions on the new tariff quotas, the changes to the existing tariff quotas and the ending of reference quantities, Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 should be amended accordingly.
(4)
For the purpose of calculating the tariff quotas for the first year of application, provision should be made, in accordance with the Agreement, for the volumes of the tariff quotas for which the quota period starts before the date of entry into force of the Agreement to be reduced by the proportion of that period which has elapsed before that date.
(5)
Since the Agreement enters into force on 1 January 2010, this Regulation should apply from that date.

fixing, for 1990, certain measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources, applicable to vessels flying the flag of a Member State, other than Spain and Portugal, in waters falling under the sovereignty or within the jurisdiction of Portugal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 351 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 351 of the Act of Accession, it is for the Council to fix the fishing possibilities and the corresponding number of Community vessels which may fish in the waters referred to that Article;
Whereas these possibilities are determined, with respect to pelagic species not subject to the system of total allowable catches (TACs) and quotas, other than highly migratory species, on the basis of the situation of the fishing activities of the Member States apart from Spain, in Portuguese waters for the period prior to accession; whereas there is a need to ensure stock conservation, taking account moreover of the limits placed on fishing by Portuguese vessels for similar species in waters of the Member States, apart from Spain;
Whereas, for 1989, no fishing possibilities for species not subject to TACs quotas are granted to Portugal in the waters of the Member States apart from Spain;
Whereas the specific conditions governing the fishing activities of vessels exploiting stocks of highly migratory species, for which catch possibilities are granted, should be laid down, whereas the limits concerning the zones and the periods of fishing of these vessels are laid down by Article 351 (2), (3) and (4) of the Act of Accession;
Whereas the fishing activities covered by this Regulation are subject to the control measures provided for by 2241/87 (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3483/88 (2), as well as to the specific detailed rules drawn up in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 351 (5) of the Act of Accession,

Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1990.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1154/95 of 22 May 1995 adopting a protective measure applying to imports of garlic originating in Vietnam
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 997/95 (2), and in particular Article 29 (2) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2707/72 (3) lays down the conditions for applying protective measures for fruit and vegetables;
Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 of 12 July 1993 on the application of the system of import licences for garlic imported from third countries (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/94 (5), the release for free circulation in the Community of garlic imported from third countries is subject to the presentation of import licences;
Whereas on 19 May 1995 the Kingdom of Spain requested the Commission to take protective measures against imports of garlic;
Whereas, in the wake of the protective measure applicable to imports of garlic originating in China adopted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1213/94 of 27 May 1994 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2815/94 (7), the Commission observed a sharp rise in applications for import licences for garlic originating in Vietnam; whereas, in view of the fact that the continuation of such imports and the very low prices at which they were offered could have brought about serious disturbance on the Community market in garlic, the Commission suspended the issuing of import licences for garlic originating in Vietnam by Regulation (EC) No 2091/94 (8);
Whereas the factors that led the Commission to take this measure still apply and a further protective measure should be adopted; whereas the pressure of imports of garlic originating in China has by no means abated and there is therefore reason to fear that quantities covered by applications for import licences for garlic originating in Vietnam may continue to far exceed traditional imports from that country,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The issuing of import licences for garlic (CN code 0703 20 00) originating in Vietnam as referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 is hereby suspended until 31 May 1996.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 1995.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
