COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 617/96 of 3 April 1996 concerning the classification of certain goods in the combined nomenclature
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 586/96 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas in order to ensure uniform application of the combined nomenclature annexed to the said Regulation, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has set down the general rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature and those rules also apply to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific Community provisions, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1921/94 of 25 July 1994 amending Regulation (EC) No 519/94 on common rules for imports from certain third countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/82 (1), subjected imports of a limited number of products originating in the People's Republic of China to the Community quantitative quotas listed in Annex II to the Regulation, owing to the sensitivity of certain sectors of Community industry;
Whereas the Council, in setting the level of these quotas, strove to find a balance between an appropriate protection of the sectors of the Community industry concerned and the need to maintain an acceptable level of trade with the People's Republic of China, taking into account the various interests involved;
Whereas, however, in the case of toys falling within CN code 9503 41, the implementation and administration of the quota have revealed that this objective has not been achieved in an entirely satisfactory way in 1994; whereas disruptions have occurred in trade with the People's Republic of China that have affected Community economic sectors involved in the import, marketing and processing of those toys originating in that country and caused economic difficulties;
Whereas, in view of this, and without prejudice to a review of the situation, the quota in question should be adjusted upwards for the year 1994, in order to ease the transition between the previous import regime and the regime established by the abovementioned Regulation (EC) No 519/94;
Whereas the amount by which the quota for 1994 is increased must be allocated to importers as swiftly as possible, in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a community procedure for administering quantitative quotas (2),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94, 'ECU 158 965 083' in the column 'quotas (15 March to 31 December 1994)' concerning HS/CN code 9503 41 is replaced by 'ECU 204 500 000'.
Article 2
The additional amounts for the 1994 quota shall be allocated in their entirety to importers as swiftly as possible, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.
Article 3
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.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 5 February 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'SLM spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/143/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 17 July 1981, 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 'SLM spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800', to be used for the study of protein-lipid and protein-protein interactions in biological membranes and in particular for the measurement of the fluorescence lifetime and of differential dynamic polarization in specimens, 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 12 January 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 fluorometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the great sensitivity and the precision of the fluorometrical 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 conventional apparatus manufactured by Applied Photophysics, 20 Albemarle Street, UK-London W1X 3HA and to the apparatus 'JY3C' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18 rue du Canal, 91160 Longjumeau, France,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'SLM spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 17 July 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
