COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 245/2007
of 8 March 2007
amending and adapting Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards Bulgaria, Romania and Malaysia
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 56 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 10 and 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 lays down the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and the rules applicable to checks on such movements.
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 lays down that a list of third countries from which the movement of pet animals to the Community may be authorised, provided that certain requirements are met, is to be set out in Part C of Annex II to that Regulation.
(3)
The list in Part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 includes third countries and territories which are free of rabies and third countries and territories in respect of which the risk of rabies entering the Community as a result of movements from those third countries and territories has been found to be no higher than the risk associated with movements between Member States.
(4)
From the information submitted by the competent authorities of Malaysia, it appears that the risk of rabies entering the Community as a result of movements of pet animals from that country is no higher than the risk associated with movements of pet animals between Member States or from third countries already listed in Regulation (EC) No 998/2003. Therefore Malaysia should be included in the list set out in Part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003.
(5)
Since Bulgaria and Romania have been Member States since 1 January 2007, in the interest of clarity of Community legislation it is necessary to remove references to those countries from Part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 with effect from the date of accession.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 June 1984
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 5000' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(84/320/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 2 December 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 5000', ordered on 15 June 1981 and intended to be used for trace analysis of heavy metals contained in organic and biological substances and in water, 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 14 May 1984 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 analyzer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the great precision of the spectral 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, 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 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 5000', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 2 December 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
