Whereas the application contains all the information specified in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2180/81 of 30 July 1981 laying down rules implementing restrictions on investment aids for pig production (4), showing that the conditions for authorization pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1945/81 are met;
Whereas such authorization does not affect the decision to be adopted by the Commission pursuant to Article 18 of Directive 72/159/EEC concerning the provisions adopted by Belgium in applying the authorization;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures,

COMMISSION DECISION of 18 February 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "ICSP-microcomputer training system, course 525 A" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/138/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 26 August 1980, the Danish Government 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 "ICSP-microcomputer training system, course 525 A", to be used for training and for the processing of scientific data in connection with the acquisition of meteorological parameters from automatic weather stations, should be considered as 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 8 January 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 a micro-processor;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as "ICSP-microcomputer training system, course 525 A", which is the subject of an application by the Danish Government of 26 August 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), as last amended by Directive 90/654/EEC (2) and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Directive 86/109/EEC of 27 February 1986, limiting the marketing of seed of certain species of fodder plants and oil and fibre plants to seed which has been officially certified as 'basic seed' or 'certified seed' (3) as last amended by Commission Directive 91/376/EEC (4) and in particular Article 2a thereof,

Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States or from third countries satisfying all the requirements laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC;
Whereas France should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 November 1991, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas other Member States which are able to supply France with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed, provided that it is intended for France;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1135/91 of 29 April 1991 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3729/90 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products originating in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or Egypt
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas by Regulation (EEC) No 3729/90 (1) the Council opened Community tariff quotas for 1991 for certain agricultural products originating in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or Egypt, including a 4 900-tonne quota at 4 % for dried onions falling within CN code 0712 20 00, originating in Egypt; whereas by Regulation (EEC) No 455/91 (2), the Council opened an erga omnes 12 000-tonne tariff quota for dried onions at 10 %;
Whereas until the said 12 000-tonne tariff quota has been exhausted, the highest duty applied by the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 to imports of these products from Spain and Portugal is 2,5 %; whereas if and when the said quota is exhausted, the duty applicable to imports from Spain will be 4 %; whereas the same tariff treatment should be accorded to products originating in Egypt, and Regulation (EEC) No 3729/90 should be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The 4 % rate of duty shown in column 6 of the table in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3729/90 against order number 09.1701 shall be reduced to 2,5 %.
2. In the event of exhaustion of the erga omnes tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 455/91, a quota duty of 4 % shall apply to imports into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 of dried onions originating in Egypt.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1988/94 of 27 July 1994 amending Regulation (EC) No 3637/93 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT for certain agricultural and industrial products
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, for newsprint, the Community has reached an agreement which provides in particular for the opening of a Community tariff quota for 650 000 tonnes, of which 600 000 tonnes are reserved, until 30 November of each year, exclusively for products from Canada, in accordance with Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; whereas this agreement provides equally for the obligation to increase, by 5 % that part of the quota reserved for imports from Canada, in the event that that part is used up before the end of a given period of one year; whereas the quota of 650 000 tonnes was opened for 1994 by Council Regulation (EC) No 3637/93 (1);
Whereas the economic data at present available gives rise to the belief that the requirements for importing newsprint from Canada could reach at level higher than the said volume of 600 000 tonnes; whereas the volume of that part of the quota reserved for these imports should be increased, therefore, by 30 000,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 3637/93 the table regarding order No 09.0015 shall be replaced by the following table:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1634/2000
of 25 July 2000
fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Scotch whisky for the period 2000/2001
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/2000(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) 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. 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. In view of the information provided by the United Kingdom on the period 1 January to 31 December 1999, the average ageing period in 1999 was seven years for Scotch whisky. The coefficients for the period 1 July 2000 to 30 September 2001 should be fixed.
(2) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area(3) precludes the grant of refunds for exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Therefore, pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, account should be taken of this in the calculation of the coefficient for 2000/2001.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the period 1 July 2000 to 30 September 2001, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in the United Kingdom for manufacturing Scotch whisky shall be as set out in the Annex.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
