THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas, by letter dated 22 September 1978, the German Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Burroughs - B7700 Information Processing System", intended for use in data-processing operations in the context of tutorial and research projects in the fields of construction, surveying, electrical and aerospace engineering, computer technology, educational theory, economics and organization, 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 7 February 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an information processing system in current use which does not have any special characteristics rendering it specifically suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it can used in very many areas of data processing ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of an apparatus specifically suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus,

The apparatus described as "Burroughs - B7700 Information Processing System" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 138 thereof,
Whereas on 26 October 1994 Finland notified the Commission pursuant to Article 143 of the abovementioned Act, the Finnish programme for the implementation of its Article 138, 139 and 140 aids for a number of products and activities for the period 1995 to 1999 inclusive;
Whereas parts of this programme, as modified by letter dated 16 December 1994 were approved by Commission Decision 95/33/EC (1); whereas that Decision was modified by Decision 95/330/EC (2);
Whereas, with the exception of cows' milk and starch potatoes, the part of the programme providing for aid granted in relation to quantities produced was accepted on condition that after a first year the aids were, by way of appropriate conversion rates, transformed into area or headage payments unrelated to quantities produced; whereas Commission Decision 96/18/EC (3) lays down these conversion rates for all products where Decision 95/33/EC required such action, including sugarbeet;
Whereas on 21 December 1995 Finland requested the Commission to re-examine, as regards sugarbeet, its policy concerning aid based on quantities produced; whereas the Commission has carried out this re-examination; whereas the Commission has concluded that as the provisions of the common market organization for sugar keep production under control, aid so granted may be deemed to be appropriate as required by Article 138 paragraph 1 of the abovementioned Act;
Whereas on 16 November 1995 Finland requested that the quantity of starch potatoes referred to in Article 2 paragraph 1 of Decision 95/33/EC be increased to reflect the production quota allocated to Finland in Council Regulation (EC) No 1868/94 of 27 July 1994 establishing a quota system in relation to the production of potato starch (4), as last modified by Regulation (EC) No 1863/95 (5); whereas the request is in accordance with this development of the common agricultural policy and its acceptance would contribute to greater consistency between various measures applicable in the starch sector,

Article 1
Decision 95/33/EC is hereby modified as follows:
1. In Article 2 (1) the first indent is replaced by the following:
