THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (1), as last amended by Directive 83/646/EEC (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas there has been an outbreak of classical swine fever in certain parts of the Community territory; whereas, despite the measures applied, the disease is persisting and spreading in some of those areas;
Whereas in the Federal Republic of Germany classical swine fever is widespread in certain zones;
Whereas, as a result, trade in fresh pigmeat originating in some of those areas constitutes a risk of spreading the disease; whereas some Member States have adopted protective measures in this respect;
Whereas all other Member States should therefore adopt protective measures and apply them for an appropriate period;
Whereas, in the absence of any concurring opinion from the Standing Veterinary Committee, the Commission was unable to adopt the measures it had envisaged on this matter under the procedure provided for in Article 8 of Directive 72/461/EEC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. Member States shall prohibit the introduction into their territory of fresh pigmeat obtained from pigs coming from the zones of the Member States defined in the Annex.
2. The measures provided for in paragraph 1 shall be lifted for fresh pigmeat obtained from pigs coming from one of the regions mentioned in the Annex and slaughtered not less than 30 days after the end of the last outbreak of classical swine fever in the region concerned.
Article 2
The health certificate provided for in Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (3) and accompanying pigmeat dispatched from the Member State specified in the Annex must bear the following entry: 'Meat conforming to Decision 84/10/EEC'.
Article 3
The Commission will follow developments in the situation and will, if necessary, take appropriate measures.
Article 4
The Member States shall amend the measures they apply to trade so that they comply with this Decision as from 12 January 1984. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) It is appropriate to ensure that the provisions established by Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 of 20 December 2002 implementing the Kimberley Process certification scheme for the international trade in rough diamonds(1) enable all WTO-members fulfilling the requirements of the Kimberley Process certification scheme to participate in the scheme. Therefore, the definition of participant set out in Article 2 of that Regulation and the conditions governing the insertion into the list of participants contained in Annex II to that Regulation should be amended.
(2) The Community and all other participants listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 have fulfilled the requirements of the Kimberley Process certification scheme in such a manner that the full application of all provisions of that Regulation will not lead to a serious disturbance of international trade in rough diamonds.
(3) Sufficient evidence has been submitted that those requirements will be fulfilled by 1 February 2003. The suspension of the applicability of those provisions should, therefore, be lifted from that date,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 is amended as follows:
1. Article 2(c) is replaced by the following:
"(c) 'Participant' means any State, regional economic integration organisation, WTO-member or separate customs territory that fulfils the requirements of the KP certification scheme, has notified that fact to the Chair of the KP certification scheme and is listed in Annex II;"

Whereas, by letter dated 27 October 1977, the French 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 "Tektronix logic analyzer, type 7 DO1" should be considered as scientific apparatus and, if 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 29 March 1978 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination shows that the apparatus in question is a logical word analyzer with word formation capability, used mainly for the maintenance, repair and for fault detection in logical systems;
Whereas it is a multi-purpose device in current use ; whereas it is not an accessory required for the operation of the scientific instruments and apparatus for which it is intended, within the meaning of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 ; whereas the fact of being used solely in the field of scientific research does not in itself give it the character of a device specially suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it cannot, therefore, be regarded as scientific apparatus,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as "Tektronix logic analyzer, type 7 DO1" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
