Whereas:
(1)
Outbreaks of avian influenza occurred in the United Kingdom in 2006. The emergence of that disease presented a serious risk to the Community’s livestock population.

In order to prevent the spread of the disease and to help eradicate it as quickly as possible, the Community should contribute financially towards the eligible expenditure incurred by the Member State under the emergency measures taken to combat the disease, as provided for in Decision 90/424/EEC.
(3)
Commission Decision 2007/272/EC of 25 April 2007 on a financial contribution from the Community towards emergency measures taken to combat avian influenza in the United Kingdom in 2006 (2) granted a financial contribution at the rate of 50 % of the expenditure eligible for Community funding for the implementation of the measures taken to combat this outbreak.
(4)
Pursuant to that Decision, the Community financial contribution is to be paid on the basis of the request submitted by the United Kingdom on 18 May 2007 and supporting documents referred to in Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (3).

In view of those considerations, the total amount of the Community’s financial contribution to the eligible expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of avian influenza in the United Kingdom in 2006 should now be fixed.
(6)
The results of the inspections carried out by the Commission in compliance with the Community veterinary rules and the conditions for granting Community financial contributions mean the entire amount of the expenditure submitted cannot be recognised as eligible for a Community financial contribution.

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 9 October 1979, the Government of Italy has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure now provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Ampex-multiband instrumentation recorder, model FR-3020", intended for use in connection with stratospheric experiments in telemetry 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 27 March 1980 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 magnetic recorder;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; 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 technical evolution of this kind of apparatus leads to the conclusion that this is applicable for all magnetic recorders ; whereas, moreover, these recorders are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas, therefore, the contrary Decisions which were adopted in the past by the Commission for this type of apparatus need to be repealed,
