COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 December 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'PMS - Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe, model FSSP-100 with Optical Array Cloud Droplet Spectrometer Probe, model OAP-230X and Data Acquisition System, model DAS-64' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/934/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 18 June 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'PMS - Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe, model FSSP-100 with Optical Array Cloud Droplet Spectrometer Probe, model OAP-230X and Data Acquisition System, model DAS-64', ordered on 8 October 1980 and to be used for the measurement of cloud droplets with diameters ranging from 2 to 600 m, on which to base a simulation of the physical processes occuring in clouds with computer models, 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 22 October 1982 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 spectrometer; 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 'PMS - Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe, model FSSP-100 with Optical Array Cloud Droplet Spectrometer Probe, model OAP-230X and Data Acquisition System, model DAS-64', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 18 June 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1104/2003(2), and in particular Article 13(2) thereof,

(2) The refunds must be fixed taking into account the factors referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1431/2003(4).
(3) As far as wheat and rye flour, groats and meal are concerned, when the refund on these products is being calculated, account must be taken of the quantities of cereals required for their manufacture. These quantities were fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(5) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) It follows from applying the detailed rules set out above to the present situation on the market in cereals, and in particular to quotations or prices for these products within the Community and on the world market, that the refunds should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 of 21 April 1997 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products (1), and in particular Article 10(f) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2628/97 (2) lays down detailed rules as regards transitional provisions for the start-up period of the system for the identification and registration of bovine animals;
Whereas in order to avoid difficulties in the domain of intra-Community trade in bovine animals it is necessary to clarify the applicable rules; whereas it is necessary to allow in certain Member States, for a transitional period until 1 March 1999 at the latest, the trade in bovine animals born after 1 January 1998 bearing ear-tags complying with Council Directive 92/102/EEC of 27 November 1992 on the identification and registration of animals (3);
Whereas such a solution is justifiable since it serves the possibility for Member States to use their existing stock of ear-tags and avoids the practical difficulties of re-identifying quickly all bovine animals which may be subject to intra-Community trade;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2628/97 should be amended accordingly;
Whereas having regard to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 820/97, it is necessary for the measures provided for in this Regulation to take effect from 1 September 1998;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following paragraph 6 is hereby added to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2628/97:
'6. Until 1 March 1999 at the latest, bovine animals which belong to the national herds of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom (with the exception of Northern Ireland), are born after 1 January 1998, and bear two ear-tags as referred to in paragraph 1, may be subject to intra-Community trade provided that those ear-tags comply with Council Directive 92/102/EEC (*) and form part of the national stocks notified in accordance with paragraph 3.
For the purposes of this paragraph, for Portugal and Germany the second ear-tag may comply with paragraph 4.
(*) OJ L 355, 5. 12. 1992, p. 32.`
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat (1),

(2)
The applications for import licences lodged during the first seven days of June 2008 for the subperiod 1 July to 30 September 2008 do not cover the total quantity available. The quantities for which applications have not been lodged should therefore be determined and these should be added to the quantity fixed for the following quota subperiod,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The quantities for which import licence applications under quota 09.4204 have not been lodged under Regulation (EC) No 979/2007, to be added to the subperiod 1 October to 31 December 2008, are 1 156 000 kg.

of 28 June 2000
amending Regulation (EC) No 1486/95 opening and providing for the administration of a tariff quota in the pigmeat sector

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1486/95(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1409/1999(3), opened quotas for a specific period. In the framework of the World Trade Organisation, the Commission committed itself to increasing tariff quotas for certain products in the pigmeat sector. It is necessary to specify the new quantities covered by the import arrangements from 1 July 2000.
(2) The utilisation of import quotas for pigmeat has been generally low in recent years and the relatively high security for import licences may be one discouraging factor in trade. In order to facilitate trade of pigmeat and to harmonise the levels of securities for import licences within the meat sectors it is necessary to review the level of security.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 laying down special measures for peas, field beans and sweet lupins
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1485/85 (4), lays down that an aid is to be granted under certain circumstances for the products in question; whereas this aid depends, according to the use made of the products, on the average world market price for soya cake or the average world market price for peas and field beans; whereas these prices, as determined in accordance with Article 4 (1) and (2) of the said Regulation, should not be the arithmetic means of several prices which would hide the actual development of the market, but rather prices that represent average market trends; whereas the word 'average' in the expressions 'average world market price for soya cake' and 'average world market price for peas and field beans' could give rise to difficulties of interpretation which should be avoided,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Articles 3 (1) and (2) and 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 the word 'average' shall be deleted.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 434/2008
of 20 May 2008
entering a designation in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Cordero de Navarra or Nafarroako Arkumea (PGI))
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with the Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, and pursuant to Article 17(2) of the same Regulation, Spain’s application to enter the designation ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ in the register was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2).
(2)
France has stated its opposition to this registration in accordance with Article 7(3)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. France indicated in particular in its statement of opposition that registration of the designation ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ would prejudice the existence of products legally on the market whose registration as a protected geographical indication, i.e. ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’ has been undergoing examination by the French authorities since 2000. The geographical area covered by this request for registration includes the historical region of Basse Navarre, an area also known as ‘Navarre française’ (French Navarre).
(3)
By way of a letter dated 22 May 2007 the Commission invited the interested parties to hold appropriate consultations with each other.
(4)
Given that no agreement was reached between Spain and France within a time frame of six months, the Commission must adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure outlined in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. In the light of the information provided by France, the Commission cannot conclude that registration of ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ would harm the rights of producers of ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’. It is impossible to tell from the statement of objection that the production of lamb in the historical area of Basse Navarre is marketed using the term ‘Navarre’.
(5)
In the light of this information, the designation ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ should be registered in accordance with Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The designation contained in the Annex to this Regulation shall be entered in the register.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
