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 29 December 1981, Belgium 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 'Aminco - Spectrofluorometer, model J 4-8970', ordered 8 September 1978 and to be used for research in the field of the micro and submicro analysis of plant phenolic and related compounds and also for determining the activity of the N-feruloyglycine deferulase enzyme, should be considered to be 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 14 May 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 spectrofluorometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the resolution power of the spectrum and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'SFR 100' manufactured by Baird Atomic Ltd, East Street, UK-Braintree, Essex and to the apparatus 'JY 3 C' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91163 Longjumeau Cédex,

amending Council Decision 2001/131/EC concluding the consultation procedure with Haiti under Article 96 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement
(2003/53/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, implemented in advance by Decision No 1/2000 of the ACP-EC Council of Ministers(1), and in particular Article 96 thereof,
Having regard to the Internal Agreement on measures to be taken and procedures to be followed for the implementation of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, as provisionally applied by Decision of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States on 18 September 2000, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On the basis of Council Decision 2001/131/EC of 29 January 2001 concluding the consultation procedure with Haiti under Article 96 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement(2), the provision of financial aid to Haiti is partially suspended as "appropriate measures" pursuant to Article 96(2)(c) of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement.

However, actions to support democratisation, the strengthening of the rule of law and the electoral process deserve to be supported, and in particular in support of the mission with which the Organisation of American States (OAS) was entrusted by its Resolutions No 806 and No 822. Actions to strengthen civil society and the private sector, to fight poverty and those of direct benefit to the Haitian people should be further implemented,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
Decision 2001/131/EC is amended as follows:

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1195/2006
of 18 July 2006
amending Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on persistent organic pollutants
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 (1), and in particular Article 7(4)(a) and Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The Commission conducted a study on the implementation of waste-related provisions of Regulation (EC) No 850/2004.
(2)
The proposed concentration limits in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 are considered the most appropriate to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment in view of the destruction or irreversible transformation of the persistent organic pollutants.
(3)
For toxaphene, a mixture of over 670 substances, no agreed and relevant analytical methodology to determine the total concentration is available. However, the above mentioned study did not identify any stocks consisting of, containing or contaminated with toxaphene in the European Union. In addition, the study demonstrated that, whenever any persistent organic pollutant pesticides were detected in wastes, their concentrations were usually high when compared with the proposed concentration limits. For the time being, the available analytical methodologies for the determination of toxaphene may be considered adequate for the purposes of this Regulation.
(4)
The concentration limit for PCDF/PCDD is expressed in toxic equivalent concentration (‘TEQ’), using the 1998 World Health Organisation toxic equivalency factors (‘TEFs’). Available data on dioxin-like PCBs are not sufficient to include these compounds in the TEQ.
(5)
Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) is the name of a technical mixture of various isomers. The effort to completely analyse them would be disproportionate. Only alpha-, beta- and gamma-HCH is of toxicological relevance. Therefore, the concentration limit exclusively refers to them. Most commercially available analytical standard mixtures for the analysis of this compound class only identify these isomers.
(6)
Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The Committee provided for in Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 has not delivered an opinion on the measures laid down in this Regulation, following its consultation, on 25 January 2006, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17(2) of that Regulation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 shall be replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1809/2001(2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

(1) Paragraph 6 of the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Republic of India on arrangements in the area of market access for textiles products, initialled on 31 December 1994 and approved by Council Decision 96/386/EC(3), provides that favourable consideration is to be given to certain requests from the Republic of India for "exceptional flexibility" in the setting of quotas for those products.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1442/2001 of 16 July 2001 on the authorisation of transfers between the quantitative limits of textiles and clothing products originating in the Republic of India(4) and (EC) No 1954/2001 of 5 October 2001 authorising transfers between the quantitative limits of textiles and clothing products originating in the Republic of India(5) accommodated two such requests from the Republic of India.
(3) On 27 September 2001 the Republic of India submitted a revised request for modification of the transfers authorised by those Regulations.
(4) The transfers, as modified, requested by the Republic of India, fall within the limits of the flexibility provisions in Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.
(5) It is, therefore, appropriate to grant the revised request and Regulations (EC) No 1442/2001 and (EC) No 1954/2001 should be amended accordingly.
(6) It is desirable for this Regulation to enter into force on the day after its publication in order to allow operators to benefit from it as soon as possible.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
