COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 560/97 of 26 March 1997 on additional quantities of textile products to be made available to the Republic of Indonesia

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 Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/97 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas for certain categories of textile products Indonesia had issued 1996 export licences for amounts in excess of its 1996 quota levels and that Indonesia is willing to adopt the necessary measures to take into account this over-licensing in the management of its exports in 1997;
Whereas, this has led to a situation where importers are unable to receive an import licence for goods which have already been paid for and shipped to the European Community and that the goods are consequently blocked in the ports of arrival;
Whereas overshipments of this type are an exceptional occurrence due to a breakdown in communication between Indonesia's central licensing office and its regional offices;
Whereas Indonesia and the European Community are currently making efforts to establish a system of control which will greatly reduce the risk of this situation reoccurring in the future;
Whereas the quantities in question are minor when compared to the total level of imports into the European Community of the corresponding products and that therefore there would be no risk of market disruption if the goods were released into free circulation;
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 allows the Commission to open up additional opportunities for imports under particular circumstances;

COMMISSION DECISION
of 14 March 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Del Mar - Trendsetter Dynamic Electrocardioscanner Analysis System, model DCG VII' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/120/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 7 September 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 'Del Mar - Trendsetter Dynamic Electrocardioscanner Analysis System, model DCG VII', ordered on 18 July 1980 and intended to be used for the study on the incidence of arrhythmia in the case of various heart diseases and on the use of new drugs for the treatment of arrhythmia, 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 1 March 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an analysis system;
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 'Del Mar - Trendsetter Dynamic Electrocardioscanner Analysis System, model DCG VII', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 7 September 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
