THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3362/94 of 20 December 1994 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1995 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2780/95 (3), provides for haddock quotas for 1995;

Whereas Article 19 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 states in particular that a refund may be paid for the export in the unaltered state of inulin syrup referred to in Article 1 (1) (h) of that Regulation; whereas, in view of the great similarity between inulin syrup and isoglucose, the refund on exports of the former in the unaltered state should be calculated in the same way as that for isoglucose; whereas, however, in view of the criteria laid down in Article 13b of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 394/70 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1555/94 (4), and given that production quotas, production levies and the import levy for inulin syrup are multiplied by 1,9 as in the case of sugar and isoglucose, that coefficient should also be applied to the export refund for inulin syrup;
Whereas the export refund for inulin syrup should be fixed each month like that for isoglucose and sugar syrups;
Whereas the production of inulin syrup in respect of the 1994/95 marketing year, as well as the requirements with regard to the export of this product, will not be known before 1 January 1995; whereas it is consequently appropriate to defer application from this measure and to fix the export refunds for this product as from that date;

The refund shall be fixed each month.'
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1995.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 20 December 1995 refusing Austria's application for protective measures with regard to pharmaceutical products coming from Spain (Only the German text is authentic) (96/321/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 379 thereof,
Having regard to the application by Austria,
Whereas Austria, by letter of 30 November 1995, applied to the Commission for authorization to invoke Article 379 of the Act of Accession for safeguard measures, aimed at solving the problem caused by the expiry of the transitional period provided for by Article 47 of the Act of Accession, concerning pharmaceutical products coming from Spain, which are protected in Austria by a product patent but not in Spain;
Whereas in their request, the Austrian authorities provided the Commission with the material facts to enable it to evaluate the validity of the application;
Whereas the Austrian authorities base their application upon the economic difficulties to which the pharmaceutical products market in Austria would, according to them, be subjected as a result of the expiry of the transitional period provided for by Article 47 of the Act of Accession, namely as from 7 October 1995; whereas the expiry of the transitional period will lead to an appreciable increase in parallel imports from Spain;
Whereas Article 379 derogates from a fundamental principle of the EC Treaty, that of the free movement of goods; whereas consequently in accordance with the well-established case-law of the Court of Justice it should be restrictively interpreted;
Whereas consequently, in accordance with that case-law and with the established practice of the Commission in the past, Article 379 of the Act of Accession cannot apply;
Whereas the purpose of Article 379 is to rectify and adjust to the economy of the common market a given economic sector experiencing economic difficulties which are serious and liable to persist;
Whereas an analysis of the economic data provided by the Austrian authorities has shown that the conditions for the application of Article 379 are not fulfilled; whereas, more particularly, it has revealed that the Austrian pharmaceutical industry is not experiencing economic difficulties which are serious and liable to persist; whereas an increase in the volume of imports coming from Spain of pharmaceutical products patented in Austria but not in Spain would not appear to be so significant in the long run as to bring about, by itself, serious economic difficulties on the Austrian pharmaceutical market,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The application for safeguard measures made by Austria under Article 379 of the Act of Accession, aimed at solving the problem caused by the expiry of the transitional period provided for by Article 47 of the Act of Accession, concerning pharmaceutical products coming from Spain, which are protected by a product patent in Austria but not in Spain, is rejected.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Austrian Republic.

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 8 June 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 gas chromatograph; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the stability at the temperature control and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind is 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, is currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus '6800' and '3600' manufactured by Dani SpA, via Rovani 10, 20052 Milan, Italy, and to the apparatus '429', '430' and '433' manufactured by Packard Becker BV, Vulcanusweg 259, Delft, Netherlands,
