COMMISSION DECISION of 6 July 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Perkin Elmer differential scanning calorimeter, DSC-2C" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/573/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 amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (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 21 January 1981, 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 "Perkin Elmer differential scanning calorimeter, DSC-2C", to be used for the determination of the specific heat and the transition entropy of materials which have ferroelectric and other structural phase transition, and also in the study of properties of metallic glasses, for the determination of the temperature of crystallization and heat of crystallization of these materials, 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 28 April 1981 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 calorimeter;
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 "Perkin Elmer differential scanning calorimeter, DSC-2C" which is the subject of an application by Germany of 21 January 1981 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2990/94 of 5 December 1994 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops as regards the set-aside requirement for the 1995/96 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 the support system for producers of certain arable crops introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3), provides that, in order to qualify for compensatory payments under the general scheme, producers must set aside a predetermined percentage of their arable land; whereas this percentage should be re-examined to take account of production and market developments;
Whereas since the introduction of the system the cereals market has achieved a better balance as a result of a reduction in production and an increase in Community consumption; whereas this situation, together with the favourable world market situation, has resulted in a significant reduction in intervention cereal stocks; whereas it has also led to a rise in the prices for cereals on the Community market;
Whereas the present market situation for cereals is threatening to undermine, in the short term, some of the results achieved since the reform of the arable sector, in particular the continuing rise in the consumption of cereals in animal feed; whereas the rate for set-aside beginning not later than 15 January 1995 should be set temporarily therefore for the 1995/96 marketing year at a level lower than that resulting from the provisions in force,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the set-aside requirement based on rotation is hereby fixed for the 1995/96 marketing year at 12 %.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to set-aside for the 1995/96 marketing year only.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 December 1987
authorizing the United Kingdom to introduce intra-Community surveillance on imports of certain television receivers originating in the People's Republic of China which have been put into free circulation in the other Member States
(Only the English text is authentic)
(88/65/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,
Whereas Decision 87/433/EEC required Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance on the imports of the products concerned;
Whereas, on 15 December 1987, a request was made under Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC by the United Kingdom Government to the Commission of the European Communities for authorization to apply intra-Community surveillance to television receivers falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading 85.15 A III b) ex 2, originating in the People's Republic of China and put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas imports into the United Kingdom of such products originating in the People's Republic of China are subject to quantitative restrictions under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 (2);
Whereas the information given by the United Kingdom authorities in support of this application has been submitted to close examination by the Commission, in accordance with the criteria laid down by Decision 87/433/EEC;
Whereas the Commission examined, in particular, whether the imports could be made subject to intra-Community surveillance measures under Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC, whether information was given as regards the economic difficulties alleged, whether during the reference years set out in Decision 87/433/EEC there had been deflection of trade, and whether intra-Community licence applications had been submitted;
Whereas it appears from this examination that this risk does exist and that it would be appropriate to acquire full knowledge of the intra-Community imports foreseen in order to be aware of a threatening evolution;
Whereas it would therefore be appropriate to authorize the United Kingdom to submit the imports in question to a prior intra-Community surveillance until 31 December 1988,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The United Kingdom is authorized to introduce, until 31 December 1988 and in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC, intra-Community surveillance of the products listed below, originating in the People's Republic of China and put into free circulation in the other Member States.
