COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 428/89
of 20 February 1989
concerning the export of certain chemical products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Whereas, at the international conference on chemical weapons which took place in Paris from 7 to 11 January 1989, the Member States of the European Economic Community strongly condemned the use of chemical weapons and underlined their commitment to the early conclusion of a global, comprehensive and verifiable convention on the prohibition of the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons and on their destruction;
Whereas discussions in the context of European Political Cooperation led notably on 14 February 1989 to a consensus that it is necessary to take urgent measures to control the export of certain chemical products which could be used for the production of such weapons;
Whereas the European Parliament adopted on 19 January 1989 a resolution on the proliferation of chemical weapons;
Whereas Article 30 (5) of the Single European Act laid down that the external policies of the European Community and the policies agreed in European Political Cooperation must be consistent;
Whereas the interests of the Member States and of the Community require that the export of certain chemical products which could be used for the production of chemical weapons be regulated by means of urgent, effective measures; whereas the Member States therefore decided to adopt a Council regulation pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and, in the light of the circumstances surrounding its adoption, to keep under review the scope for further action;
Whereas the list of chemical products annexed to this Regulation was agreed in the context of European Political Cooperation; whereas the content of the list may be re-examined in that forum;
Whereas, in view of their nature and urgency, these measures are of paramount public importance and should accordingly be applied with immediate effect;
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Exports of the products listed in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the issue by the competent authorities in the Member States of a prior export authorization, or to equivalent measures.
Article 2
If there is reason to believe that products under consideration will be used for the development or production of chemical weapons or that there is a risk of their being delivered directly or indirectly to belligerent countries or to areas of serious international tension, no authorization shall be issued or exportation shall be prohibited by equivalent measures.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas an examination of the results of the 1985 harvest shows the need to fix aid for certain groups of varieties of hops cultivated in the Community;
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 105 and 299 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, aid for hops cultivated in Spain and Portugal will be granted as from the 1986 harvest,

Commission decision
of 6 July 1981
establishing that the apparatus described as "Finnigan-Incos 2000 data system" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(81/550/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 19 December 1980, 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 "Finnigan-Incos 2000 data system", to be used in the framework of a pharmacological study of the role and formation of prostaglandins and other metabolites of arachidonic acid in parts of the body and their involvement in pathological processes, 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 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 computer;
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 "Finnigan-Incos 2000 data system", which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 19 December 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas the requirements of charitable organizations are particularly pressing in winter; whereas large stocks of C sugar are available at this time; whereas it is accordingly desirable to make the exception apply to C sugar production of the 1992/93 marketing year onwards;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

The words 'produced under the 1990/91 marketing year' are hereby deleted from Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2670/81.
