COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 962/2007
of 14 August 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 996/97 on the opening and administration of an import tariff quota for frozen thin skirt of bovine animals falling within CN code 0206 29 91
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 996/97 (2) provides for the opening and administration, on a multi-annual basis, of an import tariff quota for frozen thin skirt of bovine animals falling within CN code 0206 29 91.
(2)
The first paragraph of Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (3) provides that import licences should not be valid after the last day of the import tariff quota period.
(3)
In order to align the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 996/97 to those in Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, Regulation (EC) No 996/97 was amended by Regulation (EC) No 568/2007, in particular by deleting the provision concerning the period of validity of import licences.
(4)
Since Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (4) provides that import licences shall be valid 90 days from their date of issue, it is necessary to clarify in Regulation (EC) No 996/97 that licences should be valid until the end of the import tariff quota period.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 996/97 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
In order to ensure that the import licences issued for the import tariff quota period from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008 are valid until the end of that import tariff quota period, it should be provided that this amendment applies as from the quota period starting on 1 July 2007.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 996/97, the following paragraph 3 is added:
‘3. By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95, import licences shall be valid until the end of the import tariff quota period.’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to import licences issued as from the quota period starting on 1 July 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 lays down a list of third countries and territories from which movement of pet animals to the Community may be authorised, provided that certain requirements are met.
(2)
A provisional list of third countries was established by Regulation (EC) No 998/2003, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 592/2004 (2). That list includes countries and territories which are free of rabies and countries in respect of which the risk of rabies entering the Community as a result of movements from their territories has been found to be no higher than the risk associated with movements between Member States.
(3)
From information supplied by Taiwan, it appears that Taiwan is free of rabies and that the risk of rabies entering the Community as a result of movements of pet animals from Taiwan has been found to be no higher than the risk associated with movements between Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

Whereas, by letter dated 28 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 6 November 1978 and to be used for research on the mechanisms of lead interference in heme synthesis in various types of cells and on the potentials of membrane cells, 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,
