COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2539/90
of 31 August 1990
reintroducing the levying of the customs duties applicable to jewellery of CN codes 7113 11 00 and 7113 19 00 originating in Thailand, to which the preferential tariff arrangements of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3896/89 apply
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3896/89 of 18 December 1989 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1990 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas, in pursuance of Article 1 of that Regulation, customs duties on certain products originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III are totally suspended, and the products as such are, as a general rule, subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 8;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 8, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be reintroduced, once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered is equal, as a general rule, to 6 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1987;
Whereas, in the case of jewellery of CN codes 7113 11 00 and 7113 19 00 originating in Thailand the reference base is fixed at ECU 9 044 000; whereas that reference base was reached on 28 February 1990 by charges of imports into the Community of the products in question originating in Thailand; whereas the exchange of information organised by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties for the products in question must be reintroduced with regard to Thailand,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
As from 4 September 1990, the levying of customs duties, suspended in pursuance of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3896/89, shall be reintroduced on imports into the Community of the following products, originating in Thailand:

COMMISSION DECISION
of 19 March 2010
withdrawing the reference of standard EN 353-1:2002 ‘Personal protective equipment against falls from a height - Part 1: Guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line’ in accordance with Council Directive 89/686/EEC
(notified under document C(2010) 1619)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/170/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 December 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to personal protective equipment (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Standing Committee set up by Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society Services (2),
Whereas:
(1)
The European standard EN 353-1:2002 ‘Personal protective equipment against falls from a height - Part 1: Guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line’, was adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 12 March 2002. The reference of the standard was first published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 28 August 2003 (3).
(2)
The United Kingdom has lodged a formal objection in respect of standard EN 353-1:2002.
(3)
With regard to clause 4.7 of EN 353-1:2002, the United Kingdom considers that the specifications relating to the user instructions fail to satisfy the requirements set out in Section 1.4(a) and (b) of Annex II to the Directive.
(4)
With regard to clause 5 of standard EN 353-1:2002, the United Kingdom considers that the test method prescribed does not test for reasonably foreseeable fall conditions such as a ‘fall back’ or ‘sideways’ fall, which leads to a significant risk that the device could fail. Consequently, the United Kingdom considers that the standard fails to satisfy the requirements set out in Sections 1.1.1 and 3.1.2.2 of Annex II to the Directive.
(5)
Having examined standard EN 353-1:2002 the Commission has established that the standard fails to fully satisfy the basic health and safety requirements set out in Sections 1.1.1, 1.4 and 3.1.2.2 of Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC.
(6)
The reference of standard EN 353-1:2002 should therefore be withdrawn from the list of harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union, with the result that compliance with relevant national standards transposing the harmonised standard EN 353-1:2002 no longer confers the presumption of conformity to the basic requirements of Directive 89/686/EEC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The reference of standard EN 353-1:2002 ‘Personal protective equipment against falls from a height - Part 1: Guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line’ is withdrawn from the list of harmonised standards published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(3)
Examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising these grading methods are fulfilled.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 7 April 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Aminco - Hem-o-scan Oxygen Equilibrium Curve Analyzer, model J4-9675 A' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/170/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 21 October 1982, the United Kingdom 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 - Hem-o-scan Oxygen Equilibrium Curve Analyzer, model J4-9675 A', ordered on 7 May 1982 and intended to be used in vitro research on the effects of oxygen deprivation and other forms of adverse metabolic stress on the deformability of human red cells, 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 analyzer;
Whereas it does not have 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 'Aminco - Hem-o-scan Oxygen Equilibrium Curve Analyzer, model J4-9675 A', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 21 October 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
