establishing that the apparatus described as 'PAR - Oma 2 System' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/166/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 16 September 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'PAR - Oma 2 System', ordered on 6 December 1979 and intended to be used for surface- and spectro-photometry in respect of the spherical star clusters of neighbouring galaxies, 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 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 a multichannel analyzer;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision in the spectral field of the action, 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

The apparatus described as 'PAR - Oma 2 System', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 16 September 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas Council Decision 82/838/EEC (4) recognizes certain parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as being either officially swine-fever-free or swine-fever-free;

Whereas outbreaks of classical swine fever have been recorded in some of the parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany referred to in Annexes I and II to Decision 82/838/EEC;

Whereas, by Decision 83/28/EEC (5), the Commission has suspended for a period of 15 days the status of official freedom from swine fever or freedom from swine fever of affected parts of German territory;

Whereas taking account of the epidemiological evolution of the disease, the Commission, by Decision 83/68/EEC (6), temporarily prolonged this period of suspension for certain regions beyond the 15 days provided for initially;

Whereas, since that time, study of the epidemiological situation leads to the conclusion that the disease has persisted in certain districts and it is necessary to withdraw the status of officially swine-fever-free from these districts;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The status of those parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as areas recognized to be officially swine-fever-free within the meaning of Article 4c (1) (c) of Directive 64/432/EEC is withdrawn for the regions listed in the Annex to this Decision.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 25 May 1983

approving a programme for the animal breeding and insemination sector in the Land of Bavaria pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77

(Only the German text is authentic)

(83/278/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3164/82 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas on 12 May 1982 the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany forwarded a programme for the animal breeding and insemination sector in the Land of Bavaria, providing supplementary information on 14 December 1982;

Whereas the section of the programme dealing with insemination, and in particular the construction of buildings to house breeding animals, does not concern the processing and marketing of agricultural products within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the part of the programme dealing with animal breeding provides for the creation and improvement of facilities for marketing breeding animals, in particular the construction of new auction arenas, with the aim of giving livestock farmers in Bavaria access to high-quality breeding animals for improving stock in Bavaria and of assuring animal breeders a reliable income; whereas this part constitutes a programme as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the programme contains the details required under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 showing that the objectives laid down in Article 1 of the said Regulation can be achieved in respect of the abovementioned sector; whereas the schedule for implementation of the programme does not exceed the time limit laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the said Regulation;

Whereas the question under what conditions the common action initiated by Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 will be continued beyond the date laid down in Article 16 (1) of the said Regulation remains open; whereas it is therefore appropriate to limit approval of the programme to applications referred to in Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The programme for the animal breeding and insemination sector in the Land of Bavaria submitted by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 on 12 May 1982, and supplemented on 14 December 1982, is hereby approved in respect of the animal breeding section only.

2. This approval is confined to projects presented up to 1 May 1984.

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 9 November 1982, the Federal Republic of 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 'Spex - Spectrofluorometer, model Fluorolog 2', ordered on 2 October 1981 and intended to be used for laser dye spectroscopy, 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 21 March 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 very high resolution power, 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
