COMMISSION DECISION

of 26 February 1982

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - scattered transmission UV-VIS double-beam spectrophotometer, model 576' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/183/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 28 August 1981, Italy 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 - scattered transmission UV-VIS double-beam spectrophotometer, model 576', to be used for the study of cell cultures, 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 provisons of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 December 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 spectrophotometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the spectrophotometric field 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:

Article 1

The apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - scattered transmission UV-VIS double-beam spectrophotometer, model 576', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 28 August 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Directive 81/561/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,

Having regard to the request submitted by the Kingdom of the Netherlands,

Whereas in the Netherlands the production of wheat seed satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC has been insufficient in 1981 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;

Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;

Whereas the Kingdom of the Netherlands should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1982, the marketing of seed of the category 'certified seed' of the abovementioned species belonging to varieties included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of acricultural plant species nor in the national catalogues of varieties of Member States or of the category 'commercial seed';

Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply the Netherlands with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided that it is intended for the Netherlands;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture Horticulture and Forestry,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is hereby authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1982, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 1 000 tonnes of wheat seed (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori et Paol.) of the category 'certified seed' of varieties included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species nor in its national catalogues of varieties of Member States or of the category of 'commercial seed'.

The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for the Netherlands'.

Article 2

The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 1 000 tonnes of wheat seed, provided that it is intended exclusively for the Netherlands. The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for the Netherlands'.

Article 3

Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 August 1982 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

COUNCIL DECISION

of 24 June 1982

authorizing certain Member States to raise the level of the interest rate subsidies provided for by Directive 72/159/EEC on the modernization of farms

(82/438/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 72/159/EEC of 17 April 1972 on the modernization of farms (1), as last amended by Directive 82/436/EEC (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 8 (2) and the second subparagraph of Article 19 (1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, under the first indent of the second subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of Directive 72/159/EEC, the Member States may be authorized to grant interest rate subsidies exceeding 5 % if such action is warranted by the situation of the capital market in the Member States;

Whereas the interest rates currently applicable in Member States to long-term agricultural loans and the exceptional burden placed on farmers wishing to modernize their holdings by these interest rates, which are well in excess of the minimum laid down by Directive 72/159/EEC, may adversely affect, or even make impossible, the modernization of agriculture which this Directive aims to achieve;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to grant further interest rate subsidies;

Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 19 (1) of Directive 72/159/EEC stipulates that increased expenditure incurred by Member States as a result of an increase in the interest rate subsidies may be declared eligible for assistance from the Guidance Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund; whereas the Fund must make a financial contribution towards such expenditure,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are hereby authorized to increase by 3 % the interest rate subsidies referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of Directive 72/159/EEC and in Article 9 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, provided that the interest rate which remains to be paid by the recipient of the aid is not less than that laid down in the Articles concerned, and provided that the increased interest rate subsidy shall be limited in application only to the first 10 years of the duration of a loan.

Article 2

Expenditure incurred by Member States pursuant to Article 1 shall be eligible for assistance from the Guidance Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund within the limits fixed in the first subparagraph of Article 19 (3) of Directive 72/159/EEC.

Article 3

This Decision shall apply until 31 December 1983.

Article 4

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the French Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
