COMMISSION DECISION of 30 December 1982 establishing that the apparatus described as "Dionex - Ion Chromatograph, model 10" may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (82/966/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 19 May 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 "Dionex - Ion Chromatograph, model 10", ordered on 21 January 1982 and to be used for the study of the reaction kinetics in the heterogeneous degradation of sulphur dioxide in cloud and precipitation elements, 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 15 November 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 chromatograph ; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the sensibility of the analysis 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 "Dionex - Ion Chromatograph, model 10", which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 19 May 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 13 December 1982

approving an amendment to the programme for the cheese industry in the Land Baden-Wuerttemberg pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77

(Only the German text is authentic)

(82/907/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), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas on 12 March 1982 the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany forwarded an amendment to the programme for the cheese industry in the Land Baden-Wuerttemberg, approved by the Decision of 17 December 1980, and on 30 August 1982 provided additional details;

Whereas this amendment, which provides for an increase in the volume of investment, an extension of the programme by one year and an enlargement of its geographical scope, alters neither the subject nor the objective of the approved programme; whereas the amended programme therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the reservations made in the Decision of 17 December 1980 also apply in respect of the programme;

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

The amendment to the programme for the cheese industry in the Land Baden-Wuerttemberg, submitted by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 on 12 March 1982 and supplemented on 30 August 1982, is hereby approved subject to Article 1 (2) of Commission Decision 80/1323/EEC.

COMMISSION DECISION of 23 December 1982 amending Council Decision 82/734/EEC on the list of establishments in the Swiss Confederation approved for the purposes of exporting fresh meat into the Community (82/960/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,

Whereas a list of establishments in Switzerland, approved for the purposes of the export of fresh meat to the Community, was drawn up initially by Council Decision 82/734/EEC (2);

Whereas a routine inspection made in application of Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 3 (1) of Commission Decision 80/15/EEC of 21 December 1979 concerning the on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals, swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (3), has revealed that the level of hygiene of certain establishments may be considered to be satisfactory ; whereas these establishments may therefore be kept or entered on the Community list;

Whereas this inspection has, however, revealed in other establishments that in some cases insufficient effort has been made to improve hygiene standards, and in other cases those standards have fallen ; whereas the condition of some of these plants does not necessitate immediate withdrawal of approval, but does justify limiting Community approval to a certain period at the end of which the said approval will expire unless, meanwhile, the necessary measures have been put into effect and verified by a further on-the-spot inspection, to be requested by the Swiss authorities if they deem it necessary;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend the list of establishments;

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

Decision 82/734/EEC is hereby amended as follows: 1. Article 4 is replaced by the following:

"Article 4

This Decision shall be reviewed and if necessary amended before 30 June 1983, particular account being taken of measures applied by the Swiss authorities in the fields of veterinary inspection and slaughter hygiene."

2. The Annex is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

establishing that the apparatus described as 'SPEX - Double Spectrometer, model 1403' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/11/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 28 June 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 - Double Spectrometer, model 1403', ordered on 30 September 1981 and to be used for the studies of the photochemistry and photophysics of electrically conducting polymers and in particular for the measurement of the frequency-shifted scattered light or fluorescence light, 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 December 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 monochromator;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the value of the light intensity and the 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, 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 'Ramanor U 1000' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91160 Longjumeau,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as 'SPEX - Double Spectrometer, model 1403', which is subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 28 June 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas structural changes have come about in the European organizations representing agricultural workers since the setting up of the Joint Committee and new needs have arisen because of the enlargement of the Community;

Whereas the Commission must take account of the situation in the individual Member States so as to ensure the participation of employers and employees in agriculture in the work of the Joint Committee and thus maintain the effective representation of all interested parties;

Whereas the presence at the Committee's meetings of observers from organizations other than those referred to in Article 4 of Commission Decision 74/442/EEC (1) may increase the Committee's effectiveness,

(Only the German text is authentic)

(83/55/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,

After consulting the Fund Committee,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (2) (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, the Commission, on the basis of the annual accounts submitted by the Member States, clears the accounts relating to expenditure incurred by the authorities and bodies referred to in Article 4 of that Regulation;

Whereas, under Commission Decision 81/1034/EEC of 16 November 1981 (2), a fraction of the expenditure declared in the wine sector corresponding to aid paid for private storage was not financed, for the reason that such aid had not been granted in accordance with Community rules under the common organization of agriculture markets;

Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany has disputed this Decision among others which concern this expenditure;

Whereas it is averred that the material conditions allowing the recognition of an amount of DM 945,51 have been established by the Federal Republic of Germany; whereas, therefore, the said expenditure should be recognized as chargeable to the EAGGF, Guarantee Section,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

(83/111/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas experience has shown that the number of representatives of agriculture is not sufficient to ensure that the agri-food section, which has gained increasing importance in the past years, be represented within this category and therefore participate usefully in the work of the Committee; whereas an additional seat should therefore be provided for that category,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Article 3 of Decision 73/351/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:

'Article 3

1. The Committee shall consist of 38 members.
