amending Decision 80/862/EEC authorizing the Member States to provide for derogations from certain provisions of Council Directive 77/93/EEC, in respect of potato breeding material

(86/119/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of harmful organisms of plant or plant products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Article 14 (3) thereof,

Having regard to the requests made by the Member States,

Whereas under the provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, potato material intended for planting, other than tubers, may in principle not be introduced into any Member State and potato tubers intended for planting may in principle only be introduced into the Member States where they belong to officially accepted varieties or to advance selections;

Whereas, however, Article 14 (3) of the abovementioned Directive permits derogations from that rule, where it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms;

Whereas in the Member States there is a need to import potato material, including tubers, for work on varietal selection, or for gene conservation or official scientific research purposes;

Whereas the Commission has established that on the basis of the information available at present, there is under such circumstances, risk of spreading harmful organism provided that certain special technical conditions are satisfied;

Whereas by Decision 80/862/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 81/587/EEC (4) the Commission has already granted such a derogation to the Member States for a period which expired on 31 December 1985;

Whereas there has since then been no information giving cause for its restriction to the abovementioned period; whereas there is, moreover, no new information giving cause for its revisions;

Whereas the Member States should therefore be authorized to provide for derogations in respect of potato breeding material for a further period under those special technical conditions;

Whereas the authorization will be extended unless new information gives cause for its revisions;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In Article 2, first sentence, of Decision 80/862/EEC, the year '1985' is hereby replaced by '1990'.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Accession of the Community to the Agreement on the temporary importation, free of duty, of medical, surgical and laboratory equipment for use on free loan in hospitals and other medical institutions for purposes of diagnosis or treatment is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 2 April 1986

establishing the delivery levels of ECSC steel products of Portuguese origin onto the rest of the common market, excluding Spain

(Only the Portuguese text is authentic)

(86/185/ECSC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Protocol 20 thereof,

Having received the assent of the Council,

Whereas Protocol 20, which covers the restructuring of the Portuguese iron and steel industry and the Joint Declaration on the Portuguese iron and steel industry, provide that deliveries of ECSC steel products of Portuguese origin onto the Community market will be the subject of quantitative limits in 1986;

Whereas, at the date of accession, there was no agreement between the Commission and the Portuguese Government on the level of these aforementioned deliveries;

Whereas, pursuant to the second subparagraph of paragraph 5 (a) of Protocol 20, it falls upon the Commission, with the assent of the Council, to establish the level of these deliveries;

Whereas, by the terms of the first subparagraph of paragraph 3 (a) of the said Joint Declaration the level of the deliveries must be compatible with the forecasts used to calculate the evolution of the Community market;

Whereas no significant changes are forecast for the Community market for 1986 in comparison with 1985, and in particular several important aspects of the internal anti-crisis measures will remain;

Whereas, therefore, the Portuguese deliveries to the rest of the Community, excluding Spain, should not exceed in 1986 the level of 90 000 tonnes, a quantity based on the traditional deliveries of Portugal to the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, taking into account the recent trend,
