MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION
COMMISSION DECISION of 22 March 1979 relating to the monitoring within the Community of exports of untreated calf and bovine hides (79/365/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 of 20 December 1969 establishing common rules for exports (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

After consultation within the committee provided for in Article 4 of the said Regulation,

Whereas the Commission, in letters sent to the Permanent Representations of the Member States on 20 September 1972, requested the latter to provide it with the figures necessary to monitor exports of untreated calf and bovine hides;

Whereas the decline in the availability of untreated hides in the Community, as a result of the appreciable reduction in slaughtering since 1977 and the considerable growth of exports to non-member countries, is leading to renewed shortages in the Community which is being reflected in the level of prices;

Whereas the existing monitoring system should therefore be strengthened;

Whereas, to that end, the rules relating to the transmission to the Commission of the figures collected by the Member States should be specified and the Member State in which slaughtering took place should be determined as far as possible,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. Member States which require licences for exports of the untreated calf and bovine hides referred to in the Annex hereto shall inform the Commission within the first 15 days of each month of the quantities, in tonnes, and the total prices calculated on an fob basis for which export documents have been issued or endorsed during the previous month.

All Member States shall inform the Commission within 30 days following the end of each month of the quantities, in tonnes, and the total prices calculated on an fob basis for which exports of the products referred to above took place during that month.

2. Such information communicated by the Member States shall be classified by NIMEXE code and by country of destination and shall as far as possible show the Member State in which slaughtering took place where that Member State is not the exporting Member State.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 29 March 1979 on the refusal to accept the scientific character of an apparatus described as "Nikon mask alignment microscope" (79/392/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),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,

Whereas, by letter dated 26 September 1978, the United Kingdom Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Nikon mask alignment microscope", used in research into guided optical waves for communication purposes should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, if 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 7 February 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;

Whereas this examination shows that the apparatus in question is a microscope of rather simple conception which is used mainly for the manufacture of integrated circuits ; whereas in itself it does not have objective scientific characteristics making it specially suited to pure scientific research ; whereas its use in this particular case cannot in itself give it the character of a scientific apparatus specially suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it cannot therefore be regarded as a scientific apparatus,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as "Nikon mask alignment microscope" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

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), and in particular Article 18 (3) thereof,

Whereas on 10 January 1979 the Government of the United Kingdom notified provisions redetermining for 1979 the comparable earned income and indicating its rate of growth;

Whereas Article 18 (3) of Directive 72/159/EEC requires the Commission to determine whether, having regard to the abovementioned provisions, the existing provisions for the implementation in the United Kingdom of Directive 72/159/EEC continue to satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to common measures within the meaning of Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC;

Whereas the comparable income for 1979 and its rate of increase as indicated in the abovementioned provisions correspond to the objectives of Article 4 of Directive 72/159/EEC;

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 provisions for the implementation of Directive 72/159/EEC, as notified by the Government of the United Kingdom on 22 May 1974, as now applicable in the light of the provisions notified on 10 January 1979 specifying the comparable income for 1979 and indicating its rate of growth, continue to satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to common measures within the meaning of Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC.
