COMMISSION DECISION of 23 December 1980 concerning health protection measures with regard to imports of certain fresh meat from the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (80/1300/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), as last amended by Directive 77/98/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 16 and 28 thereof,

Whereas the health conditions and health certificates required on imports of fresh meat from Brazil were laid down by Commission Decision 78/694/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 79/690/EEC (4), notably on account of the situation with regard to foot and mouth disease then existing in Brazil;

Whereas, because a large number of outbreaks of foot and mouth disease occurred in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, it was necessary to suspend by Commission Decision 80/798/EEC (5), the authorization of imports of certain fresh meat from that State until 30 September 1980 ; whereas this suspension was extended until 31 December 1980 by Commission Decision 80/960/EEC (6);

Whereas this suspension can now be revoked, following an improvement in the situation ; whereas, however, the meat produced during and prior to the suspension period, because of animal health risks, should not be authorized by Member States for import into the Community;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The suspension of authorization of imports of fresh meat of bovine animals from the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil is hereby revoked.

2. Nevertheless the authorization of the imports of fresh meat produced or originating in Rio Grande do Sul prior to 1 January 1981 shall continue to be suspended.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 23 December 1980.

Commission Decision

of 30 January 1981

establishing that the apparatus described as "PAR — vibrating sample magnetometer, model 155" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(81/93/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 17 July 1980, the Government of 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 "PAR — vibrating sample magnetometer, model 155", to be used for research investigating the magnetic properties of solids as a function of temperature and magnetic field, 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 8 January 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 magnetometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the high precision and the measuring range, 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 "magnetic susceptibility system, comprising of a PAR balance" manufactured by Oxford Instruments Co. Ltd, Osney Maid, UK-Oxford OX2 ODX,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION :

Article 1

The apparatus described as "PAR-vibrating sample magnetometer, model 155", which is the subject of an application by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany of 17 July 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 5 March 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Perkin Elmer-Sigma 10 chromatography data station" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/173/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 25 October 1980, the Italian Government 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-Sigma 10 chromatography data station", to be used for recording and processing of extremely accurate gas or liquid chromatography data, should be considered as 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 29 January 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 computer;

Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as "Perkin Elmer-Sigma 10 chromatography data station", which is the subject of an application by the Italian Government of 25 October 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
