COMMISSION DECISION of 8 October 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "MKS sensor head, model 94 BH with electronics unit, model 170 M-34B" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/842/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 1 April 1981, 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 "MKS sensor head, model 94 BH with electronics unit, model 170 M-34B", to be used for gas pressure measurements, 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 9 July 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 manometer with an electronic unit;

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 "MKS sensor head, model 94 BH with electronics unit, model 170 M-34B", which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 1 April 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

relating to a postponement of the date by which certain Member States must implement their national plans for the accelerated eradication of classical swine fever

(82/18/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 80/1095/EEC of 11 November 1980 laying down conditions designed to render and keep the territory of the Community free from classical swine fever (1), and in particular Article 12 (3) thereof,

Whereas the governments of the Hellenic Republic and the Republic of Italy have requested a postponement for a period of one year of the date of implementation of their plan for the accelerated eradication of classical swine fever because of the appreciable difficulties encountered;

Whereas the five-year period for execution of the plan will take account of the possible delay of its implementation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The Hellenic Republic and the Republic of Italy are hereby allowed to submit their accelerated plans for the eradication of classical swine fever so that they may be implemented not later than 31 December 1982.

2. The five-year period for execution of the plan shall run from the date laid down by the Commission in its Decision approving the plan; however, Community finance shall in all cases be restricted to slaughterings carried out before 1 January 1988.

Whereas Commission Decision 81/987/EEC (3) granted the Member States the option of authorizing imports into their territory, under certain conditions and from certain regions, of fresh meat from the Republic of Botswana, taking into account, in particular, the existing health situation in that country and the measures taken by that country's authorities to combat foot-and-mouth disease and to avoid its spreading into other, unaffected regions;

Whereas the situation concerning foot-and-mouth disease in Botswana continues to improve, no outbreak of the disease having occurred since September 1980; whereas it is now possible to extend the disease-free area to include the sector of district Central north of Dibete cordon fence and south of the Makoba Palapye-Sherwood Ranch cordons;

Whereas the veterinary authorities of Botswana have repeated their assurances concerning buffer zones, non-vaccination, control of movement and other measures; whereas the situation in Botswana will continue to be kept under review;
