COUNCIL DECISION of 15 February 1993 authorizing the United Kingdom to apply an optional measure derogating from Article 17 of the sixth Directive (77/388/EEC) on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes

(93/111/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the sixth Council Directive (77/388/EEC) of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, under the terms of Article 27 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from the provisions of that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;

Whereas the United Kingdom was authorized, by Decision 90/497/EEC (2), in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 (1) to (4) of Directive 77/388/EEC, to apply a measure derogating from Article 17 (1) of the said Directive until 31 December 1992;

Whereas the United Kingdom, by means of a letter dated 26 October 1992 and received by the Commission on 28 October 1992, requested authorization to extend the said derogation until 31 December 1996;

Whereas the other Member States were informed on 27 November 1992 of the United Kingdom's request;

Whereas this special measure derogating from Article 17 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC forms part of an optional system of taxation for firms with an annual turnover of less than £350 000 based on the third subparagraph of Article 10 (2) of the said Directive, which permits payment of tax to be deferred until receipt of the price;

Whereas the United Kingdom wishes to increase the turnover ceiling from £300 000 to £350 000 to take account of inflation;

Whereas that request can be accepted in view of the limited number of firms that have opted for this simplified scheme and the limited duration of the extension in question;

Whereas the derogation concerned has no negative effect on the own resources of the European Communities accruing from VAT,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

By way of derogation from the provisions of Article 17 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the United Kingdom is hereby authorized, until 31 December 1996, to provide within an optional scheme that enterprises with an annual turnover of less than £350 000 must postpone the right of deduction of tax until it has been paid to the supplier.

COMMISSION DECISION of 29 March 1993 amending the Seventh Council Decision 85/356/EEC on the equivalence of seed produced in third countries

(93/225/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas in Decision 85/356/EEC the Council determined that seed of certain species produced in Turkey was equivalent to corresponding seed produced in the Community;

Whereas an examination of the rules of Turkey and of the manner in which they are applied has shown that, in respect of maize and sunflower, the conditions governing seed harvested and controlled there afford the same assurances as regards the seeds' characteristics identity, examination, marking and control as do the conditions applicable to such seed harvested and controlled within the Community;

Whereas the existing equivalence for Turkey should therefore be extended accordingly;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

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

Whereas a mutually satisfactory agreement was reached in the negotiations initiated with the United States of America and took the form of a Memorandum of Understanding;

Whereas this Memorandum of Understanding should be quickly given effect, so that the deadlines contained therein can be met,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Memorandum of Understanding between the European Economic Community and the United States of America on oil seeds in the framework of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is hereby approved on behalf of the European Economic Community.
