COMMISSION DECISION

of 9 December 1982

approving a programme relating to structure of the market for flowers and ornamental plants in the Land Hamburg pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77

(Only the German text is authentic)

(82/872/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural products are processed and marketed (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany forwarded its programme relating to the structure of the market for flowers and ornamental plants in the Land Hamburg on 25 November 1981 and supplied additional information on 1 June 1982;

Whereas the said programme relates to the rebuilding of a wholesale market hall for flowers at the Hamburg wholesale fruit and vegetable market;

Whereas the marketing of ornamental plants in Northern Germany (Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, and the districts of Lueneberg in the Land Lower Saxony) is concentrated at the wholesale flower market in Hamburg;

Whereas implementation of the project for rebuilding a wholesale market hall for flowers contained in the programme will have repercussions both for the structure of the market in the Federal Republic of Germany for some of the products concerned and for a number of producers that will be much more extensive than those that an individual project covered by Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 may normally have;

Whereas these repercussions will consist in a reorganization of the marketing of ornamental plants in the areas specified and hence in a lasting improvement in marketing conditions for the producers concerned;

Whereas the said programme therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the programme can be approved only subject to the policy on the processing and marketing of agricultural products that will be adopted by the Community once Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 has lapsed;

Whereas the programme contains sufficient information, as required by Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, to show that the objectives laid down in Article 1 of the said Regulation can be achieved in respect of the sector concerned in the areas specified;

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 programme relating to the structure of the market for flowers and ornamental plants in the Land Hamburg forwarded by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 on 25 November 1981, concerning which additional information was suppled on 1 June 1982, is hereby approved.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 19 January 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Macbeth - X-Y Recorder' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/24/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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (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 13 July 1982, Italy 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 'Macbeth - X-Y Recorder', ordered in December 1979 and to be used for the photometric and calorimetric measurements on solids and in particular for the reflectance measurement from 380 to 720 nm and for the measurement of K/S values for determining pigments, 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 14 December 1982 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 recorder;

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 'Macbeth - X-Y Recorder', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 13 July 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

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 29 July 1982, Italy 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 'Bio-Dynamics - High Resolution Ultrasound System, model Biosound', ordered in March 1981 and intended for use in research on the evolution of arterial lesion in patients without clinical manifestations of vasculopathy and, in particular, in the study of blood-vessels that have minor degrees of stenosis, 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 15 December 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;

Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an ultrasound system;

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,
