COMMISSION DECISION

of 7 May 1982

authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to permit temporarily the marketing of wheat seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/402/EEC

(82/341/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Directive 81/561/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,

Having regard to the request submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany,

Whereas in Germany the production of wheat seed satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC has been insufficient in 1981 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;

Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;

Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1982, the marketing of seed of category 'certified seed' of the abovementioned species belonging to varieties included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species nor in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States or of the category 'commercial seed';

Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply Germany with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided that it is intended for Germany;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1982, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 6 500 tonnes of wheat seed (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori et Paol.) of the category 'certified seed' of varieties included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species nor in the national catalogues of varieties of Member States or of the category of 'commercial seed'.

The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for Germany'.

Article 2

The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 6 500 tonnes of wheat seed, provided that it is intended exclusively for Germany. The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for Germany'.

Article 3

Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 August 1982 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

Article 4

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 5 May 1982

establishing that the apparatus described as 'TRACOR - digital signal analyzer, model TN-1500-8A, with accessories' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/315/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 9 November 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 'TRACOR - digital signal analyzer, model TN-1500-8A, with accessories', ordered 6 August 1979 and to be used for the high-resolution photometric studies on the primary processes of photosynthesis and photoreception, 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 19 April 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 signal analyzer;

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 'TRACOR - digital signal analyzer, model TN-1500-8A, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 9 November 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

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), as last amended by Directive 82/436/EEC (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 8 (2) thereof,

establishing that the apparatus described as 'GWR - Superconducting Gravimeter, model TT 40, with accessories' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/478/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 30 November 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 'GWR - Superconducting Gravimeter, model TT 40, with accessories', ordered 15 October 1979 and to be used for the determination of periodic and aperiodic changes in the earth's gravitational field, with high precision, 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 14 May 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;

repealing Decision 82/73/EEC on the preferential tariff charged to glasshouse growers for natural gas in the Netherlands

(Only the Dutch text is authentic)

(82/518/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1) and to Council Regulation (EEC) No 234/68 of 27 February 1968 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in live trees and other plants, bulbs, roots and the like, cut flowers and ornamental foliage (2),

Whereas on 15 December 1981 the Commission adopted a Decision on the preferential tariff charged to glasshouse growers for natural gas in the Netherlands (3); whereas in that Decision the Commission instructed the Kingdom of the Netherlands to take the necessary measures to ensure that the aid constituted by the preferential tariff for horticulture was abolished by 1 October 1982 by alignment of the horticultural tariff on the industrial tariff;

Whereas since the adoption of that Decision the broad lines of a Community policy on energy prices have been developed;

Whereas it has subsequently been possible to find a solution which eliminates the considerable price difference noted up to that time between the price of gas supplied to glasshouse growers and that supplied to industry; whereas the new arrangement respects the principles of energy pricing policy that have emerged from the recent deliberations of the Council;

Whereas in these circumstances the Decision of 15 December 1981 no longer serves any purpose,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Decision 82/73/EEC is hereby repealed.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
