COMMISSION DECISION

of 25 April 1983

authorizing the Italian Republic to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of natural honey originating in Hungary, which have been put into free circulation in the Community

(Only the Italian text is authentic)

(83/232/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Decision 80/47/EEC of 20 December 1979 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take in respect of imports of certain products originating in third countries and put into free circulation in another Member State (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,

Whereas Decision 82/47/EEC requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports concerned;

Whereas by Decision 82/205/EEC of 22 December 1981 (2) and other relevant Decisions, the Commission authorized certain Member States to introduce intra-Community surveillance of certain imports until 30 June 1983;

Whereas, on 29 March 1983, a further request was made under Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC by the Italian Government to the Commission of the European Communities for authorization to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of natural honey falling within heading No 04.06 of the Common Customs Tariff, originating in Hungary and in free circulation in the other Member States;

Whereas the information given by the Italian authorities in support of this application has been subjected to close examination by the Commission, in accordance with the criteria laid down by Decisions 80/47/EEC and 82/205/EEC;

Whereas the Commission examined, in particular, whether the imports could be made subject to intra-Community surveillance measures under Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, whether information was given as regards the economic difficulties alleged, whether during the reference years set out in Decision 80/47/EEC there had been deflection of trade and whether intra-Community licence applications had been submitted;

Whereas this examination has shown that there is a risk that the imports set out in the Annex hereto are worsening or prolonging the existing economic difficulties; whereas, therefore, Italy should be authorized to make these imports subject to intra-Community surveillance until 30 June 1983,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Italian Republic is authorized to introduce, until 30 June 1983 and in accordance with Decision 80/47/EEC, intra-Community surveillance of the products set out in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 24 May 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Reactor - Pneumatic Transfer System, model Flexo-Rabbit' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/272/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 18 November 1982, Belgium 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 'Reactor - Pneumatic Transfer System, model Flexo-Rabbit', ordered on 7 September 1981 and intended to be used for handling samples in which the radioactivity decays rapidly after they have ceased to be irradiated, 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 25 April 1983 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 transport 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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as 'Reactor - Pneumatic Transfer System, model Flexo-Rabbit', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 18 November 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 26 May 1983

approving a programme for the processing of rape seed in Denmark pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77

(Only the Danish text is authentic)

(83/284/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), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3164/82 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas on 26 November 1982 the Danish Government forwarded the programme for the processing of rape seed;

Whereas the said programme relates to the rebuilding and modernization of facilities for the processing of rape seed, with the aim of adapting processing capacities and techniques to the increased demand; whereas the programme therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the programme contains the details required under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, showing that the objectives laid down in Article 1 of that Regulation can be achieved in the rape seed sector; whereas the schedule for implementation of the programme does not exceed the time limit laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the Regulation;

Whereas the question under what conditions the common action initiated by Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 will be continued beyond the date laid down in Article 16 (1) of the said Regulation remains open; whereas it is therefore appropriate to limit approval of the programme to applications referred to in Article 24 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The programme for the processing of rape seed submitted by the Danish Government pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 on 26 November 1982 is hereby approved.

2. Approval of the programme relates only to projects submitted before 1 May 1984.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 20 June 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'SLM - Spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800S' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/324/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 December 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'SLM - Spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800S', ordered in March 1980 and intended to be used for the studies of the structure of proteins and the measurement of the life times of the fluorescent states of excited molecules in proteins and nucleic acids or nucleotides in the subnanosecond region, 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 30 May 1983 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 spectrofluorometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the very high resolution power, 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 'SP-7X' and 'SP-8X' manufactured by Applied Photophysics Ltd, 20 Albemarle Street, UK-London W1X 3HA,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as 'SLM - Spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800S', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 13 December 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

Having regard to Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (3), as last amended by Directive 82/893/EEC, and in particular Article 13a (2) thereof,

Whereas Council Decision 82/838/EEC (4) recognizes certain parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as being either officially swine-fever-free or swine-fever-free;

Whereas outbreaks of classical swine fever have been recorded in some of the parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany referred to in Annexes I and II to Decision 82/838/EEC;

Whereas, by Decision 83/74/EEC (5), the Commission has suspended for a period of 15 days the status of official freedom from swine fever or freedom from swine fever of affected parts of German territory;

Whereas, taking account of the epidemiological evolution of the disease, the Commission, by Decision 83/117/EEC (6), temporarily prolonged this period of suspension for certain regions beyond the 15 days provided for initially;

Whereas, since that time, study of the epidemiological situation leads to the conclusion that the disease has persisted in certain districts and it is necessary to withdraw the status of officially swine-fever-free from these districts;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The status of those parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as areas recognized to be officially swine-fever-free within the meaning of Article 4c (1) (c) of Directive 64/432/EEC is withdrawn for the regions listed in the Annex to this Decision.
