COMMISSION DECISION

of 7 June 1983

repealing Decision 81/628/EEC on the duty-free importation of goods intended to be distributed or made available free of charge to victims of the earthquake which occurred in June 1981 in Sicily

(Only the Italian text is authentic)

(83/299/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1410/74 of 4 June 1974 on the tariff treatment applicable to goods imported for free circulation in the event of disasters occurring in the territory of one or more Member States (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,

Whereas, by Decision 81/628/EEC (2), the Commission authorized the Government of the Italian Republic to import duty-free goods intended to be distributed or made available free of charge to victims of the earthquake which occurred in June 1981 in Sicily;

Whereas it is apparent from the communications sent to the Commission by the Government of the Italian Republic pursuant to Article 3 of Decision 81/628/EEC that, since October 1981, that Government has no longer received any requests for the duty-free import of goods intended for victims of the earthquake; whereas, in these circumstances and having consulted all the Member States, it seems appropriate to repeal the said Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Decision 81/628/EEC is hereby repealed.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 26 July 1983

authorizing the Kingdom of Denmark to permit temporarily the marketing of turnip rape seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 69/208/EEC

(83/378/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of oil and fibre plants seed (1), as last amended by Directive 83/116/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,

Having regard to the request submitted by the Kingdom of Denmark,

Whereas in Denmark the production of turnip rape seed satisfying the requirements of Directive 69/208/EEC has been insufficient in 1982 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 Kingdom of Denmark should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 August 1983, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species of the category 'certified seed' of varieties included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species nor in the Member States' national catalogues of varieties;

Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply Denmark 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 Denmark;

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 Kingdom of Denmark is hereby authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 August 1983, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 175 tonnes of turnip rape seed (Brassica rapa L. partim) of the category 'certified seed' of varieties Emma and Torkel.

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

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 175 tonnes of turnip rape seed provided that it is intended exclusively for Denmark. The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for Denmark'.

Article 3

Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 October 1983 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 7 July 1983

on the date of unloading in Community territory of fresh meat of bovine, ovine and domestic soliped animals from establishments in the Argentine Republic authorized to appear until 30 June 1983 on the list of establishments in the Argentine Republic approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community

(83/357/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1), 16 and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,

Whereas a routine inspection, made pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC, led to an amendment to the list of establishments approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community drawn up by Council Decision 82/737/EEC (3);

Whereas Commission Decision 83/12/EEC (4), adopted on the basis of this last inspection, limited, for reasons of hygiene, the approval of certain establishments to 30 June 1983;

Whereas 30 June 1983 is the final date for the production of fresh meat intended for export to the Community;

Whereas it is necessary, for these same reasons of hygiene and public health, to check if this stipulation has been fully observed;

Whereas the best possible means of control is to fix an unloading date in Community territory for the fresh meat from these establishments and to require a special reference in the public health certificate;

Whereas it is possible to provide for a reasonable interval between the time of dispatch and the time of unloading of the fresh meat in Community territory; whereas this interval can be fixed for the Argentine at six weeks;

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

1. Fresh meat from those establishments authorized to appear until 30 June 1983 on the list of establishments in the Argentine Republic approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community drawn up by Decision 83/12/EEC may be unloaded in Community territory until 15 August 1983.

2. The health certificate accompanying the fresh meat sent from these establishments as from 1 July 1983 must bear the reference 'fresh meat obtained before 1 July 1983'.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 1 September 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Plessey-Viz - Radiosonde, model 1393' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/455/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 21 February 1983, 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 'Plessey-Viz - Radiosonde, model 1393', ordered on 20 January 1982 and intended to be used for the ascertainment of the altitude-related pressure, temperature and humidity profiles for the purpose of determining atmospheric transport phenomena, 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 6 July 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 radiosonde; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the emission frequency 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;
