THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2681/74 of 21 October 1974 on Community financing of expenditure incurred in respect of the supply of agricultural products as food aid (1),

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The accounts of the departments and agencies empowered by the United Kingdom to pay expenditure incurred in the 1975 financial year on milk products supplied as food aid shall be cleared as indicated in the Annex hereto.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 29 November 1983

approving an amendment to the programme for the structural improvement of the fruit juice market in the land of Lower Saxony pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77

(Only the German text is authentic)

(83/607/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 27 July 1983 the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany forwarded an amendment to the programme for the structural improvement of the fruit juice market in the land of Lower Saxony, which has been approved by the Commission Decision of 29 January 1982 (3);

Whereas the said amendment relates to the up-dating of this programme by its prolongation until 1984 and is consistent with the objectives and provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the procedure for appointing experts forms part of the general rules for the application of Article 8 (3) of Directive 64/433/EEC;

Whereas the veterinary experts called upon to act may be either Commission veterinary experts or veterinary experts proposed by the Member States;

Whereas it is essential, in the case of veterinary experts proposed by the Member States, that a list of such experts be drawn up;

COUNCIL DECISION

of 10 January 1984

concerning certain protective measures against classical swine fever as regards fresh pigmeat

(84/10/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (1), as last amended by Directive 83/646/EEC (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas there has been an outbreak of classical swine fever in certain parts of the Community territory; whereas, despite the measures applied, the disease is persisting and spreading in some of those areas;

Whereas in the Federal Republic of Germany classical swine fever is widespread in certain zones;

Whereas, as a result, trade in fresh pigmeat originating in some of those areas constitutes a risk of spreading the disease; whereas some Member States have adopted protective measures in this respect;

Whereas all other Member States should therefore adopt protective measures and apply them for an appropriate period;

Whereas, in the absence of any concurring opinion from the Standing Veterinary Committee, the Commission was unable to adopt the measures it had envisaged on this matter under the procedure provided for in Article 8 of Directive 72/461/EEC,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. Member States shall prohibit the introduction into their territory of fresh pigmeat obtained from pigs coming from the zones of the Member States defined in the Annex.

2. The measures provided for in paragraph 1 shall be lifted for fresh pigmeat obtained from pigs coming from one of the regions mentioned in the Annex and slaughtered not less than 30 days after the end of the last outbreak of classical swine fever in the region concerned.

Article 2

The health certificate provided for in Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (3) and accompanying pigmeat dispatched from the Member State specified in the Annex must bear the following entry: 'Meat conforming to Decision 84/10/EEC'.

Article 3

The Commission will follow developments in the situation and will, if necessary, take appropriate measures.

Article 4

The Member States shall amend the measures they apply to trade so that they comply with this Decision as from 12 January 1984. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

Article 5

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 2 February 1984

amending Decision 83/96/EEC authorizing Ireland and the United Kingdom temporarily to take additional measures to protect themselves against the introduction of Dendroctonus micans

(Only the English text is authentic)

(84/69/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (1), as last amended by Directive 81/7/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (2) thereof,

Whereas, under the Community plant health regime, Ireland and the United Kingdom have been authorized by Commission Decision 83/96/EEC (3) to require from other Member States certain safeguards additional to those afforded under the general Community provisions in order to prevent the introduction of Dendroctonus micans through plants of conifers, following recent developments in the incidence and spread of this organism in the Community;

Whereas this authorization was granted, pending strengthening of the Community safeguards by means of an amendment to Directive 77/93/EEC, for a limited period expiring on 31 January 1984;

Whereas the circumstances which justified this authorization have not changed; whereas the Commission proposed an appropriate amendment to the abovementioned Directive, which the Council has not yet adopted;

Whereas therefore the authorization should be extended for a further period;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In Article 1 (1) of Decision 83/96/EEC, '31 January 1984' is hereby replaced by '31 January 1985'.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to Ireland and to the United Kingdom.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 21 December 1983

amending Decision 78/975/ECSC of the Commission of 16 November 1978 on the authorization of special Deutsche Bundesbahn tariffs in favour of coal and steel producers in the Saar

(Only the German text is authentic)

(84/89/ECSC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the fourth paragraph of Article 70 thereof,

Whereas, in Decision 78/975/ECSC of 16 November 1978 (1), the Commission, after a thorough re-examination of the situation as a whole in the coal and steel industries in the Saar and taking into account in particular the programme under way for the restructuring and adjustment of these industries, the completion of which was scheduled for 1983, authorized until 31 December 1983 the application of special Deutsche Bundesbahn tariff Nos 188, 196, 197, 263, 270, 273 and of tariff No 9133 in favour of coal and steel producers in the Saar, which had first been permitted in 1966 by the High Authority of the ECSC;

Whereas, in Decision 82/445/ECSC of 18 May 1982 (2), the Commission decided to extend by one year the duration of these tariffs, namely until 31 December 1984, with a reduction of the established tariffs on the tariffs normally applicable by at least 50 % on 1 January 1984;

Whereas, by letter of 22 September 1983, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany requested that application of these tariffs be further extended until 31 December 1988;

Whereas, in view of the economic situation of the ECSC industries in the Saar and the restructuring measures that are in progress, it seems appropriate not to enforce from 1 January 1984 the reduction of 50 % in the reduction granted under these tariffs that had been fixed in the aforementioned Decision 82/445/ECSC; whereas, however, the date for abolishing these tariffs should remain 31 December 1984,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Commission Decision 78/975/ECSC of 16 November 1978, as amended by Decision 82/445/ECSC of 18 May 1982, is hereby amended as follows:

In Article 3:

- the provisions of point 1 are deleted,

- figure 2 is deleted.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 28 February 1984

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Three Rivers - Computer System, model PERQ' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(84/125/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 7 September 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 'Three Rivers - Computer System, model PERQ', ordered on 29 October 1981 and intended to be used for office communication and for studies at the communication workstation, 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 26 January 1984 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 computer;

Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, in particular, the fact that it concerns a single computer system with graphic, acoustic and communicative possibilities cannot confer upon it this character; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities, in particular secretarial word processing; 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 'Three Rivers - Computer System, model PERQ', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 7 September 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
