THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

Whereas the circumstances which led the Commission to adopt Decision 83/133/EEC persist, namely: the need to ensure the effectiveness of the commercial policy measures which the Italian Republic has to implement in respect of imports of bananas originating in certain third countries other than ACP States in order to fulfill the requirements of Protocol 4 to the Lomé Convention;

COMMISSION DECISION

of 19 January 1984

amending Decision 83/296/EEC authorizing Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of forestry reproductive material not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/404/EEC

(84/50/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material (1), as last amended by Directive 79/410/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (1) thereof,

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

Whereas production of reproductive material of forestry species is at present insufficient in all Member States so that their requirements for reproductive material conforming to the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC cannot be met;

Whereas non-member countries are not in a position to supply sufficient reproductive material of the relevant species which can afford the same guarantees as Community reproductive material and which conforms to the provisions of the abovementioned Directive;

Whereas by Decision 83/296/EEC (3), the Commission authorized the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of forest reproductive material which satisfies less stringent requirements;

Whereas it has become apparent that what is indicated in respect of the species 'Quercus borealis Michx' in the case of Denmark should in fact apply to the species 'Quercus sessiliflora Sal.';

Whereas, in order to be able to cover completely the requirements of the two abovementioned Member States, it is appropriate to increase the authorized quantities for the species 'Quercus pendunculata Ehrh.' and 'Quercus sessiliflora Sal.' respectively;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Annex to Decision 83/296/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

- in the column 'Quercus pendunculata Ehrh.', '15 000 kg' in line 'D' is replaced by '25 000 kg',

- the entries in the column 'Quercus borealis Michx' for line 'DK' are deleted,

- in the column 'Quercus sessiliflora Sal.', '22 000 kg' and 'N (zone F-O)' are inserted in line 'DK'.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

of 5 March 1984

relating to the conclusion of the Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters amending the Temporary Arrangement for a concerted discipline between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria concerning reciprocal trade in cheese

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the Temporary Arrangement for a concerted discipline between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria concerning reciprocal trade in cheese,

Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,

Whereas it was considered desirable to amend some of the provisions of the abovementioned Arrangement in order to bring it more closely into line with actual market requirements;

Whereas the Commission initiated consultations with Austria on this subject and an agreement, satisfactory to that country, was reached; whereas, therefore, that Agreement should be approved,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters amending the Temporary Arrangement for a concerted discipline between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria concerning reciprocal trade in cheese is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2969/83 of 19 October 1983 establishing a special emergency measure to assist stock farming in Italy (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

amending for the second time Decision 84/36/EEC concerning certain protective measures against foot-and-mouth disease in the Netherlands

(84/123/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), as last amended by Directive 83/646/EEC (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas following the application of measures by the Netherlands authorities the disease has not recurred in one of the parts of the territory and must therefore be considered as eliminated;

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

Decision 84/36/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

COMMISSION DECISION

of 8 March 1984

establishing that the apparatus described as 'PAR - Vibrating Magnetometer System, model 155, with accessories' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(84/163/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 26 August 1983, 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 'PAR - Vibrating Magnetometer System, model 155, with accessories', ordered on 19 May 1980 and intended to be used for measuring magnetic properties between 3K and crystallizing temperature, 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 17 February 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 magnetometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the uniformity of the magnetic field 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as 'PAR - Vibrating Magnetometer System, model 155, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 26 August 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
