COMMISSION DECISION of 16 June 1980 authorizing the Irish Government to grant certain exemptions in respect of national road transport operations from Community social legislation relating to road transport (Only the English text is authentic) (80/636/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 of 25 March 1969 on the harmonization of certain social legislation relating to road transport (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2829/77 (2), and in particular Article 14a (3) (a) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70 of 20 July 1970 on the introduction of recording equipment in road transport (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2828/77 (4), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof,

Having regard to the application lodged by the Irish Government on 31 July 1979 requesting the Commission to authorize exemptions from Regulations (EEC) No 543/69 and (EEC) No 1463/70 for national transport operations using specialized vehicles,

Whereas the derogations sought would exempt specialized vehicles covered by Article 14a (3) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 from the provisions of that Regulation and from the obligation to use recording equipment (tachographs) ; whereas, because of their special features, the types of traffic in question are of minimal economic importance ; whereas, if the Community legislation in question is not applied to this traffic, there is no danger, particularly in view of the small number of vehicles involved, that competition on the transport market, road safety or worker's welfare would be impaired;

Whereas Article 14a (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 provides that Member States shall take appropriate measures at the same time to keep an effective check on such transport so as to ensure that standards of social protection and road safety are not impaired,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Ireland is hereby authorized: 1. to grant exemptions from the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 for national transport operations with and uses of specialized vehicles in connection with: - the supplying of local markets,

- door-to-door sales,

- mobile banking, exchange and savings transactions,

- the lending of books, records or cassettes, and mobile exhibitions,

- for purposes of worship and cultural events;

2. to grant exemption, in respect of the vehicles used for the above transport operations, from the obligation to use a tachograph laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70.

Article 2

Ireland shall inform the Commission of the measures taken in implementing this Decision.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to Ireland.

Whereas following a Community veterinary mission it appears that the animal health situation in New Zealand is excellent, stable and completely controlled by well-structured and organized veterinary services, particularly as regards diseases transmissible through meat;

Whereas, in addition, by letter of 4 June 1980 the responsible veterinary authorities of New Zealand have confirmed that New Zealand has for at least 12 months been free from rinderpest, foot and mouth disease, African swine fever, classical swine fever, contagious porcine paralysis (Teschen disease) and swine vesicular disease and that no vaccinations have been carried out against those diseases during that time;

Whereas the responsible veterinary authorities of New Zealand have undertaken to notify the Commission of the European Communities and the Member States, by telex or telegram, within 24 hours at the latest, of the confirmation of the occurrence of any of the abovementioned diseases or the adoption of vaccination against any of them;

Whereas animal health conditions and veterinary certification must be adopted according to the animal health situation of the non-member country concerned;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

COMMISSION DECISION of 1 August 1980 finding that the apparatus described as "Lexington-Lex-02-Con Analyser with starter kit" is not a scientific apparatus (80/831/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 13 March 1980, the British Government 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 "Lexington-Lex-02-Con Analyser with starter kit" to be used to facilitate the research into techniques of artificial ventilation of patients and, in particular, to measure the oxygen content of blood, the arterial/venous oxygen difference of blood, the oxygen consumption and the oxygen saturation of blood, 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 24 June 1980 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;

Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an analyser;

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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as "Lexington-Lex-02-Con Analyser with starter kit" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
