COMMISSION DECISION

of 28 January 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'AVM - Radio-Tracking Transmitter' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/62/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 1982, France 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 'AVM - Radio-Tracking Transmitter', ordered on 21 February 1982 and intended to be used for radiogoniometer monitoring of the movement of wild birds, especially during migration, 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 15 December 1982 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 transmitter;

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 'AVM - Radio-Tracking Transmitter', which is the subject of an application by France of 26 August 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION

of 25 April 1983

concerning the introduction of protective measures applicable to tube and pipe fittings of malleable cast iron originating in certain third countries and imported into Italy

(Only the Italian text is authentic)

(83/215/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 17 (4) thereof,

Whereas on 8 February 1983 the Italian Government informed the Commission of the damage which, it claimed, its malleable cast iron tube and pipe fittings (NIMEXE code 73.20-ex 30) industry would suffer as a result of imports from third countries; whereas, to meet this situation, the Italian Government took urgent measures in accordance with Article 17 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 288/82; whereas the Commission was informed of these measures on 16 February 1983;

Whereas, on 23 February 1983, the Commission decided that the imports, into Italy, of tube and pipe fittings of malleable cast iron (NIMEXE code 73.20-ex 30), should remain liberalized and they are not, therefore, subject to any quantitative restriction;

Whereas, on 1 March 1983, the Italian Government referred the Commission's decision to the Council in accordance with the third sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 17 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 288/82; whereas the period within which the Council has to decide on that decision was extended, by Decision 83/125/EEC (2), up to and including 27 April;

Whereas it appears desirable for this period to be extended again until 1 June inclusive,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The period within which the Council must take a decision, following a referral to it by the Italian Government, on the Commission decision concerning a request for the introduction of protective measures applicable to tube and pipe fittings of malleable cast iron originating in certain third countries and imported into Italy is hereby extended up to and including 1 June 1983.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Act of 20 September 1976 concerning the election of the representatives of the Assembly by direct universal suffrage, and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 10 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas by its Decision 78/639/Euratom, ECSC, EEC of 25 July 1978 fixing the period for the first election of representatives of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage (2), the Council fixed the period for this first election from 7 to 10 June 1979;

Whereas it proves to be impossible to hold the second elections during the corresponding period of 1984; whereas another period should therefore be set,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

COMMISSION DECISION

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Lumonics - Multigas Laser, model TEA-203-2' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/271/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 23 November 1982, France 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 'Lumonics - Multigas Laser, model TEA-203-2' ordered on 23 September 1982 and intended to be used in the framework of the research in using the light energy of a laser as a means of utilizing electrical energy with optimum efficiency, 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 21 March 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 laser;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the particularity of the spectrum of the impulse, 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 'Lumonics - Multigas Laser, model TEA-203-2', which is the subject of an application by France of 23 November 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

extending for the United Kingdom, in respect of a variety, the period provided for in Article 15 (1) of Directive 70/457/EEC

(Only the English text is authentic)

(83/297/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Directive 80/1141/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (2), (3) and (7) thereof,

Having regard to the application lodged by the United Kingdom,

Whereas, under Article 15 (1) of the said Directive, seed or propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted during 1979 in at least one of the Member States and which also meet the conditions laid down in the said Directive are, with effect from 31 December 1981, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to variety in the Community;

Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of the said Directive provides that a Member State may be authorized upon application to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;

Whereas the United Kingdom has applied for such authorization for a certain number of varieties of different species, amongst which variety Inca (hybrid ryegrass);

Whereas Commission Decision 82/282/EEC (3) extended the period provided for in the said Article 15 (1) for this variety for the United Kingdom to 31 March 1983;

Whereas, in respect of this variety, the United Kingdom is not yet in a position to justify its application, for reasons beyond its control;

Whereas the time limit in question shall therefore, where the United Kingdom is concerned, be extended for an appropriate period to allow complete examination of the application in respect of this variety (Article 15 (7) of the above Directive);

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 time limit specified in Article 15 (1) of Directive 70/457/EEC is, where the United Kingdom is concerned, extended from 31 March 1983 to 30 September 1983 in respect of the variety Inca (Lolium × hybridum).
