COMMISSION DECISION

of 7 April 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'NRG - Dye Laser, model NRG-DL-0,03' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/167/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 18 September 1982, Italy 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 'NRG - Dye Laser, model NRG-DL-0,03' ordered on 16 November 1977 and intended to be used for the study of photochemical processes of organic molecules and natural substances and also as high-pressure source in the 360 mm wavelength band, 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 1 February 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 power of the peak, 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 'NRG - Dye Laser, model NRG-DL-0,03', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 18 September 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

approving a programme for marketing and processing of fruit and vegetables in Belgium pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77

(Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic)

(83/274/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

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 14 May 1982 the Belgian Government submitted the programme for marketing and processing of fruit and vegetables;

Whereas the said programme concerns the creation and modernization of premises for fruit and vegetables and their equipment with refrigeration, storage, sorting and packaging facilities, at the wholesale level in order to create a marketing structure for the wholesale trade allowing the satisfaction of internal and external trade possibilities; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the programme contains the details referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, showing that the objectives laid down in Article 1 of the said Regulation can be achieved in respect of fruit and vegetables production; whereas the scheduled time for implementation of the programme does not exceed the limit laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of that Regulation;

Whereas the question under what conditions the common action initiated by Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 will be continued beyond the date laid down in Article 16 (1) of the said Regulation remains open; whereas it is therefore appropriate to limit approval of the programme to applications referred to in Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

COMMISSION DECISION

of 5 July 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'E for M - Simultrace Recorder, model VR-12, with plug-ins' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/345/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 December 1982, 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 'E for M - Simultrace Recorder, model VR-12, with plug-ins', ordered on 29 June 1979 and intended to be used for recording the variables of the heart's circulating system, 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 22 June 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 recorder; 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 'E for M - Simultrace Recorder, model VR-12, with plug-ins', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 23 December 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 22 July 1983

inviting the Kingdom of Belgium to suspend the putting into effect of labelling measures embodied in draft national legalization on processed meat and meat products

(Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic)

(83/375/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to the procedure provided for in Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, Belgium notified the Commission that a draft arrêté royal on the manufacture and sale of meat products and preparations envisaged the obligation to indicate 'non-edible skin' for sausages with a plastic skin;

Whereas it appears that it is envisaged to require the printing of this indication on the artificial skin unless the product is packed and labelled;

Whereas the application of this measure would considerably hinder intra-Community trade;

Whereas this fact has led the Commission to express a negative opinion, in accordance with Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;

Whereas the most satisfactory solution to the problem raised by the draft arrêté royal is to adopt a Community labelling rule;

Whereas Community provisions on the labelling of meat products for human consumption is now being studied and it is appropriate in consequence to suspend for an appropriate period any national initiative in this field;

Whereas in any event the printing of artificial skins as envisaged by the draft arrêté royal is not appropriate since other less difficult but equally effective measures for the information of the consumer can be laid down;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. Belgium shall not bring into force before 1 July 1985 the proposed arrêté royal on a specific indication of non-edible skins used for meat based foodstuffs.

2. Any national measure laid down by Belgium after 1 July 1985 in the absence of Community provisions on meat-based foodstuffs cannot require the identification of artificial skins by printing thereon.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium.
