Apparatus with a microprocessor-based device incorporating a modem for gaining access to the Internet, and having a function of interactive information exchange, capable of receiving television signals (“set-top boxes with communication function”) This subheading covers apparatus without a screen, so-called “set-top boxes with communication function”, consisting of the following main components: — a microprocessor, — a video tuner. The presence of an RF connector is an indicator that a video tuner may be present. — a modem. Modems modulate and demodulate outgoing as well as incoming data signals. This enables bidirectional communication for the purposes of gaining access to the Internet. Examples of such modems are: V.34-, V.90-, V.92-, DSL- or cable modems. An indication of the presence of such a modem is an RJ 11 connector. Devices performing a similar function to that of a modem but which do not modulate and demodulate signals are not considered to be modems. Examples of such apparatus are ISDN-, WLAN- or Ethernet devices. An indication of the presence of such a device is an RJ 45 connector. The modem must be built into the set-top box. Set-top boxes which do not have a built-in modem but use an external modem are excluded from this subheading (e.g. a set consisting of a set-top box and an external modem). The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) must be present as firmware in the set-top box. Set-top boxes of this subheading must enable the user of the apparatus to access the Internet. The apparatus must also be able to run Internet applications in an “interactive information exchange” mode such as an e-mail client or a messaging application using UDP or TCP/IP sockets. Set-top boxes which incorporate a device performing a recording or reproducing function (for example, a hard disk or DVD drive) are excluded from this subheading (subheading 8521 90 00).

Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) requires that quantitative limits are determined and quotas allocated to importers (including producers that import controlled substances) for 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009 in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(2) for the import of the substances listed under Groups I to IX of Annex I to this Notice (2). Quotas shall be allocated for: (a) methyl bromide for Quarantine and Pre-Shipment (QPS) uses as defined by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and Article 4(2)(iii) of the Regulation; (b) hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs); (c) essential uses in accordance with the criteria set out in Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and Article 3(1) of the Regulation; and as approved by the Commission. A separate notice regarding Essential Uses has been published; (d) feedstock uses, as controlled substances undergoing a chemical transformation in a process in which it is entirely converted from its original composition and whose emissions are insignificant; (e) process agents, as controlled substances used as chemical processing agents in those applications listed in Annex VI of the Regulation, in existing installations, and where emissions are insignificant; (f) destruction, as controlled substances that are to be destroyed by a technology approved by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol which results in the permanent transformation, or decomposition of all or a significant portion of the substance. The quantitative limit, which importers may place on the market and/or use for their own account within the European Community in 2009, will be calculated: — for methyl bromide for QPS use according to Article 4(2)(iii), — for HCFCs according to Article 4(3)(i).
