Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 18,551/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 October 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, by letter dated 27 June 1977, the Irish Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Remco Dynaflect System" should be considered to be scientific apparatus, and where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No. 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all of the Member States met on 24 October 1977 within the Committee on Duty Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination shows that the apparatus in question consists of an electromechanical system designed to operate behind any vehicle which has a trailer hitch, to be used for measuring the dynamic deflection of a surface or structure caused by an oscillatory load thereon ; whereas the system is a practical tool for use in particular in all phases of construction or maintenance of roadways, airport runways and other structures that are subjected to loads ; whereas this apparatus does not possess in itself any special element rendering it specifically for use for scientific purposes ; whereas, on the contrary it is evident that the apparatus can be employed generally for commercial or industrial use ; whereas, therefore, it cannot be considered as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Remco Dynaflect System" is not hereby considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

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 October 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'SPEX - scanning Czerny-Turner spectrometer, model 1269', ordered 10 March 1980 and to be used in trace analysis and in particular for the spectral analysis of the light from the plasma beam, 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 19 April 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 spectrometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the very high resolution power, 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, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'JY 38VHR' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91163 Longjumeau,
The apparatus described as 'SPEX - scanning Czerny-Turner spectrometer, model 1269', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 23 October 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE POLITICAL AND SECURITY COMMITTEE
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 38 thereof,
Having regard to Council Joint Action 2008/851/CFSP of 10 November 2008 on a European Union military operation to contribute to the deterrence, prevention and repression of acts of piracy and armed robbery off the Somali coast (1) (Atalanta), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 321/2007
of 23 March 2007
amending Regulation (EEC) No 396/92 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In point 4 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) 396/92 (2) certain vehicles with a reinforced hydraulically-tippable flatbed have been classified within the Combined Nomenclature under CN Code 8704 31 91. According to the same point, the versatility and intricate construction of the tippable flatbed prevent this article from being considered as a dumper covered by CN Code 8704 10.
(2) In its judgment in case C-396/02 (3) the Court of Justice of the European Communities ruled that the fact that a flatbed vehicle is equipped with an intricate, versatile and precise tipping function does not exclude its classification as a dumper within the meaning of subheading 8704 10 of the Combined Nomenclature.
(3) Since the classification measure laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 396/92 is not in accordance with the said judgment of the Court, which found the point 4 to be incorrect, this Regulation should be amended insofar as it classifies hydraulically-tippable vehicles under CN code 8704 31. Therefore it is appropriate to delete the point 4 and revoke it as from 10 March 1992.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Point 4 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) 396/92 is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 10 March 1992.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
