Whereas Article 3 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 551/85 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3817/85 (4), states that the import licence referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article is to be issued on the third working day following that on which the application was submitted; whereas a period of three working days has turned out to be too short for proper management of the quota; whereas it should be increased to seven working days;
Whereas Article 20 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 ceased to be applicable after 30 June 1985; whereas it is no longer necessary, therefore, for the Member States to notify quantities imported free of levy into the French overseas departments;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Regulation (EEC) No 551/85 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The first subparagraph of Article 3 (2) is replaced by the following:
'Import licences as referred to in paragraph 1 shall be issued on the seventh working day following that on which the application was submitted, provided that in the meantime advance fixing of the levy has not been suspended and the maximum amount that may be imported at a reduced levy has not been reached.'

'(c) the quantities of each type of rice for which the licences issued have not been used;

extending the emergency measures for the protection and recovery of the anchovy stock in ICES sub-area VIII
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy (1) and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Based on scientific information from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) indicating that the abundance of anchovy in the Bay of Biscay was exceptionally low, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1037/2005 of 1 July 2005 establishing emergency measures for the protection and recovery of the anchovy stock in ICES sub-area VIII (2) was adopted. That Regulation effects a closure of the fishery for three months from 3 July 2005.
(2) New advice from the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) confirms that the stock is at a dangerously low level, that the decision to close the fishery was correct, and that the fishery should remain closed until fishery independent data becomes available to provide a reliable estimate of the spawning stock size.
(3) The existing closure should therefore be extended.
(4) As it is impossible to distinguish, for control purposes, between anchovy caught in ICES sub-area VIII and that caught in other areas, it is necessary to prohibit retention on board, transhipment and landing of anchovy within ICES sub-area VIII, wherever it was caught.
(5) The Commission will, within the closure period, make an assessment of scientific and technical criteria to be applied when deciding on a reopening of the fishery.
(6) It is therefore appropriate for the Commission to extend and adapt, the emergency measures to protect the anchovy stock,
Fishing for anchovy in ICES sub-area VIII shall be prohibited. In ICES sub-area VIII it shall also be prohibited to retain on board, to tranship or land anchovy during the period of application of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 3 October 2005 until 31 December 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all 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 28 August 1981, 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 'Perkin-Elmer - atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 560', to be used for the analysis of samples with a complex matrix, 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 4 February 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 spectrophotometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the answer in the whole of the spectral field of the analysis 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 'SP 1900/1950' manufactured by Pye Unicam Ltd, York Street, UK-Cambridge,
The apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 560', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 28 August 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
