Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.

of 29 May 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 6/2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1804/98 as regards the opening of a tariff quota for imports of residues from the manufacture of starch from maize falling within CN codes 2303 10 19 and 2309 90 20 and originating in the United States of America
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1804/98 of 14 August 1998 establishing an autonomous duty applicable for residues from the manufacture of starch from maize falling within CN codes 2303 10 19 and 2309 90 20 and introducing a tariff quota on imports of residues from the manufacture of starch from maize (corn gluten feed) falling within CN codes 2303 10 19 and 2309 90 20 originating in the United States of America(1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 6/2001(2) opened a tariff quota for residues from the manufacture of starch from maize originating in the United States of America from the fifth day following the date of the decision of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body acknowledging that the safeguard measure applied by the United States in the form of a quantitative restriction on imports of wheat gluten originating, inter alia, in the Community was incompatible with the WTO Agreements. That decision was taken on 19 January 2001. Therefore, the quota was opened on 24 January 2001.
(2) In the light of the knowledge of the definitive date of the opening of the quota, the quota amount should be modified pro rata to the length of time during which it will be open, namely 128 days from 24 January 2001 to 31 May 2001. Therefore, the amount of the quota should be modified to 128/365ths of the quantity of the 2730000 tonnes foreseen in Council Regulation (EC) No 1804/98 for a full quota year, which is 957370 tonnes.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

COUNCIL  DECISION
of 11 February 1985
concerning the conclusion of the Agreement extending the Temporary Arrangement on concerted disciplines between the European Economic Community and Spain on imports of cheese into Spain
(85/125/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Spain, invoking Article XIX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), has taken safeguard measures against imports of cheese of which the European Economic Community is the principal supplier;
Whereas the Commission has entered into negotiations with Spain under Article XIX of the GATT; whereas it has reached an agreement with that country concerning imports of Community cheese into Spain in 1985; whereas that agreement is considered satisfactory,
The Agreement between the European Economic Community and Spain, in the form of agreed minutes, is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council is hereby authorized to designate the person empowered to sign the Agreement in order to bind the Community.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 670/2002
of 18 April 2002
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 April 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 13 July 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Searle - Automatic Planchet Counter, model 1152' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/509/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 amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (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 6 January 1982, Belgium 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 'Searle - Automatic Planchet Counter, model 1152', ordered on 25 February 1980 and in particularly to be used for the study of nitrogen redistribution in roots during the development of winter wheat and for the location of phosphorous transfers in the digestive tract of the sheep, 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 14 May 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 liquid scintillation counter; 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,
The apparatus described as 'Searle - Automatic Planchet Counter, model 1152', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 6 January 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas the revised compensatory allowance laid down in the said Ministerial Decree of 20 April 1977 is consistent with the objectives and requirement of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the limits for 1976, as laid down in Article 7 of the version of the Directive which was applicable at the time, may in certain cases have been exceeded as a result of the application of the Ministerial Decree of 20 April 1977; whereas this Decision cannot cover any such cases;

Whereas the finding set out in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
The provisions for the implementation of Title II of Directive 75/268/EEC which were applied by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in respect of 1976 have, in the light of the Ministerial Decree of 20 April 1977, continued to satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to common measures as referred to in Article 13 of Directive 75/268/EEC and Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC.
This Decision is addressed to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
