(4) The period of application of the derogation provided for in Article 16(2), first subparagraph, of Directive 92/34/EEC, which was extended until 31 December 2001 by Decision 1999/30/EC, should accordingly be further extended.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Propagating Material and Plants of Fruit Genera and Species,
In the first subparagraph of Article 16(2) of Directive 92/34/EEC, the date "31 December 2001" is replaced by "31 December 2004".

COMMISSION  DECISION

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Lumonics - Excimer Laser, model TE-431 T' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(84/34/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 29 June 1983, 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 'Lumonics - Excimer Laser, model TE-431 T' ordered on 30 March 1982 and intended to be used for the study of non-linear optics in solids, the study of excitonic states for very high density excitation and for the study of atmospheric physics, 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 15 December 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in questions is a laser; whereas in objective technical characteristics such as the power combined with the impulses 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 'EMG 100/200 Series' manufactured by Lambda Physik, Hans Boecklerstrasse 12, D-3400 Goettingen and to the apparatus '1250 E 2', '1250 E 20' and '1250 E 50' manufactured by Sopra, 68 rue Pierre Joigneaux, F-92270 Bois-Colombes,
The apparatus described as 'Lumonics - Exciser Laser, model TE-431 T', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 29 June 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COMMISSION DECISION of 27 July 1994 amending Decision 89/50/EEC authorizing methods for grading pig carcases in France (Only the French text is authentic) (94/565/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3513/93 (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,
Whereas the Commission, by Decision 89/50/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 93/248/EEC (4), authorized methods for grading pig carcases in France;
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 lays down that Member States may be authorized to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the same Article where commercial practice or technical  requirements warrant this;
Whereas in France the technical requirements relating to the use of the grading method and, consequently, commercial practice, necessitate the attachment of the flare fat, kidneys, diaphragm, and possibly the tongue at the carcase; whereas this should  be taken into account in adjusting to the weight for standard presentation; whereas Commission Decision 89/50/EEC should be amended accordingly;
Whereas it is appropriate to apply the amendments from 1 July 1994, the date of entering into force of the amendments introduced by Regulation (EC) No 3513/93 to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Article 1a of Decision 89/50/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 1a
Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, the pig carcases can be presented with the flare fat, kidneys, diaphragm and with or without the tongue before being weighed and graded. In order to  establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be decreased by 2,3 % in cases where the tongue is removed and by 2,9 % where the tongue is attached to the carcase.'
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1994.

Whereas the present situation and the outlook on the Community market for seeds listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 that will be sold during the 1992/93 and 1993/94 marketing years do not offer the assurance of a fair return to producers;  whereas part of their costs should therefore be met by the granting of aid;
Whereas Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 provides that the aid shall be fixed, taking into account, on the one hand, the need to ensure a balance between the
