repealing Regulation (EC) No 1180/2008 establishing a system for the communication of information on certain supplies of beef, veal and pigmeat to the territory of the Russian Federation
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 170 and 192, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1180/2008 (2) provides for a system of communication of information between the operators and the competent authorities of the Member States, as well as between the Members States, the Commission, represented by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and the Russian authorities in relation to the exports of certain beef, veal and pigmeat products to the Russian Federation, for which a refund is applied for. The aim of that system is to trace the exports concerned and detect cases where the refund is not due and must be recovered.
(2) As mentioned in recital 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1180/2008 the application of that Regulation will have to be evaluated after a significant period of operation. The Commission has evaluated the application of Regulation (EC) No 1180/2008 and has reached the conclusion that due to repetitive technical problems which could not be solved satisfactorily, the system of communication of information has not reached the level of performance required for being an efficient tool against undue payment of export refund. In addition, the voluntary use of the system by exporters has decreased considerably over the years.
(3) Therefore the system of communication of information established by Regulation (EC) No 1180/2008 should be abolished and Regulation (EC) No 1180/2008 should be repealed.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Repeal
Regulation (EC) No 1180/2008 is repealed.
Entry into force and application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 December 2012.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(4) The Brazilian veterinary authorities immediately put in place measures to avoid the spread of the disease into the Brazilian territory, in particular providing for vaccination of and movement controls on the animals in 16 municipalities along the border area.
(5) In view of the potential risk of disease in this border area, and of the action taken by the competent veterinary authorities of Brazil, importation of de-boned and matured bovine meat into the EU only from the concerned municipality should be suspended on a regional basis. However, consignments produced before 31 October 2002 should still be authorised.
(6) Decision 93/402/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 20 December 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Spectraphonics - Speech Spectrographic Display Unit, model SSD II' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/927/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 23 April 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 'Spectraphonics - Speech Spectrographic Display Unit, model SSD II', ordered on 5 May 1980 and to be used for experimental phonetic research and in particular for the measurement of the physical properties of speech sound, 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 20 October 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 an acoustic measuring device; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the sensibility of the spectrum 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Spectraphonics - Speech Spectrographic Display Unit, model SSD II', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 23 April 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
