COMMISSION  DECISION
of 7 October 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Varian - Gas Chromatograph, model 3740, with accessories' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/510/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 5 April 1983, 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 'Varian - Gas Chromatograph, model 3740, with accessories', ordered on 20 November 1981 and intended to be used for the analysis of odour components and in particular for the research to maintain or improve foodstuffs quality and to combat the fetid odours produced by enterprises, 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 23 September 1983 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 chromatograph;
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 'Varian - Gas Chromatograph, model 3740, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 5 April 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 391/97 (2) allocates, for 1997, certain catch quotas to Norway in Community waters;

COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2884/90
of 5 October 1990
on determining the origin of certain goods produced from eggs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common definition of the concept of the origin of goods (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1769/89 (2), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Whereas the table in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 641/69 of 3 April 1969 on determining the origin of certain goods produced from eggs (3) does not cover all the possibilities implicit in the recitals to that Regulation concerning goods which, through drying processes, would be able to obtain the origin of the country where those processes take place;
Whereas with the aim of maintaining consistency between the recitals to Regulation (EEC) No 641/69 and the table therein, it is necessary to amend that table by including egg whites, not dried, as imported goods which, through drying processes, can be considered as originating products;
Whereas the said table presently uses the Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature, which is itself based on the Customs Cooperation Council Nomenclature; whereas this has been replaced by the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System which is applied in the Community by means of the Combined Nomenclature;
Whereas the abovementioned amendments and adaptations constitute simple technical modifications but affect nevertheless the scope of the rules which had been previously laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 641/69 as regards drying of egg whites; whereas, for reasons of clarity, is is preferable to replace Regulation (EEC) No 641/69 entirely;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Origin,
The goods described in column 2 of the annexed table which have been produced in one country from goods imported from another country and shown in column 3 of that table, resulting from the processes listed in that same column 3, shall be deemed to originate in the country where these processes took place.
The expression 'headings' used in this Regulation means the headings (four-digit codes) used in the nomenclature which makes up the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System.
Regulation (EEC) No 641/69 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2), and in particular of the Article 36,
Whereas:
(1) The representative prices and additional duties applicable to imports of white sugar, raw sugar and certain syrups for the 2007/08 marketing year are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1109/2007 (3).

COUNCIL DECISION of 19 July 1988 on the granting, by certain Member States, of aid for the short-term private storage of table wine and must (88/415/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES.
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 93(2) thereof,
Having regard to the requests submitted by the French Republic and the Italian Republic,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 76 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2253/88(2), Articles 92, 93 and 94 of the Treaty were made applicable to  the production of, and trade in, wine and must;
Whereas, by Decision 87/375/EEC(3), the Council decided that national aid for the short-term private storage of table wines and must granted by certain Member States was to be regarded as compatible with the common market for the 1987/88 wine marketing  year;
Whereas, having regard to the heavy surpluses on the market in table wines and must, this national aid contributes, at the start of the wine marketing year, to the same objectives of rationalizing the said market as the measures to stabilize the market  applied at Community level;
Whereas, in order to avoid too abrupt a transfer to an arrangement which excludes all national aid for short-term private storage, it is essential to provide for the payment of this aid to continue in certain Member States, while limiting the period during which it may be granted;
Whereas exceptional circumstances thus continue to prevail, giving grounds for regarding the said aid as compatible with the common market for the 1988/89 wine marketing year until 15 December 1988,
National aid for the short-term private storage of table wine and must granted in France and Italy shall be deemed compatible with the common market for the 1988/89 wine marketing year until 15 December 1988.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic and the Italian Republic.
