establishing that the apparatus described as 'TSI - Electrostatic Classifier, model 3071, with Aerosol Neutralizer, model 3077' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/523/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 December 1981, 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 'TSI - Electrostatic Classifier, model 3071, with Aerosol Neutralizer, model 3077', ordered on 17 March 1981 and to be used for determining the size distribution of the aerosol in the range of 0;01 to 1 m and also for generating the monodisperse aerosols and for the calibration of aerosol measuring apparatus, 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 7 June 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 analyzer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the measuring field of the particles, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind is 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 for 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 'TSI - Electrostatic Classifier, model 3071, with Aerosol Neutralizer, model 3077', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 23 December 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE of 23 June 1982 laying down the categories of ingredients which may be used for the purposes of labelling compound feedingstuffs for pet animals (82/475/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/373/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the marketing of compound feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 80/695/EEC (2), and in particular Article 10 (b) thereof,
Whereas the abovementioned Directive lays down that Member States may require or allow the ingredients used in the manufacture of compound feedingstuffs to be declared ; whereas, pending the adoption of Community provisions, Member States may allow the declaration of ingredients to be replaced by the declaration of categories comprising several ingredients;
Whereas some Member States' national provisions permit the grouping of ingredients in different categories ; whereas identical provisions concerning labelling should therefore be laid down so as to facilitate trade between Member States;
Whereas these rules should only apply to compound feedingstuffs for pet animals;
Whereas rules relating to the labelling of compound feedingstuffs must primarily ensure adequate information for users of the products;
Whereas a category may be indicated only where the ingredient or ingredients used are covered by the definition of the category in question;
Whereas, by analogy with the provisions laid down for the declaration of ingredients, the list of categories should be given, depending on the provisions laid down by the Member States, either by indicating the amount of each category present or in descending order of their proportion by weight in the compound feedingstuff;
Whereas, however, it is not possible to establish categories covering all the ingredients of compound feedingstuffs ; whereas, therefore, the manufacturer must indicate in addition any ingredients not belonging to any of the categories listed in the Annex;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs,
Where, pursuant to Article 5 (7) of Directive 79/373/EEC, the national provisions of Member States lay down that the indication of ingredients may be replaced by the indication of categories comprising several ingredients, only the categories listed in the Annex hereto may be indicated on the packaging, container or label of compound feedingstuffs for pet animals.
The Member States shall bring into force not later than 1 January 1985 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the provisions of this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3136/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 134/84 (4), provides that the tendering procedure shall apply only to applications for import licences for quantities of more than 5 250 kilograms of the product concerned by the said applications; whereas for quantities of not more than 5 000 kilograms the levy to be applied is the minimum one in force on the day of importation for each of the categories of olive oil concerned; whereas experience has shown that these figures have been set at a level exceeding that as from which there is a danger of this procedure being used to evade the normal system of fixing the import levy by tendering procedure; whereas the provision in question should therefore be adjusted to reduce the maximum amount for which the simplified procedure is used;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Regulation (EEC) No 3136/78 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 6 (1) '5 250 kilograms' is replaced by '10 500 kilograms'.

Whereas:
(1) Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC provides that provisional authorisation of a new additive for use in feedingstuffs or a new use of an additive already authorised may be given if the conditions of Article 3a(b) to (e) of that Directive are satisfied, and if it is reasonable to assume, in view of the available results, that when used in animal nutrition it has one of the effects referred to in Article 2(a) of that Directive. Such provisional authorisation may be given for a period up to four years in the case of additives referred to in Part II of Annex C to that Directive.
(2) New data were submitted by the producing company to extend the authorisation of an enzyme preparation described in the Annex to this Regulation and which is listed under No 24 in the Annexes to Directive 70/524/EEC to a new animal category. The assessment of the dossier submitted shows that this extension of use may be provisionally authorised.
(3) The assessment of the dossier shows that certain procedures may be required to protect workers from exposure to the additive listed in the Annex. Such protection should however be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work(3).
