COUNCIL  DECISION
of 21 October 1985
amending Decision 81/956/EEC on the equivalence of seed potatoes produced in third countries
(85/478/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), as last amended by Directive 84/218/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, by Decision 81/956/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 84/99/EEC (4), the Council declared that seed potatoes harvested and officially controlled in Austria, Switzerland and Poland afforded the same assurances as seed potatoes harvested and controlled within the Community;
Whereas the validity of this equivalence expired on 31 January 1984 in the case of Poland and on 30 June 1985 in the case of Austria and Switzerland;
Whereas, however, such equivalence should be retained for a further period, since the conditions on which the Community findings were based at the outset are still fulfilled as regards the standards and procedures applicable to the certification of seed potatoes;
Whereas equivalence may be used in practice, however, only if the seed potatoes also satisfy the conditions which Member States must, or may, lay down pursuant to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (5), as last amended by Directive 85/173/EEC (6);
Whereas it has been established in this connection that the plant health situation in the third countries concerned by Decision 81/956/EEC regarding Corynebacterium sepedonicum and potato spindle tuber viroid must be studied in depth; whereas the study is still under way in respect of Austria, Poland and Switzerland; whereas, meanwhile, the plant health data available do not rule out renewal of equivalence for an adequate period necessary for the achievement of the abovementioned study with regard to Austria and Switzerland; whereas, pending the outcome of this work, the validity of that declaration of equivalence should be extended for such period in the case of both these countries; whereas, however, it has appeared that it would be pointless at this stage to renew equivalence with regard to Poland;
Whereas, furthermore, this Decision does not prevent Community findings from being revoked or the period of their validity from not being extended if it becomes apparent that the conditions on which such findings are based are not, or are no longer, fulfilled,
In Article 2 of Decision 81/956/EEC, 'to 30 June 1985, in the case of Austria and Switzerland, and to 31 January 1984, in the case of Poland' is hereby replaced by 'to 30 June 1986, in the case of Austria and Switzerland'.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 6 July 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Akashi combined light-electron microscope, model LEM 2000" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/580/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 19 December 1980, the United Kingdom 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 "Akashi-combined light-electron microscope, model LEM 2000", to be used for research into multiple sclerosis, particularly with the brain antigens in section of multiple sclerosis material, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is 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 28 April 1981 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 light-electron microscope;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the reproducibility of the measurements 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 "EM 400 T" manufactured by Philips Nederland BV, NL-Boschdijk 525, Eindhoven,
The apparatus described as "Akashi combined lightelectron microscope, model LEM 2000" which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 19 December 1980 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
