COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2248/94 of 16 September 1994 introducing retrospective Community surveillance of imports of certain steel cables originating in non-member countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 518/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 (1), and in particular Article 9 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/83 (2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1921/94  (3), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Consultations having taken place within the Committees set up under the said Regulations,
Whereas information provided by Denmark shows that imports into the Community of stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands, slings and the like, of iron or steel, not electrically insulated, falling within CN codes 7312 10 91, 7312 10 95 and 7312 10  99 originating in non-member countries have been increasing since 1991 at conditions which are likely to threaten Community producers of these products; whereas the figures available for 1993 appear to confirm this upward trend; whereas the prices of  these imports substantially undercut the cost price of Community producers;
Whereas the position of Community producers of similar or directly competing products has been deteriorating since 1991, as the following economic indicators attest:
- production, which stood at 215 395 tonnes in 1991, fell to 193 846 tonnes in 1992, 173 715 tonnes in 1993 and, according to the latest estimates, is expected to drop to 159 900 tonnes in 1994,
- utilization of the Community industry's production capacity has dropped by about 30 % in the period 1991 to 1994,
- the number of those employed directly in the industry declined by 28 % in the period 1990 to 1993, falling by 9 % in the period 1992 to 1993 alone, dropping from 4 662 to 4 235;
Whereas these circumstances call for measures to obtain as quickly as possible accurate and up-to-date information on the trend in imports into the Community of the products in question and, therefore, for the introduction of retrospective Community  surveillance of such imports,
Imports into the Community of stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands, slings and the like, of iron or steel, not electrically insulated, falling within CN codes 7312 10 91, 7312 10 95 and 7312 10 99 shall be subject to retrospective  Community surveillance from 1 October 1994.
For each month Member States shall, by the 10th day of the second month following the month in question, notify the Commission of the results of surveillance, stating the quantity and the cif value of the imports, broken down by CN code and  country of origin.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1202/86
of 23 April 1986
on the classification of goods falling within subheading 84.52 B of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2055/84 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, it is desirable to adopt provisons concerning the classification of a typewriter incorporating a calculating device capable of performing the four basic arithmetical operations and equipped with a memory to store texts as well as an interface enabling it to be connected with an automatic data-processing machine;
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (3), as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1069/86 (4) classifies within heading 84.51, inter alia, typewriters, other than typewriters incorporating calculating mechanisms; within heading 84.52, inter alia, accounting machines, cash registers, postage-franking machines, ticket-issuing machines and similar machines, incorporating a calculating device; within heading 84.53, inter alia, automatic data-processing machines and units thereof; and, within heading 84.54, other office machines;
Whereas, because this machine incorporates a calculating mechanism, it is excluded from heading 84.51;
Whereas, although this machine is equipped with an interface enabling it to be connected with an automatic data-processing machine, it cannot be considered as a unit within the meaning of Note 3 (B) to Chapter 84 because it can function independently, and therefore precludes classification within heading 84.53;
Whereas heading 84.52 includes typewriters which incorporate a calculating device; as the machine in question, even though it has an interface, has that fundamental characteristic, there is no reason to consider heading 84.54;
Whereas the machine in question should therefore be classified within heading 84.52; within this heading, subheading 84.52 B;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
Typewriters incorporating a calculating device capable of performing the four basic arithmetical operations and equipped with a memory to store texts as well as an interface enabling it to be connecetd with an automatic data-processing machine, shall fall within subheading:
84.52 Calculating machines, accounting machines; cash registers; postage-franking machines; ticket-issuing machines and similar machines, incorporating a calculating device:
B. Other
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 21st 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.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 25 July 1983

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 14 January 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'SLM - Spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800S', ordered on 28 May 1980 and intended to be used for the study of the interactions between various substrate molecules and centractile proteins and membrane proteins and in particular for the analysis of the dynamics of these processes, 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 5 July 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 fluorometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision 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 'SP-7X' and 'SP-8X' manufactured by Applied Photophysics Ltd, 20 Albemarle Street, UK-London W1X 3HA,
The apparatus described as 'SLM - Spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800S' which is subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 14 January 1983 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
