COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1238/2004
of 5 July 2004
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 708/98 on the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies and fixing the corrective amounts and the price increases and reductions to be applied as regards the time limit for delivery into intervention for the 2003/04 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The conditions governing the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 708/98 (2). Article 6(1) of that Regulation stipulates that delivery must take place by the end of the second month following receipt of the offer and in any case not later than 31 August of the current marketing year.
(2) As a result of constraints associated with the organisation of the market, following the introduction of the reform of the CAP, resulting from the limiting of the quantities of rice that can be bought into intervention and the fixing of allocation coefficients, it is difficult for the intervention agencies to meet the time limit for the delivery of the products. Consequently, there should be a derogation, for the current 2003/04 marketing year, from the time limit requiring delivery by the end of the second month following.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 708/98, all deliveries of paddy rice for taking over by the intervention agency in respect of the 2003/04 marketing year must take place no later than 31 August 2004.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 June 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(5) In order to ensure that approved rapid tests maintain the same level of performance after approval a procedure should be laid down for possible modifications to the test or the test protocol.

COMMISSION  DECISION

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Tracor - Signal Averager, model TN-1550' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(84/245/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES

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 3 October 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Tracor - Signal Averager, model TN-1550', ordered on 16 December 1982 and intended to be used for research by means of electron-nuclear double resonance spectroscopy on photolytically prepared primary products of bacterial and plant photosynthesis, 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 11 April 1984 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 signal analysis system; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the frequency response and the precision, 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 'IN 110' manufactured by Intertechnique, F-78370 Plaisir,
The apparatus described as 'Tracor - Signal Averager, model TN-1550', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 3 October 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
