(notified under document number C(2002) 2029)
(Only the Spanish text is authentic)
(2002/414/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2587/2001(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 12(9) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 a Member State may be authorised to introduce a temporary measure whereby no compensatory aid is paid for marketed produce of new banana plantations when, in the Member State's view, there is a risk to the sustainable development of the production areas, with particular reference to conservation of the environment, and protection of the soil and the characteristic features of the countryside.
(2) On 25 April 2002 Spain submitted a request to the Commission to authorise it not to grant compensatory aid, over a period of three years, to new plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002 in the Canary Islands. This request was supplemented by the transmission of the draft Regional decree on 14 May 2002. The development of new plantations, often under plastic and outside traditional production areas, has a negative impact on environmental protection, in particular as regards the use of water resources and the conservation of the countryside. The development of new banana plantations also jeopardises the maintenance of small plantations on traditional terraces which are crucial to soil stability and the socioeconomic balance. Under these circumstances, granting the compensatory aid referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 to the produce of new banana plantations in the Canary Islands poses a serious a risk to the sustainable economic development of the production areas.
(3) Examination of the request presented by Spain shows that it complies with the aim and the provisions of Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93. This request should therefore be accepted.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
The request submitted by Spain to the Commission to authorise a measure excluding the produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002 from the compensatory aid referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 over a period of three years is hereby accepted.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.
COMMISSION DECISION of 16 March 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Ortec gamma-X detector, model 2112-10175" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/194/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 8 September 1980, the Danish Government 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 "Ortec gamma-X detector, model 2112-10175", to be used for research on activation analyses and in particular on radioactive isotopes, 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 March 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 gamma-X detector;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the resolution power 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 "Détecteur coaxial en germanium intrinsèque, Séries EG PC" manufactured by Enertec-Schlumberger, 1, rue Nieuport, F-78140 Vélizy-Villacoublay, to the apparatus "High Purity Germanium H.P. Ge Coaxial Detector Systems" manufactured by Harshaw Chemie BV, Strijkviertel 67, NL-3454 ZG De Meern, and to the apparatus "Séries Si(Li) X" manufactured by Laben, via E. Bassini 15, I-20133 Milan,
The apparatus described as "Ortec gamma-X detector, model 2112-10175", which is the subject of an application by the Danish Government of 8 September 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/152/EC
of 30 November 2009
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards the expiry date for inclusion in Annex I of the active substance carbendazim
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Directive 2006/135/EC (2) carbendazim was included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That inclusion expires on 31 December 2009.
(2) On request the inclusion of an active substance may be renewed for a period not exceeding 10 years. On 6 August 2007 the Commission received such a request from the notifier regarding the renewal of the inclusion for this substance.
(3) On 10 January 2008 the notifier submitted a technical dossier to the rapporteur Member State Germany in support of its request. Germany delivered its draft reassessment report on 27 July 2009. It is necessary that the European Food Safety Authority performs a peer review.
(4) Since it is impossible to complete the renewal procedure before the date when the inclusion of carbendazim will expire and since the request for renewal was made in sufficient time, in accordance with Article 5(5) of Directive 91/414/EEC a renewal should be granted for the period necessary to complete that procedure.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, in row No 149 (carbendazim (unstated stereochemistry) CAS No 10605-21-7 CIPAC No 263), in the sixth column (expiration of inclusion), the words ‘31 December 2009’ are replaced by the words ‘31 December 2010’.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 December 2009 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 January 2010.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
