Whereas on 23 July 1991, Belgium requested Commission authorization to initiate already in 1991 the action on its territory to be financed by resources chargeable to the 1992 budget and indicated the quantities of produce that it wished to distribute;  whereas it is desirable to initiate the scheme now in Belgium by making an allocation to that country; whereas this allocation shall not exceed 50 % of the resources allocated by Commission decision to Belgium in respect of the plan for 1991;
Whereas in order to facilitate the implementation of this scheme it is necessary to specify the rate of exchange to be employed in converting the ecu into the national currency and to do so at a rate which reflects economic reality,
1. The allocation for Belgium of the appropriations referred to in Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87 to be charged to the 1992 budget shall be ECU 1 209 500.
This sum shall be converted into national currency at the rate applicable on 3 January 1991 and published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Communities.
2. Subject to the limit set out in paragraph 1, the following quantities of produce may be withdrawn from intervention for distribution in Belgium:

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The use of sodium benzoate, belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use in weaned piglets by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 496/2011 (2).
(2) In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of authorisation of the substance concerned by reducing its minimum concentration from 99,9 % to 99,0 % as regards use on weaned piglets. That application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data.
(3) The European Food Safety Authority concluded in its opinion of 15 November 2011 that the substance concerned is safe for humans, the target species and the environment, and under the same conditions of use as the current formulation, its use is efficacious in weaned piglets at the requested minimum content of ≥ 99,0 % (3).
(4) The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.
(5) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 496/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In column 4 of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 496/2011 the words ‘Sodium benzoate: ≥ 99,9 %’ are replaced by ‘Sodium benzoate: ≥ 99,0 %’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3972/86 of 22 December 1986 on food-aid policy and food-aid management (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1930/90 (2), and in particular Article 6 (1) (c) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1420/87 of 21 May 1987 laying down implementing rules for Regulation (EEC) No 3972/86 on food-aid policy and food-aid management (3) lays down the list of countries and organizations eligible for food-aid operations  and specifies the general criteria on the transport of food aid beyond the fob stage;
Whereas, following the taking of a number of decisions on the allocation of food aid, the Commission has allocated to certain countries and beneficiary organizations 2 260 tonnes of refined rape seed oil;
Whereas it is necessary to provide for the carrying-out of this measure in accordance with the rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2200/87 of 8 July 1987 laying down general rules for the mobilization in the Community of products to be  supplied as Community food aid (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 790/91 (5); whereas it is necessary to specify the time limits and conditions of supply and the procedure to be followed to determine the resultant costs;

COMMISSION DECISION  of 18 December 1991  on transitional measures applicable to Portuguese imports from other Member States of products of the pigmeat, egg and poultrymeat sectors  (Only the Portuguese text is authentic)  (92/87/EEC)
THE  COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 257 thereof,
Whereas Commission Decision (EEC) No 90/671 (1) authorized Portugal to apply in 1991, as necessary, a special duty on imports of pigmeat, eggs and poultrymeat from other Member States in order to enable the necessary adjustments to be made to the  application of common organization arrangements in those sectors which in Portugal are faced with serious structural problems; whereas such common organization arrangements have, since the beginning of the second stage, involved the abolition of all  protection of the Portuguese market from competition from other Member States and accordingly made it inappropriate to extend the adjustments provided for in the Act of Accession;
Whereas such adjustments have not yet been completed and would be seriously impeded by an excessively swift abolition of the said authorization whereas it is therefore appropriate to authorize Portugal to apply until 31 December 1992 a duty equal to  half the duty provided for in respect of 1991;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committees for Pigmeat, and for Eggs and Poultrymeat,
The Portuguese Republic is hereby authorized to apply from 1 January to 31 December 1992 special duties, the amounts of which are set out in Annexes I and II, on imports from other Member States of the products listed in these Annexes.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.
COMMISSION  DECISION

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 28 August 1981, Italy 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 'Du Pont - automatic superspeed refrigerated centrifuge, model RC-5B', to be used for the density gradient separations of subcellular particles, 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 12 January 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 a refrigerated supercentrifuge; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the specific density gradient 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 'Hi-spin 21' manufactured by MSE Scientific Instruments, Manor Royal, UK-Crawley, Sussex, and to the apparatus 'Cryofuge 20-3' manufactured by Heraeus-Christ GmbH, Postfach 1220, D-3360 Osterode am Harz,
The apparatus described as 'Du Pont - automatic superspeed refrigerated centrifuge, model RC-5B', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 28 August 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
