Whereas:
(1) In order to permit the maintenance of traditional dairy farming in Madeira, Council Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the Azores and Madeira(3) stipulates that Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92(4) is not, within the limit of local production, to apply to Madeira.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 sets the reference quantities applicable in each Member State. The exemption must not affect application of the levy arrangements in Portugal. The reference quantity for Portugal should therefore be reduced by an amount equal to that of the quantities available to producers in Madeira that were used in determining it. The Annex to the Regulation should be amended accordingly, with effect from 1 April 2001,
The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 shall be replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply as from 1 April 2001.

COUNCIL  DECISION
of 24 July 1986
authorizing the extension or tacit renewal of certain trade agreements concluded between the Portuguese Republic and third countries
(86/345/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 69/494/EEC of 16 December 1969 on the progressive standardization of Agreements concerning commercial relations beteween Member States and third countries and on the negotiation of Community Agreements (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Portuguese Republic, with a view to avoiding any disruption of its commercial relations with the third countries concerned based on Agreement, requested authorization to extend or renew the abovementioned Agreements;
Whereas, however, most of the areas covered by these national Agreements are henceforth the subject of Community Agreements; whereas, in this situation, there should be authorization for the maintenance of national Agreements only for those areas not covered by Community Agreements; whereas, in addition, such authorization should not, therefore, adversely affect the obligation incumbent upon the Member State concerned to avoid and, where appropriate, to eliminate any incompatibility between such Agreements and the provisions of Community law;
Whereas the provisions of the Agreements to be either prolonged or renewed should not furthermore, during the period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas the Portuguese Republic has declared that the extension or tacit renewal of these Agreements would neither constitute an obstacle to the opening of Community negotiations with the third countries concerned and the transfer of the commercial substance of those Agreements to Community Agreements nor, during the period under consideration, hinder the adoption of the measures necessary to complete the standardization of the import arrangements of the Member States;
Whereas at the conclusion of the consultations provided for in Article 2 of Decision 69/494/EEC it was established, as the aforesaid declarations by the Portuguese Republic confirm, that the provisions of the Agreements to be extended or renewed would not, during the period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas, in these circumstances, the Agreements concerned may be either extended or tacitly renewed for a limited period,
The Trade Agreements and Protocols between the Portuguese Republic and third countries, as listed in the Annex hereto, may be extended or tacitly renewed up to the dates indicated for each of them for those areas not covered by Agreements between the Community and the third countries concerned and in so far as their provisions are not contrary to existing common policies.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

approving an addendum to the programme relating to the fodder drying sector submitted by the French Government pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77
(Only the French text is authentic)
(87/27/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2224/86 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas on 31 January 1986 the French Government forwarded an addendum to the programme approved by the Commission Decision 81/1024/EEC (3) relating to the fodder drying sector and on 28 August 1986 supplied supplementary information;
Whereas the addendum to the programme concerns the modernization and rationalization of facilities for harvesting, pre-wilting, transport, drying, storage and market preparation liable to preserve the high nutrition value of dehydrated fodder while reducing production costs, so as to make the sector more competitive and add value to its output; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas the application cannot be extended to protein concentrate obtained from lucerne juice, which is not included in Annex II.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2150/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2002 on waste statistics (1), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by Lithuania on 2 July 2004,
Having regard to the request made by Poland on 13 July 2004,
Having regard to the request made by Sweden on 26 August 2004,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2150/2002, derogations from certain provisions of Annexes to that Regulation may be granted by the Commission during a transitional period.
(2) Such derogations should be granted, at their request, to Lithuania, Poland and Sweden.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Statistical Programme Committee established by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (2),

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 389/2010
of 6 May 2010
amending Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004, as regards the management of fishing fleets in certain French outermost regions
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 of 30 March 2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions (1), and in particular Articles 1(2) and 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004 (2) lays down detailed implementing rules for Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1274/2007 (3) reviewed the reference levels for the fleets in Outermost Regions set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004, following the statement made jointly by the Council and the Commission during the Fisheries Council of 27 July 2006 (4).
(3) In the case of certain fleet segments of the French outermost regions, Regulation (EC) No 1274/2007 sought the regularisation of an important number of vessels which carried out fishing activities before 31 December 2006 and were active without having been entered in the EU Fleet Register. These regularisations were considered as an extension of the development plans that had been presented for the outermost regions concerned.
(4) A more recent and comprehensive inventory of the small-scale fleets operating in the most remote areas of the French outermost regions of Guyana and Martinique made by the French authorities has shown that the number of vessels requiring regularisation was underestimated at the time of the above-mentioned review of the reference levels. France has requested that a new regularisation be done for the unaccounted vessels as part of the development plans presented in 2007 for Guyana and Martinique.
(5) The fleet segments concerned by the request for increase in reference level target their activities on coastal fish resources which, according to the most recent scientific information, do not show conservation concerns.
(6) In order to contribute to the sustainable development of the fisheries sector in outermost regions, it is therefore appropriate to consider the need for regularisation of the concerned vessels in the framework of the development plans concerned and to increase the corresponding reference levels in order to allow the registration of these vessels in the EU Fleet Register.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in the Member States in accordance with the Treaties.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 5 July 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Aminco - Spectrofluorometer, model J 4-8970' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/481/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 29 December 1981, Belgium 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 'Aminco - Spectrofluorometer, model J 4-8970', ordered 8 September 1978 and to be used for research in the field of the micro and submicro analysis of plant phenolic and related compounds and also for determining the activity of the N-feruloyglycine deferulase enzyme, 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 14 May 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 spectrofluorometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the resolution power of the spectrum 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 'SFR 100' manufactured by Baird Atomic Ltd, East Street, UK-Braintree, Essex and to the apparatus 'JY 3 C' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91163 Longjumeau CĂŠdex,
The apparatus described as 'Aminco - Spectrofluorometer, model J 4-8970', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 29 December 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
