COMMISSION DECISION  of 22 December 1976  on the refusal to accept the scientific character of printing apparatus intended for high-speed printing described as "SPERRY UNIVAC 0770 Printer Subsystem"  (77/61/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),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 29 July 1976, the Danish Government requested the Commission to determine whether:    - a band printer and control, type 0770-2,
- an expanded character set control, type 1534-00,
- a print cartridge, type F 1537-01,
should be considered to be scientific apparatus;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all of the Member States met on 8 December 1976 within the Committee on Duty Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination shows that the band printer and control, the expanded character set control and the print cartridge constitute the printing equipment for high speed printing described as SPERRY UNIVAC 0770 ; whereas such apparatus does not in itself consist of special equipment intended to be used specifically for scientific purposes;
Whereas, on the other hand, this apparatus is evidently able to be used for commercial or industrial purposes ; whereas therefore this apparatus cannot be considered to be scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as:    - a band printer and control, type 0770-2,
- an expanded character set control, type 1534-00,
- a print cartridge, type F 1537-01,

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 640/2006
of 10 April 2006
repealing Regulations (EEC) No 3181/78 and (EEC) No 1736/79 concerning the European Monetary System
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Central Bank (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 3181/78 of 18 December 1978 relating to the European monetary system (3) gives the European Monetary Co-operation Fund (EMCF) the power to receive reserves from Member States and to issue ECUs. The tasks of EMCF were taken over by European Monetary Institute and the EMCF was dissolved. Subsequently those tasks were taken over by the European Central Bank. Therefore, that Regulation is not relevant anymore and should be repealed.
(2) Council Regulation (EEC) No 1736/79 of 3 August 1979 on interest subsidies for certain loans granted under the European monetary system (4) provides that during a period of five years from the date of its application the Community may grant interest subsidies on certain types of loans (European Investment Bank (EIB) loans to finance investments in the less prosperous Member States, inter alia in infrastructure). This period of five years, which was not extended, has expired in 1984. Furthermore, according to Article 1 of that Regulation, a Member State had to participate in the mechanisms of the European monetary system in order to benefit from the subsidies. This condition suggests also that that Regulation is no longer applicable. Those loans granted by the EIB which benefited from the subsidies have in the meantime been repaid. Therefore, that Regulation is not relevant anymore and should be repealed,
Regulations (EEC) No 3181/78 and (EEC) No 1736/79 are hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the 1989/90 marketing year, the amounts provided for in Article 8 (1) (a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84 shall be as follows:
