COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 879/2011
of 2 September 2011
amending Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 as regards catch limits for Norway pout and associated by-catches in ICES zone IIIa and Union waters of ICES zones IIa and IV
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 of 18 January 2011 fixing for 2011 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in EU waters and, for EU vessels, in certain non-EU waters (1), and in particular Article 5(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Zero catch limits for the stock of Norway pout and associated species in ICES zone IIIa and in Union waters of ICES zones IIa and IV are laid down in Annex IA to Regulation (EU) No 57/2011.
(2) On the basis of the scientific information collected during the first half of 2011, the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries advises that catches in 2011 of up to 6 000 tonnes would correspond to a fishing mortality of 0,02 and are expected to maintain the stock above precautionary limits.
(3) Norway pout is a North Sea stock which is shared with Norway but which is currently not managed jointly by the two Parties. The measures provided for in this Regulation should be in accordance with consultations held with Norway pursuant to the provisions of the Agreed Record of conclusions of fisheries consultations between the European Union and Norway of 3 December 2010.
(4) In consequence, the Union share of Norway pout catches in ICES zone IIIa and in Union waters of ICES zones IIa and IV should be fixed at 75 % of 6 000 tonnes.
(5) Haddock and whiting are caught as a by-catch in the Norway pout fishery. It is therefore appropriate to count these catches against the Member State quotas for Norway pout and associated species, but in order to prevent excessive catches the quantities of these species that can be counted against this quota should be limited to 5 % of the total.
(6) Annex IA to Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) Norway pout is a short-lived species. Consequently the new quantities of the catch limitations should be implemented as soon as possible, in order to ensure the continued operation of the fishery. This regulation should therefore enter into force on the day following its publication.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
Annex IA to Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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.

(82/843/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 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 19 May 1982, 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 'Space Optics - Off-Axis Parabolas, model OAP 18-01-08', ordered on 16 October 1980 and to be used for the development of new procedures and techniques in earth-oriented space research, should be considered as 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 22 October 1982, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements, to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the 'Space Optics - Off-Axis Parabolas, model OAP 18-01-08' may not be regarded as an instrument or apparatus within the meaning of Article 3 (1) of the aforementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 but consists in fact of an accessory of an holographic system; whereas the latter must therefore be regarded as 'accessory' within the meaning of Article 3 (2) (a) of the said Regulation; whereas the possibility of granting importation free of duties must therefore be assessed in the light of the provisions of the said Article 3 (2) (a);
Whereas the accessory in question is not suitable for use with an instrument or apparatus imported free of duties or capable of being so imported; whereas, therefore, the conditions for import free of duties are not fulfilled,
The 'Space Optics - Off-Axis Parabolas, model OAP 18-01-08', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 19 May 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
