COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1181/2012
of 10 December 2012
authorising an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using the grapes harvested in 2012 in certain wine-growing regions
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular the third paragraph of Article 121 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Point A.3 of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that Member States may request that the limits for increasing the alcoholic strength (enrichment) of wine by volume be raised by up to 0,5 % in years when climatic conditions have been exceptionally unfavourable.
(2) Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom have requested such increases of the limits for enrichment of the wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2012, as climatic conditions during the growing season have been exceptionally unfavourable in certain geographical regions.
(3) Due to the exceptionally adverse weather conditions during 2012, the limits on increases in the natural alcoholic strength provided for in Point A.2 of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 do not enable the production of wine with an appropriate total alcoholic strength in certain wine-growing regions for which there would normally be market demand.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to authorise an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using the grapes harvested in 2012 in Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
In the geographical regions listed in the Annex to this Regulation, by derogation from Point A.2 of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the increase in natural alcoholic strength by volume of fresh grapes harvested in the year 2012, grape must, grape must in fermentation, new wine still in fermentation and wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2012, shall not exceed 3,5 % vol.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 11 December 2006
establishing the Community’s financial contribution to the expenditure incurred in the context of the emergency measures taken to combat bluetongue in France in 2004 and 2005
(notified under document number C(2006) 6382)
(Only the French text is authentic)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Outbreaks of bluetongue occurred in France in 2004 and 2005. The emergence of that disease presented a serious risk to the Community's livestock population.
(2) In order to prevent the spread of the disease and to help eradicate it as quickly as possible, the Community should contribute financially towards the eligible expenditure incurred by the Member State under the emergency measures taken to combat the disease, as provided for in Decision 90/424/EEC.
(3) Commission Decision 2005/659/EC of 15 September 2005 concerning a financial contribution by the Community in the context of the vaccination campaigns against bluetongue in France in 2004 and 2005 (2) granted a financial contribution from the Community to France towards the expenditure incurred under the emergency measures to combat bluetongue implemented in 2004 and 2005.
(4) In accordance with that Decision, a first instalment of EUR 150 000 was granted.
(5) Pursuant to that Decision, the balance of the Community financial contribution is to be paid on the basis of the application submitted by France on 6 December 2005 and supporting documents setting out the figures quoted in the application.
(6) In view of those considerations, the total amount of the Community’s financial contribution to the eligible expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of bluetongue in France in 2004 and 2005 should now be fixed.
(7) The results of the inspections carried out by the Commission in compliance with the Community veterinary rules and the conditions for granting Community financial contributions mean the entire amount of the expenditure submitted cannot be recognised as eligible.
(8) The Commission’s observations, method of calculating the eligible expenditure and final conclusions were communicated to France in a letter dated 20 September 2006.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The total Community financial contribution towards the expenditure associated with eradicating bluetongue in France in 2004 and 2005 pursuant to Decision 2005/659/EC is fixed at EUR 250 175.
Since a first instalment of EUR 150 000 has already been paid pursuant to Decision 2005/659/EC, the balance of EUR 100 175 shall be paid to France.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

Whereas, by letter dated 26 September 1978, the United Kingdom Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Nikon mask alignment microscope", used in research into guided optical waves for communication purposes should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, if 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 7 February 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination shows that the apparatus in question is a microscope of rather simple conception which is used mainly for the manufacture of integrated circuits ; whereas in itself it does not have objective scientific characteristics making it specially suited to pure scientific research ; whereas its use in this particular case cannot in itself give it the character of a scientific apparatus specially suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it cannot therefore be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Nikon mask alignment microscope" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
