COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) N° 642/86

amending Regulation (EEC) N° 1303/83 laying down  special detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences and advance fixing  certificates for products processed from fruit and vegetables
THE COMMISSION OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization  of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Articles 13  (4) and 14 (3) thereof;
Whereas Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 1303/83 (2), as last amended by Regulation  (EEC) N° 793/85 (3), provides that the basic product in respect of which the refund is fixed in  advance shall be shown in the application for the certificate and the certificate itself; whereas  Regulation (EEC) N° 426/86 has extended the range of basic products for which export refund may be  granted and fixed in advance; whereas as a consequence Regulation (EEC) N° 1303/83 should be  amended;
Whereas in the advance fixing certificate the product to be exported shall be described with  reference to the relevant subheading of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas the criteria for  classifying a product in a specific subheading is in many cases the content of sugar; whereas an  exporter may need several advance fixing certificates for a specific product where the sugar  content of the product varies; whereas this situation could be avoided if the advance fixing  certificate could cover products with different sugar content; whereas such a simplification could  be made without creating problems for the management of the advance fixing system;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
In Regulation (EEC) N° 1303/83 Article 15 is replaced by the  following:
'Article 15
1.  In the case of advance fixing of the export refund:
(a)  The application for the certificate and the certificate itself shall indicate in section 12  the basic product in respect of which the refund is fixed in advance. For this purpose «basic  product» means:
- sugar, including white sugar, raw sugar and beet and cane syrup,
- glucose in the form of white crystalline powder, whether or not agglomerated,
- other glucose and glucose syrup, or
- isoglucose;
(b)  The products to be exported may, in the application for the certificate and in the certificate  itself, be described by reference to the four-digit heading of the Common Customs Tariff within  which the products fall. The certificate shall be valid for all products attracting export refund  falling within that heading.
2.  When the provisions of paragraph 1 (b) are applied, the amount of the security shall as a  derogation from Article 13 be 1,80 ECU/100 kg net.'
This Regulation shall enter into  force 1 March 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.
COMMISSION DECISION of 18 February 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "ICSP-microcomputer training system, course 525 A" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/138/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 26 August 1980, the Danish Government 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 "ICSP-microcomputer training system, course 525 A", to be used for training and for the processing of scientific data in connection with the acquisition of meteorological parameters from automatic weather stations, 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 8 January 1981 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 micro-processor;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "ICSP-microcomputer training system, course 525 A", which is the subject of an application by the Danish Government of 26 August 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
