COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 19 December 1974  on the tax reliefs to be allowed on the importation of goods in small consignments of a non-commercial character within the Community  (74/651/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 99 and 100 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 Economic and Social Committee (2);
Whereas the tax impediments at present hindering the dispatch from one Member State to another of small consignments of goods intended for private persons constitute an obstacle to the creation of an economic market with characteristics similar to those of a domestic market ; and whereas the elimination of such impediments is the corollory to freedom of movement and freedom of establishment for persons in the Community;
Whereas such impediments should be reduced as far as possible in respect of small consignments from one private person to another in order to assist personal and family contacts between private persons in different Member States,
1. Goods dispatched from a Member State in small consignments of a non-commercial character by a private person, wherever may be his permanent or usual residence or his principal place of business, intended for another private person in another Member State shall be allowed relief from turnover taxes and excise duties payable on importation.
2. For the purpose of paragraph 1, small consignments of a non-commercial character mean consignments of goods which:    (a) have been acquired in the Community subject to the taxation normally imposed in the domestic market in one of the Member States and without relief from turnover taxes and/or excise duties;
(b) are not intended for commercial use and appear from their nature and quantity to be intended solely for the personal or family use of the recipient;
(c) are not sent against payment of any kind by the recipient ; and
(d) do not have a total value exceeding 40 units of account for each consignment.
3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, Member States shall have power to  (1)OJ No C 129, 11.12.1972, p. 58. (2)OJ No C 142, 31.12.1972, p. 3.
reduce the relief allowed for small consignments for products which are subject to the quantitative limits referred to in Article 4 (1) of Council Directive No 69/169/EEC (1) of 28 May 1969 on the harmonization of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to the relief from turnover taxes and excise duty collected on importation in international passenger traffic, as amended by Council Directive No 72/230/EEC (2), or to exclude those products from the benefit of the said relief.
1. Member States shall put into operation the measures necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 April 1975.
2. Each Member State shall inform the Commission of the measures it takes to apply this Directive. The Commission shall communicate this information to the other Member States.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

, in view of the situation in Somalia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 356/2010 of 26 April 2010 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain natural or legal persons, entities or bodies, in view of the situation in Somalia (1), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,

COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 288/89
of 3 February 1989
on deterining the origin of integrated circuits
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 of the Council of 27 June 1968 on the common definition of the concept of origin of goods (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3860/87 (2), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 lays down that a product in the production of which two or more countries were concerned shall be regarded as originating in the country in which the last substantial process or operation that is economically justified was performed, having been carried out in an undertaking equipped for the purpose, and resulting in the manufacture of a new product or representing an important stage of manufacture;
Whereas, for integrated circuits, the variety of operations which come within the scope of manufacture makes it necessary to establish the last substantial process or operation for the application of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 802/68;
Whereas the diffusion stage of manufacture is technically highly sophisticated, requires great precision and presupposes a large research investment; whereas, in the context of the totality of the operations necessary for the manufacture of integrated circuits, it is considered that the manufacturing operations following diffusion (such as assembly and testing) are so significantly less important than diffusion that they cannot individually or collectively constitute a substantial operation and thus cannot meet the requirement of being the last substantial operation in the manufacture of integrated circuits; whereas diffusion by means of which the intelligent contribution to the integrated circuit is completed and the integrated circuit is given all its functional capabilities has to be designated for the purposes of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 as the last substantial operation in the manufacture of integrated circuits; whereas diffusion in this context shall be defined as the process whereby integrated circuits are formed on a semiconductor substrate by the selective introduction of an appropriate dopant;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee of Origin,
The manufacture of integrated circuits only confers on the said product the origin of the country where it was carried out in the case where the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Regulation are fulfilled.
This Regulation shall enter into force three days following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3375/85
of 29 November 1985
fixing the prices to be used for calculating the value of agricultural products in intervention storage to be carried forward to the 1986 financial year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1716/84 (2), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 8, thereof,
Whereas it is specified in the first paragraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 that prices are to be determined for calculating the value of the agricultural products in intervention storage to be carried forward to the next financial year; whereas these products are generally valued at their purchase price; whereas the basis should be the actual purchase prices paid by the intervention agencies during a reference period running from 1 December 1984 to the latest month for which the figures are known, including quantities carried over from 1984 and entered in the accounts on 1 December 1984 at their carry-over prices;
Whereas an exceptional measure involving the buying-in and storage of pigmeat by the Belgian intervention agency was adopted in Commission Regulations (EEC) No 772/85 (3), (EEC) No 978/85 (4) and (EEC) No 1477/85 (5) in order to support the pigmeat market which was affected by reflections on the free movement of products as a result of the occurrence of African swine fever in Belgium; whereas, for these intervention purchases, the actual purchase prices paid are not yet known, and therefore the price to be used for pigmeat is the average purchase price recorded by the Belgian authorities for the quantities taken over before 1 December 1985;
Whereas Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3184/83 of 31 October 1983 on the operation of the system of advances in respect of expenditure financed by the EAGGF Gurantee Section (6) provides that expenditure in the last month of the financial year is to be bassed on physical operations plus stock levels in the preceding month; whereas, therefore, stocks at the end of the year must be valued at the levels on 30 November;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee;
The prices to be used for calculating the value of agricultural products, with the exception of pigmeat, in intervention storage to be carried forward to the 1986 financial year shall be as set out in the Annex.
The price to be used for calculating the value of pigmeat in intervention storage in Belgium to be carried forward to the 1986 financial year shall be the average purchase price recorded by the Belgien authorities for the quantities taken over before 1 December 1985.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(2) thereof,
Whereas:

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 595/2008
of 16 June 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 temporarily suspending the autonomous common customs tariff duties on certain industrial, agricultural and fishery products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) It is in the Community's interest to suspend partially or totally the autonomous common customs tariff duties on a number of new products not listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 (1).
(2) The CN and TARIC codes 5603121020 and 8504408420 for two products which are listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 should be withdrawn from that list because it is no longer in the Community's interest to maintain suspension of autonomous common customs tariff duties.
(3) In addition, the descriptions of eight products need to be altered in order to take account of technical product developments and economic trends on the market. Those products should be considered as withdrawn from the list and should as a consequence be inserted in it as new products.
(4) Experience has shown the need to provide for an expiry date for the suspensions listed in Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 to ensure that account is taken of technological and economic changes. That should not exclude the premature termination of certain measures or their continuation beyond that period, if economic reasons are submitted, in accordance with the principles laid down in the Commission Communication of 1998 concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas (2).
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation, it is necessary to rely on the grounds of urgency provided for in point 1.3 of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities.
(7) Since the suspensions laid down in this Regulation have to take effect from 1 July 2008, this Regulation should apply from the same date and enter into force immediately,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the rows for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation shall be inserted;
2. the rows for the products for which the CN and TARIC codes are given in Annex II to this Regulation shall be deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
