COMMISSION  DECISION
of 29 July 1987
derogating from High Authority recommendation No 1-64 on tariff protection in order to enable the generalized tariff preferences to be applied to certain iron and steel products originating in the developing countries
(130th derogation)
(87/439/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to High Authority recommendation No 1-64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by recommendation 81/772/ECSC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, for a number of years, the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community meeting within the Council have granted non-member countries covered by the generalized preferences scheme tariff advantages in respect of imports into the Community of certain ECSC iron and steel products in the form of total tariff suspensions without quantitative limits for certain types of product or total tariff suspensions within the limits of quotas either fixed or to be calculated for other types of product;
Whereas the Commission is involved in the negotiation of such concessions and in the decisions of the representatives of the Governments implementing them; whereas the decisions in question are taken with the Commission's full agreement;
Whereas such concessions are covered by Article 3 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64, under which the Commission, after consulting the Member States, can for reasons of commercial policy derogate from the tariff obligations laid down by the recommendation;
Whereas the most recent decision of the Member States establishing tariff concessions was adopted, with the Commission's agreement, on 16 December 1986 (3) and meets the requirements laid down in Article 3 of the recommendation for the granting of a derogation; that as a consequence it is appropriate to grant the derogation for the concessions in question;
Whereas the Member States have been consulted on the draft of this Decision,
The Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from obligations arising under Article 1 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64 to the extent necessary to apply, on imports from non-member countries of iron and steel products covered by the ECSC Treaty, the duty suspensions resulting from the Decision of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community of 16 December 1986.
This Decision is applicable with effect from 1 January 1987. It shall remain in force until 31 December 1987.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3618/89
of 1 December 1989
on the application of the guarantee limitation arrangements for sheepmeat and goatmeat for the 1990 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), and in particular Article 8 (3) thereof,
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 introduces arrangements for the limitation of the guarantee applicable for each marketing year; whereas Article 25 (1) and (3) of that Regulation provides that where the United Kingdom applies the variable premium arrangements transitionally, the guarantee limitation arrangements are to apply separately in Great Britain on the one hand and in the other regions as a whole on the other hand; whereas, however, Article 25 (4) of that Regulation provides that the reductions in the basic price in respect of Great Britain on the one hand and the rest of the Community on the other are to be gradually merged into a single reduction in proportion to the actual dismantling of the variable premium during each marketing year;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1310/88 (2) lays down the detailed rules for the application of these arrangements;
Whereas for the 1990 marketing year estimated ewe numbers exceed the maximum guaranteed level and result in the fixing of a reduction coefficient;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
For the 1990 marketing year:
(a) the coefficient referred to in the first indent of Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 shall be as follows:
- Great Britain: 12,0,
- rest of the Community: 7,0;
(b) in view of the alignment provided for in Article 25 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the coefficient actually applicable shall be as follows:
- Great Britain: 11,0,
- rest of the Community: 7,25;
(c) the weekly amounts of the guide level shall be as set out in the Annex in accordance with Article 25 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COUNCIL DECISION  of 4 February 1991  amending Decision 90/218/EEC concerning the administration of Bovine Somatotropin (BST)  (91/61/EEC)

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, by Decision 90/218/EEC (4) concerning the administration of Bovine Somatotropin (BST), the Council requested Member States to prohibit, until 31 December 1990, the administration of Bovine Somatotropin on their territory by any means whatsoever  to dairy cows as the effects and consequences of such administration were not sufficiently clear at the time;
Whereas the time limit originally provided for in order to make in-depth studies of such effects and consequences was short and the maintenance of the status quo of national rules concerning the authorization of this substance had been agreed under a  gentleman's agreement;
Whereas an additional time limit is necessary before the results of the studies being carried out become available and it therefore appears necessary, in order to avoid prejudging the contents of such results, to extend, to the authorization to place on  the market, the prohibition to administer Bovine Somatotropin, provided for by Decision 90/218/EEC,
    Article 1
Decision 80/218/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. the title is replaced by the following:
'Council Decision 90/218/EEC of 25 April 1990 concerning the placing on the market and administration of Bovine Somatotropin (BST)';
2. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'Article 1
Notwithstanding the scientific and technical examination of applications laid down by Community law, Member States shall take care, until 31 December 1991, not to authorize the placing on the market of Bovine Somatotropin and not to administer it on  their territory by any means whatsoever to dairy cows.';
3. In Article 4, '1 October 1990' and '31 December 1990' are replaced by '1 October 1991' and '31 December 1991' respectively.  Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
