Whereas:
(1) The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Norway, of the other part, on Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway, approved by Decision 96/753/EC, provides for an annual tariff quota for imports originating in Norway of chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa.

COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 778/83
of 30 March 1983
laying down quality standards for tomatoes
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1738/82 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Whereas the quality standards for tomatoes are laid down in Annex II/2 of Regulation No 23 (3); whereas those standards were amended by Regulation No 190/67/EEC (4);
Whereas a change has occurred in the production and marketing of tomatoes, particularly as regards the requirements of consumer and wholesale markets; whereas the common quality standards for tomatoes as laid down by Regulation No 23 should therefore be changed to take those new requirements into account;
Whereas such changes entail alteration of the definition of the supplementary quality class as laid down by Council Regulation No 211/66/EEC (5); whereas account should be taken, in defining that class, of the economic importance to producers of the products concerned and of the need to meet consumer requirements;
Whereas the standards are applicable at all stages of marketing; whereas transportation over a long distance, storage for a certain length of time or the various handling operations may bring about deterioration due to the biological development of the products or their tendency to perish; whereas, therefore, account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standards at the marketing stages following dispatch; whereas, since the products in the 'Extra' Class have to be particularly carefully sorted and packaged, only lack of freshness or turgescence is to be taken into account only in their case;
Whereas in the interest of clarity and certainty as to legal requirements for ease of use the standards thus changed should be consolidated in a single text;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegeables,
The quality standards for tomatoes falling within subheading 07.01 M of the Common Customs Tariff are set out in the Annex hereto.
These standards shall apply at all marketing stages, under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.
However, at the stages following dispatch the products may show, in relation to the standards prescribed,
- a slight lack of freshness and turgescence,
- for the products graded in the classes other than the 'Extra' Class, slight deterioration due to their development and their tendency to perish.
1. The words 'to tomatoes' in Article 2 of Regulation No 23 and the word 'tomatoes' in Article 1 of Regulation No 211/66/EEC are hereby deleted.
2. Annex II/2 to Regulation No 23 and Annex II to Regulation No 211/66/EEC are hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1983.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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 Article 43(j), in conjunction of Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Sales by a tendering procedure of skimmed milk powder were open by Commission Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 (2) in accordance with the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009 of 11 December 2009 laying down common detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards buying-in and selling of agricultural products under public intervention (3).
(2) In respect of the 2012 food distribution plan, the overall quantities of skimmed milk powder requested by Member States in accordance with Article 1(2)(a) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 of 14 September 2010 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union (4) exceed the currently available quantity. It is therefore appropriate to reserve all remaining quantity of skimmed milk powder in intervention stocks.
(3) The sales by a tendering procedure of skimmed milk powder opened by Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 should therefore be closed and that Regulation should be repealed. Consequently, the offers received by the intervention agencies of the Member States from 17 May 2011 from 11.00 (Brussels time) have become devoid of purpose.
(4) In order to give a rapid signal to the market and to ensure efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(5) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
The sales by a tendering procedure of skimmed milk powder, opened by Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 447/2010, are closed.
Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas the Community must therefore approve the Protocol,
The Protocol amending the Convention for the prevention of marine pollution from land-based sources is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES

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 8 November 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Tracor - Multichanel Analysis System, model TN-1710', ordered on 25 November 1980 and intended to be used for basic research into the interactions between ions and the surfaces of solids, the purpose of being to interpret the physics of ion reflection, ion emission and photon emission in the case of ion bombardment, should be considered to be 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 21 March 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an analysis system;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision of the spectral analysis, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Tracor - Multichannel Analysis System, model TN-1710', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 8 November 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
