Council Decision
of 19 June 2000
on the signing and conclusion of Agreed Minutes between the European Community and the Government of the Republic of Korea relating to the world shipbuilding market
(2000/409/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 in conjunction with the first sentence of Article 300(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The world shipbuilding industry is experiencing severe problems due mainly to overcapacity. Unlike the Community industry, which carried out a programme of restructuring and capacity cuts throughout the 1990s, Korean shipyards substantially increased their capacity from 1993 onwards.
(2) A study of Korean contracts carried out for the Commission by an independent consultant showed that Korean shipyards were pricing well below cost. Such practices have enabled the Korean industry to increase its market share substantially, in particular at the expense of the Community industry, which is currently experiencing severe difficulties. With world prices extremely low, the Community industry saw its market share decline from 25 % in 1998 to 17 % in 1999.
(3) On 9 November 1999 and on 18 May 2000 the Council, examining the first and the second reports on the situation in world shipbuilding presented by the Commission under Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1540/98 of 29 June 1998 establishing new rules on aid to shipbuilding(1), noted that the sector was facing a critical situation worldwide and expressed its serious concern at such practices which were severely damaging to the interests of shipyards within the Community. In their Conclusions, the industry ministers called on the Commission to pursue its efforts to establish a level playing field for the sector by immediately engaging the Republic of Korea in constructive consultations with a view to halting the unfair competition.
(4) As instructed, the Commission accordingly held several rounds of intensive consultations with the Korean Government and negotiated draft Agreed Minutes. Once the Agreed Minutes are signed they will commit the Korean Government to refrain from any direct or indirect intervention to underwrite loss-making Korean shipyards, to apply internationally accepted financial and accounting principles and to ensure that Korean shipyards set prices that reflect market conditions. The Agreed Minutes also provide ad hoc consultation machinery to deal promptly with any issue raised by either of the parties.
(5) The Agreed Minutes should be approved,
The Agreed Minutes between the European Community and the Government of the Republic of Korea relating to the world shipbuilding market are hereby approved.
The text of the Agreed Minutes is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person empowered to sign the Agreed Minutes in order to bind the Community.

Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) thereof,
Whereas a list of establishments in Uruguay, approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community, was drawn up initially by Commission Decision which was amended and published by Decision 81/92/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 86/147/EEC (4);
Whereas a routine inspection under Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 3 (1) of Commission Decision 86/474/EEC of 11 September 1986 concerning the on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (5) has revealed that the level of hygiene of one establishment has altered since the last inspection;
Whereas the list of establishments should therefore be amended;

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 698/2014
of 24 June 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 as regards delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 (2) listed delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis in its Annex I setting out active substances which are not included as active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3). That listing was due to the fact that a commitment to further prepare the necessary dossier for that active substance had not been notified.
(2) The Commission realised that listing delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 could give rise to confusion in view of the fact that Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4) lists several strains of Bacillus thuringiensis as approved active substances.
(3) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.

Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 the entry ‘delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis’ is deleted.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 25 October 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'LSI - Vascular Diagnostic Computer' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/536/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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (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 27 April 1983, Italy 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 'LSI - Vascular Diagnostic Computer', ordered on 11 January 1982 and intended to be used for the analysis of the different parameters that can vary in the course of vascular disease, in particular the pulse volume curve and the perfusion volume of the limb, and determination of the perfusion pressure on any arterial segment, 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 23 September 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 a computer; 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 'LSI - Vascular Diagnostic Computer', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 27 April 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
