COMMISSION  DECISION
of 13 January 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'LSI - Pulse Volume Recorder, model PVR-4-C' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/21/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 8 July 1982, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'LSI - Pulse Volume Recorder, model PVR-4-C', ordered on 4 August 1981 and to be used in experiments to confirm that the vessels of smokers with arterial disease respond in an exaggerated way to the inhalation of cigarette smoke, 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 14 December 1982 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 recorder;
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 - Pulse Volume Recorder, model PVR-4-C', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 8 July 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1630/98 of 20 July 1998 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 on the granting, for the 1988/89 to 1997/98 wine years, of permanent abandonment premiums in respect of wine-growing areas

Whereas the encouragement of the permanent abandonment of wine-growing areas by the grant of premiums is provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 (4);
Whereas, pending adoption of the reform of the common organisation of the market in wine, the existing scheme for the grant of permanent abandonment premiums in respect of wine-growing areas should be extended, whilst limiting the total area that may be covered by it;
Whereas Article 3(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 excludes from the permanent abandonment premium areas of less than 25 ares, except in the special case where they constitute the whole of the cultivated wine-growing area of the holding concerned; whereas experience has shown that this threshold may prove to be too high in certain wine-growing regions a feature of which is advanced fragmentation of the growth area; whereas Member States should be allowed to fix a threshold for these regions of less than 25 but not less than 10 ares,
Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 is amended as follows:
1. the title shall be replaced by the following:

COMMISSION DECISION

amending Decision 2000/609/EC as regards the importation of fresh ratite meat from Australia and Uruguay
(notified under document number C(2005) 4408)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/804/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/494/EEC of 26 June 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of fresh poultrymeat (1) and in particular Article 9(1), Article 11(1), Article 12 and Article 14(1) and Article 14a thereof,
Council Directive 92/118/EC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (I) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC (2) and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 94/85/EC of 16 February 1994 drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of fresh poultrymeat (3) includes Uruguay on that list.
(2) Commission Decision 2000/609/EC of 29 September 2000 laying down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of farmed ratite meat amending Decision 94/85/EC drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of fresh poultrymeat (4) provides that Member States are to authorise the importation of fresh meat of farmed ratites only from third countries or parts thereof listed in Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC, subject to certain conditions. At present, Uruguay is not included in that Decision.
(3) Following a Commission mission in October 2004, subsequent follow-up and guarantees provided by Uruguay, the animal and public health situation is now satisfactory so as to allow that country to be included on the list of approved third countries set out in Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC.
(4) In view of Uruguay’s animal health status as regards Newcastle disease, it is appropriate that imports of fresh meat of farmed ratites from Uruguay are accompanied by the model health attestation ‘A’ as laid down in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2000/609/EC.
(5) Decision 2000/609/EC, as amended by Decision 2004/118/EC, provides erroneously that fresh meat of farmed ratites from Australia must be accompanied by the model health attestation ‘A’ as laid down in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2000/609/EC, instead of the model health attestation ‘B’ laid down in that Annex. That mistake should therefore be corrected.
(6) Decision 2000/609/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC shall be replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
