THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

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 14 November 1982, Italy 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 'Chromatix - Flashlamp Pumped Dye Laser, model CMX-4', ordered on 15 May 1979 and intended to be used in measurements of dual photon excitation for the study of non-linear optic properties of impurity in alkaline halogens and of excitons in silver salts, 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 a laser;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the power associated with the impulse, 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 'Chromatix - Flashlamp Pumped Dye Laser, model CMX-4', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 14 November 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 321/95 of 16 February 1995 amending for the  second time Regulation (EC) No 3146/94 adopting exceptional support measures for the market in  pigmeat in Germany
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization  of the market in pigmeat  (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and  Sweden, and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Germany,  exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat were adopted for that Member State in  Commission Regulation (EC) No 3146/94  (2), amended by Regulation (EC) No 156/95  (3);
Whereas, due to new outbreaks of classical swine fever in the district of Emsland in Lower Saxony,  the veterinary and trade restrictions imposed by the German authorities have been enlarged to that  area; whereas, therefore, it is necessary to include that area in the exceptional support measures  introduced by Regulation (EC) No 3146/94;
Whereas it is appropriate to increase the number of fattened pigs, piglets and young piglets which  can be delivered to the competent authorities in Lower Saxony and to adjust the aid granted for the  delivery of the animals to the present market situation taking into account the increase in market  prices;
Whereas the restrictions on the free movement of animals have been operative for several weeks now  in the zones in question, provoking a substantial increase in the weight of the animals and  consequently leading to an intolerable situation where the welfare of the animals is concerned;  whereas retroactive application of this Regulation from 6 February 1995 is therefore justified;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Regulation (EC) No 3146/94 is hereby amended as follows:
1.  The following paragraph 5 is added to Article 1:
'5.  If the numbers in paragraphs 3 and 4 relating to fattened pigs and piglets delivered in Lower  Saxony are reached, aid may be granted for a following 10  500 fattened pigs and a following 1  050  piglets on the terms laid down in paragraph 3 and for a following 4  500 fattened pigs and a  following 450 piglets on the terms laid down in paragraph 4.` 2.  Article 5 is hereby amended as follows:
(a)  in paragraph 1, 'ECU 108` and 'ECU 92` are replaced by 'ECU 144` and 'ECU 122`;

(2) By letter of 16 May 2006, the Commission informed Portugal that it had decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the aid. The Portuguese authorities presented their comments in accordance with this procedure by letter of 31 August 2006.

II.   WITHDRAWAL OF THE NOTIFICATION
(5) By letter of 4 May 2007, Portugal informed the Commission that the notified aid would no longer be implemented given that Autoeuropa had modified its training project and that the notification thus no longer served any purpose.
(6) The Commission notes that, according to Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 (3), the Member State concerned may withdraw the notification in due time before the Commission has taken a decision on the aid.
