COMMISSION  DECISION
of 15 November 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Quanta Ray - Nd: Yag Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A, with Pulsed Dye Laser, model PDL-1' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/805/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 6 May 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 'Quanta Ray - Nd: Yag Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A, with Pulsed Dye Laser, model PDL-1' ordered on 22 December 1980 and to be used for research in the field of photochemistry, chemical kinetics and spectroscopy in the gas phase and on surfaces, 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 20 October 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 laser;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the interval of the spectrum 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, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'YG482' with the 'TDL III' manufactured by Quantel SA, 17, avenue de l'Atlantique, 91400 Orsay, France and to the apparatus 'HY Series' with the '2000 Dye Laser' manufactured by JK Laser Ltd, Somers Road, Rugby, Warwickshire CV22 7DG, United Kingdom,
The apparatus described as 'Quanta Ray - Nd: Yag Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A, with Pulsed Dye Laser, model PDL-1' which is the subject of an application by Italy of 6 May 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(3) In view of the current market demand in Spain, an invitation to tender for the reduction in the duty on sorghum is appropriate.
(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 (4) provides in particular for a 60 % reduction in the duty applicable to imports of 100 000 tonnes of sorghum per calendar year, and a 50 % reduction over this quota. Cumulation of this benefit and the benefit resulting from the invitation to tender for the reduction in the import duty would disturb the Spanish cereals market. Such cumulation must therefore be ruled out.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1.   An invitation to tender is hereby opened for the reduction in the import duty referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 on sorghum to be imported into Spain.

on the issue of import licences for applications lodged during the first seven days of June 2013 under the tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 for poultrymeat
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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),

COMMISSION DECISION of 6 October 1994 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 as regards Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings in the period 1995 to 1997 (94/677/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 of 29 February 1988 on the organization of Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings between 1988 and 1997 (1), as last amended by Commission Decision 93/156/EEC (2), and in  particular Article 8 (1) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 on introducing support measures for the producers of certain agricultural crops (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 232/94 (4), provides for compensatory payments to be made to the  producers of certain agricultural crops; whereas only those producers who have set aside a fixed percentage of their arable land have a claim to such payments; whereas those provisions thus create new forms of land use, in that agricultural utilization  is linked with legal status, depending on whether or not the land qualifies for the aid;
Whereas the structure of agricultural holdings has a major influence on farmers' potential income, so that the effects of the new common agricultural policy measures on land use, production and economic potential of agricultural holdings need to be  monitored;
Whereas the Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 for the period 1988 to 1997 are the most appropriate means of monitoring and analysing trends in statistical terms by relating the arable  land set aside to other structural characteristics such as the age of the holder, the type of farming and holding size, the other crops and the number of livestock;
Whereas it is necessary, in view of the increasing demand for environmental information, to record set-aside arable land on the basis of an appropriate and harmonized classification, binding on all Member States, in order to obtain statistical  information which is comparable between Member States and over time; whereas it is therefore appropriate to add to the list of characteristics new survey characteristics concerning the agricultural areas for which farmers have obtained a compensatory  payment;
Whereas the general structure of the list of characteristics should not be changed; whereas the areas for which a compensatory payment is granted may therefore need to be recorded both in the category corresponding to their agricultural use and in a  separate category;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics,
For the period 1995 to 1997, Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
