Commission Regulation (EC) No 263/2003
of 12 February 2003
fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 February 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 477/84
of 21 February 1984

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas it is in the Community's interest to approve the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Principe on fishing off the coast of São Tomé and Principe, signed in Brussels on 1 February 1984,
The Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Principe on fishing off the coast of São Tomé and Principe is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

COMMISSION DECISION  of 22 December 1972  amending Decision No 4-53 on the publication of price lists and conditions of sale applied by undertakings in the coal and iron-ore industries  (72/442/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Articles 2 to 5, 60 and 63 (2) thereof;
Having regard to High Authority Decision No 4-53, as amended by Decision No 22-63 1 of 11 December 1963;
After consulting the Consultative Committee;
Whereas by Decision No 72/440 of 22 December 1972 2 the Commission redefined discriminatory practices within the meaning of Article 60 (1) of the Treaty ; whereas undertakings are consequently enabled to vary their prices according to consumer groups without thereby infringing the prohibition on discriminatory practices;
Whereas, so that the position in the market may be clear, undertakings should be required to publish their increases or reductions in prices;
Whereas quantity and loyalty bonuses are applied extensively in respect of coal sales ; whereas so that the market situation be clear, it is appropriate that exemption from compulsory publication be no longer allowed as regards such bonuses;
Whereas, since relations between undertakings in the Community steel and iron-ore industries are such that iron-ore is consumed almost exclusively by combined undertakings so that virtually no market for Community iron-ore exists, the provisions governing the publication of price lists and conditions of sale applied by the iron-ore industry should be repealed;
Decision No 4-53, as amended on 11 December 1963, is amended as follows:    1. The words "and iron-ore" are deleted from the title and from Article 1 (1) and (3).
2. The following is added to Article 2 (2):
"(f) price increases and reductions for specific consumer groups;
(g) quantity and loyalty bonuses."
3. Article 2 (3) is hereby repealed.
4. The words "large coke and crushed coke" are deleted from point 2 of Article 3, and point 5 is deleted.
This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1973.
The text of Decision No 4-53, as amended by this Decision, shall be published by way of Notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 13 March 1984
establishing that the apparatus described as 'SHE - Squid Magnetometer, model 300 X' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(84/166/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

,
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 12 September 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'SHE - Squid Magnetometer, model 300 X', ordered on 15 September 1982 and intended to be used for measuring the transient magnetic fields, 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 17 February 1984 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 magnetometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the great sensibility 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 'MS 03' manufactured by Laboratoire d'ĂŠlectronique et de technologie de l'informatique, avenue des Martyrs 85X, F-38041 Grenoble,
The apparatus described as 'SHE - Squid Magnetometer, model 300 X', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 12 September 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
