COMMISSION DECISION of 20 July 1994 approving an amendment to the Spanish programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in the Basque Country (94/484/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 of 21 March 1989 establishing a system of transitional aids to agricultural income (1), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89 of 19 December 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of transitional aids to agricultural income (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1110/91 (3), and in particular
Article 10
(3) thereof,
Whereas on 12 February 1992 the Spanish authorities notified the Commission of their intention to establish a programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in the Basque Country; whereas the Commission approved the programme in its Decision  92/343/EEC (4);
Whereas Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 provides that that Regulation is to apply until 31 March 1993 and that no programme of agricultural income aid is to be approved after that date; whereas, therefore, in accordance with Article 7 (1) of  the same Regulation, after that date the Commission can only approve technical amendments to programmes of aid to agricultural income;
Whereas on 21 March 1994 the Spanish authorities notified the Commission that they had made some technical errors when drawing up the programme, and that the first period of application of the programme had shown there to be a risk that the consequences  of these errors were a threat to its success; whereas as result of these errors and the need to correct them the Spanish authorities did not make income aid payments at the pace that had been planned;
Whereas the Spanish authorities have requested that the scheduling of budget allocations provided for by the Decision approving the programme should be altered without altering the total amount chargeable to the Community budget; whereas it seems  appropriate to grant these technical requests since they are not of a nature to alter the substance of the Decision of 9 June 1992 approving the programme;
Whereas the Management Committee for Agricultural Income Aid was consulted on 19 July 1994 on the measure provided for in this Decision;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee was consulted on 19 July 1994 on the maximum amounts that can be charged to the Community budget each year under the programme approved,
The programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in the Basque Country notified to the Commission by the Spanish authorities on 12 February 1992, as amended by the communication of 21 March 1994, is hereby approved.
The maximum amounts that may be charged to the Community budget each year under this Decision are as follows:

(2012/408/EU)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 28 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

(2) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 provides that 0,35 % of the annual maximum amount can be made available each year for technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission. The budgetary authority proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 730 000.
(4) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2012, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 730 000 in commitment and payment appropriations.

COMMISSION DECISION of 6 July 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Perkin Elmer differential scanning calorimeter, DSC-2C" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/573/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 amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (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 21 January 1981, Germany 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 "Perkin Elmer differential scanning calorimeter, DSC-2C", to be used for the determination of the specific heat and the transition entropy of materials which have ferroelectric and other structural phase transition, and also in the study of properties of metallic glasses, for the determination of the temperature of crystallization and heat of crystallization of these materials, 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 28 April 1981 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 calorimeter;
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 "Perkin Elmer differential scanning calorimeter, DSC-2C" which is the subject of an application by Germany of 21 January 1981 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
