extending for six months the application of Regulation (EC) No 1475/2003 on the protection of deep-water coral reefs from the effects of trawling in an area north-west of Scotland
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy(1), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Immediate threats to the conservation of the aggregations of deep-water corals known as the Darwin Mounds gave rise to the adoption of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1475/2003 of 20 August 2003 on the protection of deep-water coral reefs from the effects of trawling in an area north-west of Scotland(2), on the basis of the emergency procedures provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 states that the emergency measures are to last no more than six months and that the Commission may take a new decision to extend them for an additional period of no more than six months.

(4) That Regulation might not be adopted before the expiry date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1475/2003. Meanwhile, the risks for the conservation of the Darwin Mounds persist.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to extend for six months the emergency measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1475/2003,
The application of Regulation (EC) No 1475/2003 shall be extended until 22 August 2004.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 7 April 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'PAR - Oma 2 System' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/166/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 16 September 1982, 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 'PAR - Oma 2 System', ordered on 6 December 1979 and intended to be used for surface- and spectro-photometry in respect of the spherical star clusters of neighbouring galaxies, 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 1 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 multichannel analyzer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision in the spectral field of the action, 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 'PAR - Oma 2 System', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 16 September 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 597/2002(4), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2392/2002(5).
(2) Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 provides that if during the period of application, the average import duty calculated differs by EUR 5 per tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be made. Such a difference has arisen. It is therefore necessary to adjust the import duties fixed in Regulation (EC) No 2392/2002.
(3) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2378/2002 provides for derogations from Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 regarding import duties in the cereals sector. Accordingly, the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 2392/2002 should be amended to indicate the duties applicable where importation is not effected under a tariff quota,
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 2392/2002 are hereby replaced by Annexes I and II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 4 January 2003.

Whereas, in the case of isopropylamine and its salts, falling within subheading 29.22 A ex III, the individual ceiling is fixed at 104 300 ECU; whereas, on 12 September 1984, imports of these products into the Community, originating in Romania, reached the individual ceiling in question after being charged there-against; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community;
Whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be re-established against Romania,
As from 18 September 1984, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3569/83, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in Romania:
