COMMISSION  DECISION
of 16 January 1987
authorizing the Portuguese Republic to introduce intra-Community surveillance of imports of motorcycles originating in Japan which have been put into free circulation in one of the Member States
(Only the Portuguese text is authentic)
(87/121/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 80/47/EEC of 20 December 1979 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take in respect of imports of certain products originating in third countries and put into free circulation in another Member State (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,
Whereas the abovementioned Decision requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports concerned;
Whereas the Portuguese Government has submitted an application to the Commission for such authorization in respect of motorcycles originating in Japan falling within Common Customs Tariff heading No ex 87.09, Nimexe code 87.09-10;
Whereas Portugal maintains quantitative restrictions on imports of the products in question because of the economic difficulties facing the sector concerned in Portugal;
Whereas, as a result, there are differences in the conditions governing the import of these products into the Member States and these differences are capable of causing deflections of trade;
Whereas the Portuguese authorities have pointed out that, as a result of the abolition between Portugal and the Community of all quantitative restrictions and measures having equivalent effect concerning the movement of the products in question, there is a risk of trade in products originating in Japan being deflected through the other Member States towards Portugal; whereas such deflections are capable of aggravating the continuing difficulties affecting the sector concerned in Portugal thus putting at risk achievement of the objectives of the abovementioned trade measures;
Whereas the Commission has examined the application of the Portuguese Government and this examination has shown that Portugal should be authorized to introduce intra-Community surveillance of motorcycles originating in Japan put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas, to this end, Portugal should be authorized, until 31 December 1988, to make imports of motorcycles originating in Japan subject to the issue, in accordance with the procedures described in Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, of an import document,
The Portuguese Republic is authorized to introduce, until 31 December 1988 and in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, intra-Community surveillance of the products listed below, originating in Japan:
1.2 //  //  // CCT heading No  // Description  //  //  // ex 87.09 (Nimexe code 87.09-10)   // Motorcycles with or without side-cars, powered by internal combustion engines, of a cylinder capacity of 50 cm3 or less   //    //
This Decision is addressed to Portugal.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 6 August 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Micromeritics - Sedigraph Particle Size Analyzer, model 5000 D' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/587/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 2 March 1982, Belgium 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 'Micromeritics' - Sedigraph Particle Size Analyzer, model 5000 D', ordered on 21 May 1981 and to be used for defining a series of parameters characterizing inorganic powders in terms of their use for ceramics and in studying the kinetic behaviour of such powders during the sintering process, 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 8 June 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 an analyzer; 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 'Micromeritics - Sedigraph Particle Size Analyzer, model 5000 D', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 2 March 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
