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 7 April 1982, the Federal Republic of 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 'Ithaco - Heterodyne Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 391A' ordered on 14 November 1979 and to be used for the study of the magnetic properties of oligoatomic metal layers, 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 21 September 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 amplifier;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility in relation to sound 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 'Ithaco - Heterodyne Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 391A', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 7 April 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas having regard to the declaration of the Council of the European Communities and of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States meeting in the Council of 22 November 1973 on the programme of action of the European Communities on the environment (3);
Whereas that programme lays stress inter alia on the fact that marine pollution affects the whole Community, both because of the essential role played by the sea in the preservation and development of species and on account of the importance of sea transport for the harmonious economic development of the Community;
Whereas, furthermore, that programme and Council Directive 76/464/EEC of 4 May 1976 on pollution caused by certain dangerous substances discharged into the aquatic environment of the Community (4) provide that certain measures are to be implemented by the Community in order to reduce the various types of marine pollution;

Whereas the Community took part in the negotiations concerning the conclusion of the Convention Protocol for the protection of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution from land-based sources;
Whereas on 17 May 1980 the Community signed the said Protocol;
Whereas, in order to attain, in the course of the operation of the common market, one of the objectives of the Community in the field of the protection of the environment and of the quality of life, it appears necessary to approve the said Protocol;
Whereas, since the specific powers of act on required to adopt this Decision have not been provided for in the Treaty, it is necessary to invoke Article 235 thereof,
The Protocol for the protection of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution from land-based sources is hereby approved on behalf of the European Economic Community.
The text of the Protocol is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council shall deposit the Acts as provided for in Article 16 (4) of the Protocol referred to in Article 1 hereof.

(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
