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 16 February 1981, 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 "Spectra Physics - high performance liquid chromatograph, model SP 8000", to be used for the analysis of cosmetic products, of pesticides and of fungicides, 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 23 June 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 liquid chromatograph;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the separation power in the detection of the peaks of the substances 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 "LC-XP" manufactured by Pye Unicam Ltd, York Street, UK-Cambridge CB1 2PX, and to the apparatus "LC 750" manufactured by Applied Chromatography Systems Ltd, Concorde House, Concorde Street, Luton, UK-Bedfordshire,
The apparatus described as "Spectra Physics - high performance liquid chromatograph, model SP 8000", which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 16 February 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (1), as last amended by Directive 96/72/EC (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by Austria,
Whereas in Austria the production of seed of very early varieties of soja bean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) satisfying the requirements of Directive 69/208/EEC in relation to minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1996 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Austria should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 30 June 1997 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Austria with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Austria is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 June 1997, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 200 tonnes of seed of very early varieties of soja bean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 69/208/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 62 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 62 %.`
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorized to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territory of the seed authorized to be marketed under this Decision.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the various quantities of seed labelled and permitted to be marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the Council has agreed to examine, on a proposal from the Commission, what financial provisions could be adopted to assist the Member States in obtaining the appropriate monitoring and supervision facilities necessary for applying the common fisheries policy in the enlarged Community;

COMMISSION DECISION of 22 April 1994 on the regionalization plan submitted by Portugal under Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (Only the Portuguese text is authentic) (94/286/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 232/94 (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas, on 30 September 1992, Portugal submitted a regionalization plan to the Commission in accordance with Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92; whereas, pursuant to Commission Decision 93/121/EEC of 23 December 1992 on the regionalization  plan submitted by Portugal under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3), Portugal revised the plan; whereas a new plan was submitted to the Commission on 21 March 1994;
Whereas an examination of the revised plan shows that Portugal has retained the criteria previously used for regions in the southern part of the country resulting in the allocation, in accordance with a pre-established national classification of soils,  of a specific yield to each holding on the basis of the areas it comprises and for which a compensatory payment has been applied for; whereas as a consequence the plan does not result in the establishment of distinctive homogenous production zones in  the regions in question; whereas it does not, therefore, meet the criteria laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;
Whereas, however, in view of the work completed for the 1994 harvest, its applications for the 1994/95 marketing year should be permitted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,
1. For the 1994/95 marketing year, Portugal may apply, in regions in the southern part of the country and by way of a transitional measure, the regionalization plan notified to the Commission on 21 March 1994 based on the same criteria for  the classification of land as used for the establishment of the regionalization plan for the 1993/94 marketing year.
2. For the 1995/96 marketing year, the Portuguese Republic shall submit before 31 July 1994 a plan revising the methods referred to in paragraph 1 in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92.
The Community shall not be liable financially should expenditure exceed that arising from the application of this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.
