COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 1275/84
of 7 May 1984
repealing the definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of standardized multi-phase electric motors having an output of more than 0,75 kW but not more than 75 kW, originating in the Soviet Union, and terminating the anti-dumping proceedings in respect of the said imports
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3017/79 of 20 December 1979 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1580/82 (2), and in particular Article 14 thereof.
Having regard to the proposal made by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee established by the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Definitive duty
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 2075/82 (3), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of standardized multi-phase electric motors having an output of more than 0,75 kW but not more than 75 kW, falling within subheading ex 85.01 B I b) of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE codes 85.01-ex 33, ex 34 and ex 36, originating in the Soviet Union. The Regulation also contained an acceptance of undertakings to raise prices given by exporters from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Poland and Romania, and terminated the anti-dumping proceedings in respect of imports of these products originating in those countries.
B. Review
(2) The Soviet exporter of the products in question, Energomachexport, Moscow, asked the Commission to review the definitive anti-dumping duty.
C. Undertaking
(3) When requesting the review, the Soviet exporter offered an undertaking to comply voluntarily with minimum export prices. This undertaking should eliminate the injury caused to the Community industry by the exports in question.
(4) The Commission, after consultations, accordingly adopted Decision 84/189/EEC (4) accepting the undertaking given by the Soviet exporter.
D. Repeal of definitive anti-dumping duty
(5) The Council therefore considers that the definitive anti-dumping duty is no longer required to protect the Community interest. Therefore Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/82 should be repealed.
(6) Definitive anti-dumping duties collected from 15 February 1984, the date on which the undertaking took effect, should be reimbursed,
Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/82 is hereby repealed.
Definitive anti-dumping duties collected as from 15 February 1984 pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2075/82 shall be reimbursed.
The anti-dumping proceedings in respect of imports of standardized multi-phase electric motors having an output of more than 0,75 kW but not more than 75 kW, originating in the Soviet Union, are hereby terminated.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
SECOND COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 19 December 1978  amending Directive 74/651/EEC on the tax reliefs to be allowed on the importation of goods in small consignments of a non-commercial character within the Community  (78/1034/EEC)

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 99 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 1 (2) (d) of Council Directive 74/651/EEC of 19 December 1974 on the tax reliefs to be allowed on the importation of goods in small consignments of a non-commercial character within the Community (4) allows tax relief for small consignments containing goods whose total value does not exceed 40 units of account;
Whereas the introduction of the European unit of account in the legal acts adopted by the institutions of the European Communities in the field of tax exemptions must not have the effect of reducing the equivalent value in national currencies of the amounts at present eligible for relief ; whereas this objective can be attained by fixing at 60 European units of account the amount of the tax relief referred to in Article 1 (2) (d) of Directive 74/651/EEC,
In Article 1 (2) (d) of Directive 74/651/EEC, "40 units of account" shall be replaced by "60 European units of account".
The following Article shall be inserted in Directive 74/651/EEC:
"Article 1a
1. For the purposes of this Directive, "European unit of account" (EUA) shall be as defined in the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 (1).
2. The EUA equivalent in national currency which shall apply for the implementation of this Directive shall be fixed once a year. The rates applicable shall be those obtaining on the first working day of October with effect from 1 January of the following year.
3. Member States may round off the amounts in national currency resulting from the conversion of the amount in EUA provided for in Article 1 (2) (d) provided such rounding-off does not exceed 2 EUA.
4. Member States may maintain the amount of the relief in force at the time of the annual adjustment provided for in paragraph 2 if, prior to the rounding off provided for in paragraph 3, conversion of the amount of the relief expressed in EUA would result in a change of less than 5 % in the relief expressed in national currency.
(1)OJ No L 356, 31.12.1977, p. 1."
1. Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive no later than 1 January 1979.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission of the provisions which they adopt to implement this Directive. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/95/EC requires the Commission to evaluate certain hazardous substances prohibited pursuant to Article 4(1) of that Directive.
(2) Certain materials and components containing lead and cadmium should be exempted from the prohibition, since the elimination of these hazardous substances in those specific materials and components is still technically or scientifically impracticable.

(4) No practicable substitutes for lead in the plating layer of high voltage diodes on the basis of a zinc borate glass body are available.
(5) The substitution of cadmium and cadmium oxide in thick film pastes used on aluminium bonded beryllium oxide is currently not practicable.

(7) Substitution for mercury used as a cathode sputtering inhibitor in DC plasma displays with content of up to 30 mg per display is currently technically impracticable, but should be practicable by 1 July 2010.
(8) Directive 2002/95/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/95/EC, the Commission has consulted the relevant parties.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 121/94 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 571/95 (3), lays down certain rules of application for import quotas under preferential conditions in the form of a reduction of the import levy; whereas, since these levies are being replaced by customs duties from 1 July 1995, it is necessary to make transitional adjustments to these arrangements;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1606/94 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1906/94 (5), lays down certain rules of application for import quotas under preferential conditions in the form of a reduction of the import levy; whereas, since these levies are being replaced by customs duties from 1 July 1995, it is also necessary to make transitional adjustments to these arrangements;
Whereas the rates of duties of the customs tariff within these quotas are those applicable on the day that the declaration of release for free circulation of the import is accepted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the 1995/96 marketing year, 'levy` and 'levies` shall be replaced by 'duty` and 'duties` respectively in Regulations (EC) No 121/94 and (EC) No 1606/94, each time that they appear.
