(89/436/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation (1) consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community, signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972 does not make provision for the Swiss Confederation to suspend customs duties on goods imported from Spain;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to approve a Third Additional Protocol to the abovementioned Agreement in order to provide for the total suspension of duties on products covered by that Agreement imported into Switzerland from Spain,
The Third Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

Whereas this Regulation should take effect without delay in order to allow licences to be issued as  quickly as possible;
Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set  by its chairman,

COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE

(83/642/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), as last amended by Directive 82/893/EEC (2), and in particular Article 7 (1) (C) and (E) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Directive 64/432/EEC laid down, for intra-Community trade in bovine animals, health guarantees relating to brucellosis; whereas, however, Article 7 (1) (C) thereof allows Member States to grant derogations until 31 December 1983 concerning trade in bovine animals which are intended for meat production and which are under 30 months of age; whereas Article 7 (1) (E) of that Directive also allows Member States to grant derogations concerning trade in bovine animals which are intended for meat production and which are under 42 days of age or have been castrated before the age of four months; whereas these authorizations may also be applied in respect of bovine animals intended for slaughter;
Whereas it is appropriate to facilitate trade in bovine animals while at the same time taking account of the current brucellosis situation in certain Member States;
Whereas the Community is successfully applying an accelerated scheme for brucellosis eradication;
Whereas, however, in certain Member States the total elimination of brucellosis has not yet been achieved, although it is expected that this objective will be realized within the next two years;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to prolong the period of validity of Article 7 (1) (C) and (E),
The period of validity of Article 7 (1) (C) and (E) of Directive 64/432/EEC is hereby prolonged until 31 December 1985.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 January 1984. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

COMMISSION DECISION of 3 March 1998 concerning the extension of an exemption granted to Germany pursuant to Article 8(2)(c) of Council Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (Only the German text is authentic) (98/205/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Whereas by Decision 96/21/EC (3) the Commission approved the request for an exemption submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to Article 8(2)(c) of Directive 70/156/EEC concerning one type of gas discharge lamp for three types of headlamp for motor vehicles, meeting the requirements of UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulations Nos 8, 98 and 99, with a view to the granting of EC type approval;
Whereas the request for an extension of the exemption submitted by Germany on 16 July 1997 is justified by the fact that the measures needed to adapt the Directives which were the subject of that exemption have not yet come into force and the exemption should therefore be extended until the entry into force of the adaptations to those directives and, in any case, for a maximum period of 24 months;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The exemption granted to Germany by Decision 96/21/EC is hereby extended until the entry into force of the adaptations to the directives concerned and, in any case, for a period not exceeding twenty-four months.
