(81/373/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 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 4 November 1980, the United Kingdom 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 "Arenberg-R. F. pulsed oscillator, model PG-655-C with accessories", to be used for research involving the measurement of the speed of ultrasonic waves in new materials of physical interest, 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 26 March 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 an oscillator;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the power 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 "Arenberg-R. F. pulsed oscillator, model PG-655-C with accessories", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 4 November 1980, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas market prices for maize are very high throughout the Community owing to the shortage of supplies following the drought in the summer of 1990; whereas the shortage of maize is offset by the availability of large quantites of common wheat;  whereas, however, as regards Portugal, given the difference between the price for common wheat and for other feed grain, the substitution of common wheat for maize in feedingstuffs in Portugal cannot take place under comparable economic conditions to  those in the other Member States;

Whereas given that this situation still persists, the temporary suspension should be extended for another month;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

Whereas:
(1) Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 lays down the possibility to increase the Community’s fishing opportunities for blue whiting and herring when third countries do not respect a responsible management of those stocks.
