Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2010/221/EU of 15 April 2010 approving national measures for limiting the impact of certain diseases in aquaculture animals and wild aquatic animals in accordance with Article 43 of Council Directive 2006/88/EC (2) allows certain Member States to apply placing on the market and import restrictions on consignments of those animals in order to prevent the introduction of certain diseases, including spring viraemia of carp (SVC), provided that the Member States have either demonstrated that they, or certain demarcated areas, are free of the disease in question (‘disease-free areas’) or that they have established an eradication programme to obtain such freedom.
(2) Annex I to Decision 2010/221/EU lists the disease-free areas and Annex II thereto lists the areas with approved eradication programmes.

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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (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 February 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'RCA - Quantacon Photomultiplier, model 8854', ordered on 24 May 1978 and to be used for research in the field of high-energy physics and in particular of the double storage rings and the positron-electron tandem cyclotron unit, should be considered as 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 8 June 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the 'RCA - Quantacon Photomultiplier, model 8854', may not be regarded as an instrument or apparatus within the meaning of Article 3 (1) of the aforementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75, but consists in fact of an accessory of a detector; whereas the latter must therefore be regarded as 'accessory' within the meaning of Article 3 (2) (a) of the said Regulation; whereas the possibility of granting importation free of duties must therefore be assessed in the light of the provisions of the said Article 3 (2) (a);
Whereas the accessory in question is not suitable for use with an instrument or apparatus imported free of duties or capable of being so imported; whereas, therefore, the conditions for import free of duties are not fulfilled,
The 'RCA - Quantacon Photomultiplier, model 8854', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 4 February 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) N° 1035/72 provides for the establishment of quality  standards for a number of products to be delivered fresh to the consumer; whereas these products  are listed in Annex I to the said Regulation; whereas these standards also apply to imports and  exports;
Whereas melons are already the subjet of extensive trade both within the Community and with third  countries;

COMMISSION DECISION of 24 February 1994 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain synthetic hand-knitting yarn, originating in Turkey (94/120/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 4 and 9 thereof,
After consultation with the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE  (1) In March 1993 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Committee of the Wool Textile Industry in the EEC on behalf of producers representing a major proportion of the Community production of the product concerned. The  complaint contained evidence of dumping and injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European  Communities (2) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of hand-knitting yarn of man-made synthetic staple fibres put up for retail sale, falling within CN codes 5511 10 00 and 5511 20 00.
(2) The Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned and the Community producers. The parties concerned were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing, to request a hearing and to answer the  questionnaires addressed to them seeking the information the Commission deemed necessary for the assessment of dumping and injury. Several Community producers and exporters requested and were granted an extension of the time limit for replies set by the  Commission. However, the majority of the complaining Community producers did not reply to the questionnaire or supply the information requested by the Commission within the extended time limits.
(3) The Commission considers that the information made available by some Community producers is not representative of the Community industry within the meaning of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. As a result the allegations of injury  contained in the complaint could not be further investigated and verified. Therefore, the Commission considers that it is not possible to make a determination of injury or threat of injury with respect to the Community industry concerned.
B. TERMINATION OF PROCEEDING  (4) In view of the circumstances set out at points 2 and 3 the Commission concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain synthetic hand-knitting yarn, originating in Turkey, should be terminated  forthwith.
(5) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objection.
(6) The Committee of the Wool Textile Industry of the EEC was informed of the Commission's reasons for terminating the proceeding and did not comment,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of synthetic hand-knitting yarn falling within CN codes 5511 10 00 and 5511 20 00, originating in Turkey, is hereby terminated.
