Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2001/89/EC of 23 October 2001 on Community measures for the control of classical swine fever(1), and in particular Articles 16(1), 20(1), 25(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In April 2002 classical swine fever was confirmed in the feral pig population in North Rhine-Westphalia at the border with Rhineland-Pfalz in Germany.
(2) In accordance with Articles 16 and 20 of Directive 2001/89/EC, the German authorities have submitted plans for the eradication of classical swine fever and for the emergency vaccination of feral pigs in certain areas of North Rhine-Westphalia.
(3) The submitted plans have been approved by the Commission by means of Decision 2002/161/EC(2), amended by Decision 2002/531/EC(3).
(4) Due to the evolution of the disease in North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany has requested to apply the emergency vaccination plan also in certain areas which have recently been concerned by the disease.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to amend the Annex to Decision 2002/161/EC to include in this Annex the new areas of North Rhine-Westphalia where vaccination will be applied and those areas within which the evolution of the disease will probably be influenced by the vaccination. It is also appropriate to introduce minor corrections to the description of the vaccination area of Rheinland-Pfalz.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 2002/161/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2760/94 of 10 November 1994 adjusting, for the fourth time, the system of aid for cotton introduced by Protocol 4 annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular paragraph 11 of Protocol 4 on cotton,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87 of 2 July 1987 adjusting the system of aid for cotton introduced by Protocol 4 annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece (1), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87 provides that, with a view to avoiding excessive variations in the reduction of the norm price applied if the maximum guaranteed quantity is exceeded, the reduction shall be limited; whereas the said  reduction is limited to 20 % of the norm price from the 1994/95 marketing year, while the reduction for the 1993/94 marketing year was limited to 15 %;
Whereas, in order to prevent the increase in the said reduction limit from 15 % to 20 % having damaging repercussions for operators, the adjustment should be introduced progressively by applying an intermediate limit of 18,5 % for the 1994/95 marketing  year,
This Regulation provides for adjustments to the system of aid for the production of cotton provided for in paragraph 3 of Protocol 4 annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece and adjusted by Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87.
The second subparagraph of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87 shall be replaced by the following:
'However, without prejudice to the third subparagraph, if the reduction in the amount of aid exceeds 20 % of the norm price, this reduction shall be limited to 20 % for the marketing year concerned, except in the case of the 1994/95 marketing year, in  respect of which the two abovementioned percentages shall be 18,5 %. The reduction which exceeds these limits shall be carried over to the norm price for the following marketing year within the limit of 7 %.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the 1994/95 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 545/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 565/2002 of 2 April 2002 establishing the method for managing the tariff quotas and introducing a system of certificates of origin for garlic imported from third countries(3), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:

COMMISSION DECISION of 24 July 1981 amending for the sixth time Decision 78/360/EEC authorizing several Member States to sell butter at a reduced price in the form of concentrated butter (Only the German text is authentic) (81/641/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 985/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in butter and cream (2), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 7a thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 649/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3474/80 (4), provides that the Member States may be authorized to sell butter at a reduced price from public storage or to grant aid in respect of butter from private storage for the purpose of its release for direct consumption as concentrated butter;
Whereas several Member States were authorized by Commission Decision 78/360/EEC (5), as last amended by Decision 81/125/EEC (6), to sell butter at a reduced price in the form of concentrated butter ; whereas the Federal Republic of Germany has requested authorization to sell a further quantity of 1 250 tonnes of butter in order to continue the operation ; whereas the said Member State is in a position to guarantee that the butter in question will reach its prescribed destination ; whereas it is necessary to accede to this request, and accordingly to amend the said Decision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
In Article 1 (2) of Decision 78/360/EEC, the quantity of 15 000 tonnes shown for the Federal Republic of Germany is replaced by the quantity of 16 250 tonnes.

COMMISSION DECISION  of 23 September 1966  on the aid instituted by the Government of the French Republic for the purchase of aircraft  (Only the French text is authentic)  (66/556/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof;
Whereas Decree No 54-109 of 28 January 1954, as several times amended, lays down the conditions for granting subsidies for the purchase of aircraft ; whereas this aid, which existed before the entry force of the Treaty, was reviewed in accordance with Article 93 (1) of the Treaty and consequently amended by Decree No 64-341 of 16 April 1964;
Whereas, however, as regards gliders only, that Decree retained it as a condition for the grant by the State of non-reimbursable aid that the gliders should have been built in France;
Whereas the total amount of the subsidies for the purchase of gliders is between 30 % and 80 % of the price of the craft (taxes and duties included), depending on the type of glider and the category of purchaser ; whereas, although the subsidy for accessory equipment is granted without regard to the origin of the goods, this is of minor importance compared with the subsidy granted in respect of the glider itself;
Whereas this aid encourages users, in particular recognized associations, to purchase gliders built in France in preference to those manufactured in other Member States ; whereas whatever appropriations the French budget provides for, the purposes tend to distort competition by favouring the French production of gliders ; whereas, moreover, it has given rise to a complaint to the Commission on the part of another Member State;
Whereas, therefore, the aid falls under Article 92 (1) of the Treaty;
Whereas the provisions of Article 92 (2) of the Treaty clearly do not apply to this case;
Whereas the French Government has neither asked for any one of the provisions of Article 92 (3) of the Treaty to be applied, nor supplied the information required by the Commission for such purpose;
Whereas, therefore, the discriminatory nature of the aid instituted by the Decree of 28 January 1954, as amended in particular in 1964, renders it incompatible with the common market.
The French Republic shall, before 23 December 1966, take the necessary measures either to abolish the aid for the purchase of gliders instituted by Decree No 54-109 of 28 January 1954, as amended in particular by Decree No 64-341 of 16 April 1964, or so to amend it that the aid is granted to purchasers on the same terms for gliders built in other Member States as for gliders built in France.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.
COUNCIL DECISION of 23 July 1996 authorizing the Portuguese Republic to extend until 7 March 1997 the Agreement on mutual fishery relations with the Republic of South Africa (96/481/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 354 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Agreement on mutual fishery relations between the Government of the Portuguese Republic and the Government of the Republic of South Africa, signed on 9 April 1979, entered into force on that day for an initial period of 10 years; whereas the Agreement remains in force for an indeterminate period if it is not denounced by the giving of 12 months' notice;
Whereas Article 354 (2) of the Act of Accession lays down that the rights and obligations resulting from the fisheries agreements concluded by the Portuguese Republic with third countries shall not be affected during the period for which the provisions of such agreements are provisionally maintained;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 354 (3) of the said Act, the Council is to adopt, before the expiry of the fisheries agreements concluded by the Portuguese Republic with third countries, decisions appropriate for the continuation of fishing activities resulting therefrom, including the possibility of prolonging for periods not exceeding one year; whereas the abovementioned Agreement has been extended until 7 March 1996 (1);
Whereas, in order to avoid fishing by the Community vessels concerned being interrupted, it appears appropriate to authorize the Portuguese Republic to renew the Agreement in question until 7 March 1997,
The Portuguese Republic is hereby authorized to extend until 7 March 1997 the Agreement on mutual fishery relations with the Republic of South Africa which entered into force on 9 April 1979.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 16 August 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Farrand - Spectrofluorometer, model MK 2' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/614/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 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 16 February 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Farrand - Spectrofluorometer, model MK 2', ordered 15 July 1978 and to be used for the analysis of catecholamines in the blood of pigs and for the examination of the relationship between the catechol amine level and post-mortem glyco-genolysis, 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 15 July 1982 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 spectrofluorometer, whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the sensibility of the analysis, 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 'JY3C', manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, 91160 Longjumeau, France,
The apparatus described as 'Farrand - Spectrofluorometer, model MK 2', which is subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 16 February 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas a Community veterinary inspection will soon be conducted of such establishments in Slovenia;
Whereas, following the adoption of Commission Decision 92/377/EEC of 2 July 1992 concerning animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from the Republic of Slovenia (3), imports of fresh pigmeat from that country are  no longer authorized;
Whereas, however, in accordance with Commission Decision 92/447/EEC of 30 July 1992, amending Commission Decision 91/449/EEC laying down the specimen animal health certificates in respect of meat products imported from third countries (4), imports of  pigmeat products which have undergone treatment as provided for in that Decision are authorized; whereas, as a consequence, such products must be manufactured from pigmeat obtained in approved establishments;
Whereas imports of fresh meat from establishments appearing on the list in the Annex hereto continue to be subject to provisions already laid down, the general provisions of the Treaty and in particular other Community veterinary regulations,  particularly as regards health protection;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. The establishments in the Republic of Slovenia listed in the Annex are hereby approved for the purposes of exporting fresh meat to the Community.
2. Imports from those establishments shall remain subject to the Community veterinary provisions laid down elsewhere, and in particular those concerning health protection.
