COMMISSION DECISION of 3 December 1997 concerning a request for exemption submitted by the Netherlands 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 Dutch text is authentic) (97/840/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 97/27/EC (2), and in particular Article 8 (2) (c) thereof,
Whereas the request submitted by the Netherlands on 10 March 1997, which was received by the Commission on 13 March 1997, was accompanied by a report containing the information required by Article 8 (2) (c); whereas the request concerns two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamps;
Whereas the information provided by the Netherlands shows that the technology and principle embodied in these new types of gas discharge lamp and headlamp do not meet the requirements of Community regulations; whereas, however, the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that of the lamps and headlamps covered by the requirements of the Directives in force and, in particular, of Council Directive 76/761/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor-vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and to incandescent electric filament lamps for such headlamps (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/517/EEC (4);
Whereas these new types of gas discharge lamp and these new types of headlamp meet the requirements of UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulations Nos 7, 8, 98 and 99; whereas it is therefore justified to allow the four items covered by the request for exemption, i.e. the types of gas discharge lamp and the types of headlamp fitted with these types of lamp, to benefit from the granting of EC type-approval;
Whereas the Community directives concerned will be amended in order to enable gas discharge lamps embodying this new technology and headlamps fitted with such lamps to be placed on the market;
Whereas the measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The request submitted by the Netherlands for an exemption concerning two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp is hereby approved.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

(3) It is necessary to ensure that information concerning the vaccination against Newcastle disease is included in the health certificates foreseen for the intra-Community trade of poultry and hatching eggs.
(4) Directive 90/539/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

Annex IV to Directive 90/539/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply for live poultry and hatching eggs certified as from 1 January 2002.

COMMISSION DECISION of 8 October 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Environmental side scan recorder, model 259-4" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/848/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

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 10 April 1981, 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 "Environmental side scan recorder, model 259-4", to be used for the location and stability of sea floor material and in particular for the study on gravel deposits, sand waves and sites of importance, 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 9 July 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 a recorder;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "Environmental side scan recorder, model 259-4", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 10 April 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
