COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 340/77  of 14 February 1977  amending Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69 laying down special measures for improving the production and marketing of Community citrus fruit
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69 of 9 December 1969 laying down special measures for improving the production and marketing of Community citrus fruit (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 793/76 (3), provides for additional aid to small growers to offset part of the loss of income entailed by replanting;
Whereas experience has shown that the conditions for granting this additional aid unduly limit the number of its recipients;
Whereas in order to take better account of the special situation of holdings in certain regions of the Community and of agricultural incomes compared with the trend of non-agricultural incomes and to enable certain growers with low incomes to receive aid, the conditions for granting this additional aid should be relaxed,
The first subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69 is hereby amended to read as follows:
"The aid referred to in Article 1 (2) shall be paid to growers for whom oranges and mandarins are their main crop, on condition that:    - the income derived from their holding does not exceed the income derived from four hectares of orange and mandarin trees,
- at least 40 % of the area used for growing orange and mandarin trees is replanted at one time,
- an area of at least 20 ares is replanted."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION DECISION of 14 May 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Andrew-Telesat TCTS 8-meter antenna, with electrospace-93C-ID mini tracking control system", may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/375/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 28 November 1980, the Netherlands 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 "Andrew-Telesat TCTS 8-meter antenna, with electrospace-93C-ID mini tracking control system", to be used for the development of propagation models for telecommunications purposes, 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 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 antenna;
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 "Andrew-Telesat TCTS 8-meter antenna, with electrospace-93C-ID mini tracking control system", which is the subject of an application by the Netherlands of 28 November 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Article 2 (1) (g) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 84/93 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3477/93 (3), provides that producers may withdraw from membership of a producer group after one year; whereas there are groups of tobacco  producers which were set up well before the entry into force of the new common market organization which have in some cases provided for longer minimum membership periods in order to guarantee the group a more stable membership and the best possible  operating conditions; whereas these groups should be allowed to maintain existing conditions unaltered;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 84/93, Member States must forward to the Commission draft decisions on recognition of groups; whereas verification of the draft decisions forwarded by Member States to the Commission  constitutes a very heavy administrative burden; whereas, on the basis of the Commission's observations to date, the Member States have the information necessary for the correct application of Community provisions; whereas, therefore, the prior  verification of draft decisions by the Commission is no longer indispensable and may be replaced by an examination as part of the Commission's general monitoring tasks;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the market situation for milk and milk products continues to be precarious; whereas the persistent decline in butter consumption in the Community causes continuing problems on the butter market; whereas the constant rise in the fat content of  milk further aggravates the situation; whereas the reduction in the intervention price for butter should be marked by an additional 1 % reduction in order to improve the competitive position of butter and milk fats, encourage their consumption and alter  the upward trend in the fat content of milk; whereas it is necessary to fix accordingly the target price for milk and amend Regulation (EEC) No 2072/92 (3);
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1880/94 of 27 July 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (4) abolishes buying in in respect of Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses; whereas  the intervention prices for those cheeses should accordingly be rescinded,
