COMMISSION DECISION  of 25 January 1980  refusing to accept the scientific character of the apparatus described as "NNSS-Satellite Timing Receiver, model T 200"  (80/207/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 14 June 1979, the Government of Italy requested the Commission to invoke the procedure at present laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "NNSS-Satellite Timing Receiver, model T 200", to be used for the determination of universal time, 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 15 November 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a receiver of signals transmitted by a satellite ; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for the realization of 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,
The apparatus described as "NNSS-Satellite Timing Receiver, model T 200", is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3808/89 (4), does not provide for the possibility of granting aid to producers for experimental strains;
Whereas the continuing development of new varieties is essential for the hop sector; whereas the areas at the disposal of research institutes for testing experimental strains are limited, especially when these strains are in an advanced stage of breeding development; whereas results on a larger scale would be desirable;
Whereas the allocation of producers' land for testing of experimental strains in their final stages of breeding development would allow for testing on a larger scale; whereas this would not only provide research institutes with valuable results but also give an initial indication of market acceptance of the experimental strains;
Whereas producers who are prepared to cooperate on their land with research institutes should not suffer from the disadvantage of losing their eligibility for production aid in respect of the area in question;
Whereas the period, as well as the total surface per Member State, for which production aid is granted for areas cultivated with experimental strains should be limited,
The following Article is hereby inserted in Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71:
'Article 12a
Without prejudice to Article 12 (3), aid may also be granted for experimental strains which are in an advanced stage of breeding development for a maximum period of five years, provided that such varieties are cultivated by a producer under the supervision of a research institute.
The amount of the aid shall be fixed in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 12 (7) and in no case shall be greater than the amount of aid fixed for group 3 "others".
The aid shall be granted for an area not exceeding 1 % of a Member State's total area under hops. In cases where 1 % of a Member State's total area under hops is less than 10 hectares, the aid shall be granted for a maximum of 10 hectares per Member State.
Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 20.'
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.

Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 29 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2192/82 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2659/82 (4), provided that for peas and field beans used in the feeding of animals, containing more than 10 % of skins or skinned seeds, whether or not broken, aid was payable in respect of the weight corresponding to that of the standard quality, less the percentage in excess of 10 %; whereas, in the light of experience, and in order to ensure uniform application of the aid system, that provision was deleted with effect from 11 December 1982 by Regulation (EEC) No 3322/82 (5);
Whereas close scrutiny of the facts has shown that the reasons for deleting the said provision were already present on 1 August 1982, the date on which Regulation (EEC) No 2192/82 became applicable; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3322/82 should therefore be amended in such a way as to delete the said provision as from 1 August 1982;
Whereas the drafting of Regulation (EEC) No 2192/82 was lacking in precision in respect of a number of points and was corrected by Regulation (EEC) No 3322/82; whereas those corrections should also apply as from the date of application of Regulation (EEC) No 2192/82;

Whereas:
(1) To maintain the sum of two areas allocated to the two uses of cotton leads to a lack of data or to estimated data, or to a double count. Therefore, it is necessary to select only one area.
