COMMISSION DECISION of 11 November 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Microspec wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometer, model WDX-210" may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/948/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 7 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 "Microspec wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometer, model WDX-210", to be used for research of metal surfaces and in particular for studies of ion implantation for corrosion resistance of oxide "glazes", of aluminium anodes for cathodic protection, of scale nucleation on heat transfer surfaces, 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 25 September 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 X-ray spectrometer ; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the very high spectrometrical reslution power 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community ; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as "Microspec wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometer, model WDX-210" which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 7 April 1981 may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1),

COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 1120/86
of 17 April 1986
repealing the definitive countervailing duty on imports of tube and pipe fittings of malleable cast iron originating in Spain
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 7 and 14 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultations within the Advisory Committee provided for in that Regulation,
Whereas the following is the case:
A. Definitive action
1. Regulation (EEC) No 706/84 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2901/85 (3), imposed a definitive countervailing duty on imports of tube and pipe fittings of malleable cast iron originating in Spain and falling within heading No ex 73.20 of the Common Customs Tariff corresponding to Nimexe code 73.20-30.
B. Review
2. In connection with the accession of Spain to the European Communities, the Spanish Government has introduced, with effect from 1 January 1986, a new turnover tax system based on value added (Impuesto sobre el Valor AĂąadido), which replaced the former cascade turnover tax system (Impuesto sobre el TrĂĄfico de las Empresas y Recargos Provinciales).
C. Repeal of definitive countervailing duty
3. It is considered that as a result of the application of the new tax mentioned in paragraph 2, the refund of the indirect taxes on export corresponds to the indirect taxes borne by the product when destined for domestic consumption and therefore does not, in accordance with Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, constitute a subsidy. Under these circumstances, the definitive countervailing duty is no longer appropriate and, consequently, Regulation (EEC) No 706/84 should be repealed with effect from 1 January 1986.
4. Under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 (5), importers are entitled to a refund of countervailing duties paid on goods released for free circulation in the Community since 1 January 1986,
Regulation (EEC) No 706/84 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply as from 1 January 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

The import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.
