Whereas, by Commission Decision 82/314/EEC of 5 May 1982 (3), the Commission decided that the apparatus described as 'PAR - Vibrating Sample Magnetometer, model 155' could not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties because it had been established that apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, were being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applied, in particular, to the apparatus 'Magnetic susceptibility system comprising a PAR - balance' manufactured by Oxford Instruments Co. Ltd, Osney Maid, Oxford OX2 ODX, United Kingdom;
Whereas the abovementioned Decision was taken after consulting the group of experts provided for in the Community rules; whereas, in view of fresh information which has been brought to the knowledge of the abovementioned group, it is now clear that on the date on which the abovementioned 'PAR - Vibrating Sample Magnetometer, model 155' was ordered, apparatus capable of being used for the same purposes and in particular the 'Magnetic susceptibility system comprising a PAR - balance' were not manufactured in the Community; whereas it was therefor justifiable to admit the apparatus described as 'PAR - Vibrating Sample Magnetometer, model 155' free of duty;

1. The apparatus described as 'PAR - Vibrating Sample Magnetometer, model 155', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany dated 29 October 1981, may be imported free of import duties.

Whereas:
(1) During 1999 and 2000 Italy has experienced outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H7N1 with devastating economic losses for the poultry industry. Prior to the epidemic a virus of low pathogenicity had been circulating in the area.
(2) During monitoring for avian influenza the presence of low pathogenic avian influenza virus of subtype H7N3 was detected in the regions of Veneto and Lombardia in October 2002.
(3) In order to control the spread of infection with low pathogenic avian influenza virus the Commission has approved a vaccination programme by Commission Decision 2002/975/EC(6).
(4) The results of the vaccination programme reported at several meetings of the Standing Committees on the Food Chain and Animal Health are generally favourable in view of the control of the disease within the vaccination zone. However, the infection has spread to some areas adjacent to the established vaccination zone.
(5) The vaccination zone should therefore be extended to cover areas at risk for the propagation of the virus while the stringent monitoring measures and trade restrictions are applied accordingly.
(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,
In Decision 2002/975/EC Annex I shall be replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
