Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) It follows from Article 3(2) of Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 that Member States should transmit to the Commission the data and metadata required by the Regulation in accordance with a specified interchange standard and other practical arrangements which should be specified by the Commission.
(2) Applying a single standard for the exchange and transmission of data for the statistics covered by Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 would make a considerable contribution to business process integration in this statistical area.
(3) The Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) initiative on statistical and technical standards for the exchange and sharing of data and metadata was launched by the Bank of International Settlements, the European Central Bank, the Commission (Eurostat), the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations and the World Bank. For the exchange of official statistics, SDMX provides statistical and technical standards, including the SDMX Markup Language, using XML syntax (‘SDMX-ML format’). A new data format and data structure definition designed in accordance with this standard should therefore be introduced. In order to facilitate the transition to the new format, the Commission should, for the first two years after the entry into force of the Regulation, provide Member States with templates, which can be used as inputs to SDMX conversion tools.
(4) The Commission should make available detailed documentation in relation to the SDMX data structure definitions and supply guidelines on their implementation.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,
Standard for the transmission of data
Member States shall provide data required by the Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 using SDMX data structure definitions.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1403/1999

fixing, for the 1999/2000 marketing year, certain sugar prices and the standard quality of beet
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Articles 2(3), 3(4) and 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(4),
Whereas:
(1) When sugar prices are fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agriculture policy; the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to assure the availability of supplies and ensure that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;
(2) In order to attain these objectives, the target price for sugar must be fixed at a level which, taking into account in particular the resultant level of the intervention price, ensures a fair remuneration for beet and sugar cane producers while at the same time respecting consumers' interests, and which is likely to maintain a balance between the prices of the principal agricultural products;
(3) As a result of the characteristics of the sugar market, the risks involved in this trade are relatively slight; consequently, when the intervention price for sugar is being fixed, the difference between the target price and the intervention price may be fixed at a relatively low level;
(4) The basic price for beet must take account of the intervention price, revenue to undertakings as a result of the sale of molasses, which can be valued at EUR 7,61 per 100 kilograms, that amount being derived from the molasses price referred to in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, the latter being valued at EUR 8,21 per 100 kilograms, and of the costs of processing and delivering the beet to factories and be based on an estimated Community yield of 130 kilograms of white sugar per tonne of beet with a 16 % sugar content,
1. The target price for white sugar shall be EUR 66,50 per 100 kilograms.
2. The intervention price for white sugar shall be EUR 63,19 per 100 kilograms for the non-deficit areas of the Community.
The basic price applicable in the Community for beet shall be EUR 47,67 per tonne delivered at the collection centre.
Standard quality beet shall:
(a) be of sound, genuine and merchantable quality;
(b) have a sugar content of 16 % at the reception point.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall be applicable for the 1999/2000 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION  DECISION

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 September 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Perkin-Elmer - atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 4000', to be used for trace analysis methods and for the determination of toxic elements through atomic absorption, 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 4 February 1982 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 spectrophotometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the answer of the entire spectral field of the analysis 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, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'SPg' and 'SP 2900' manufactured by Pye Unicam Ltd, York Street, UK-Cambridge,
The apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - atomic absorption spectrophotometer, model 4000', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 7 September 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
