COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1976/87 of 2 July 1987 laying down special measures applicable to raw tobacco of the 1987, 1988 and 1989 harvests of certain varieties
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1974/87 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13 (8) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas the Commission report provided for in Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 shows the quantity of the variety Burley EL from the 1985 harvest taken over by the intervention agencies to be substantially larger than both the quantity and  the percentage of production laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1469/70 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1578/86 (5); whereas the data available at present point to the risk that the quantities taken over by the intervention agencies for the 1986  harvest might exceed the quantities and the percentage of production laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1469/70;
Whereas it is necessary therefore to adopt special measures as provided for in Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70, and in particular to lower the intervention price for the variety; whereas in view of the need to rebalance the market the lower  price should apply to a number of consecutive harvests;
Whereas the action taken will reduce intervention expenditure and allow the level of the premium to be raised by way of compensation; whereas in consequence producers will be able to obtain the norm price for the quantities that can be disposed of  normally on the market,
The intervention price for tobacco of the 1987, 1988 and 1989 harvests of the variety Burley EL shall be lowered to 75 % of the corresponding norm price.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

of 22 December 2004
amending Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 203 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament,
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors (1),
Whereas:
(1) The accession of 10 new Member States took place on 1 May 2004.
(2) In addition, the possibility of further accessions should be taken into account.
(3) The Communities have granted loans and guaranteed loans to accession countries or for projects executed in those countries. Those loans and guarantees are currently covered by the Guarantee Fund and will remain outstanding or in force after the date of accession. From that date, they will cease to be external actions of the Communities and should therefore be covered directly by the general budget of the European Union and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.
(4) The European Investment Bank should inform the Commission of the amount of its outstanding operations under the Community guarantee in new Members States on the day of accession.
(5) The report prepared by the Commission in accordance with Article 9 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (2) concludes that it is not necessary to amend any parameters of the Guarantee Fund to take into account the enlargement of the European Union.
(6) In view of the amount of information needed for the annual report required by Article 7 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 and the complexity of the procedures to be accomplished before submission of the report, the time provided for its preparation should be extended.
(7) Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The Treaties provide for no powers, other than those in Article 308 of the EC Treaty and Article 203 of the Euratom Treaty, for the adoption of this Regulation,
Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, the following subparagraph shall be added:
2. The following Article shall be inserted:
3. In Article 7, the date ‘31 March’ shall be replaced by ‘31 May’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 May 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 643/2011
of 1 July 2011
amending Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 as regards import duties on sorghum and rye
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 143 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(4) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 of 20 July 2010 on rules of application (cereal sector import duties) for Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2) stipulates that the representative cif import price determined for barley shall be used for calculating import duties on sorghum and rye.
(2) Trends in the barley market and the minor importance of the United States on the world market for this product mean that barley no longer provides an estimate of the sorghum market. Furthermore, the sources of information on the sorghum market are too few or too unreliable to provide a basis for setting import duties for this product. Lastly, it appears from the sources available that the prices of sorghum and of maize exported from the United States are very close to one another. Consequently, the representative cif import price calculated for maize should be applied to sorghum. Furthermore, the existing equality between the duties that apply to rye and those that apply to sorghum should be maintained.
(3) Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 is amended as follows:
1. Article 5 shall be amended as follows:
(a) the introductory phrase of paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(b) paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:
2. Annex III is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1734/91 (2), and in particular Article 70 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 70 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 prohibits importation, into the Community, of wine originating in third countries other than liqueur or sparkling wine, for direct human consumption that has a total alcoholic strength by volume  of more than 15 %;
Whereas, under Article 70 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 3677/89 on the total alcoholic strength by volume and the total acidity of certain imported quality wines and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2931/80 (3),  as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2178/90 (4), waived this prohibition in the case of certain Hungarian wines; whereas the period of waiver expires on 31 August 1991; whereas, pending the possible conclusion of a wine sector agreement between the  Community and Hungary, the period of the said waiver should be extended for a year,
In Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3677/89 '31 August 1991' shall be replaced by '31 August 1992'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1988/94 of 27 July 1994 amending Regulation (EC) No 3637/93 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF  THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, for newsprint, the Community has reached an agreement which provides in particular for the opening of a Community tariff quota for 650 000 tonnes, of which 600 000 tonnes are reserved, until 30 November of each year, exclusively for products  from Canada, in accordance with Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; whereas this agreement provides equally for the obligation to increase, by 5 % that part of the quota reserved for imports from Canada, in the event that that  part is used up before the end of a given period of one year; whereas the quota of 650 000 tonnes was opened for 1994 by Council Regulation (EC) No 3637/93 (1);
Whereas the economic data at present available gives rise to the belief that the requirements for importing newsprint from Canada could reach at level higher than the said volume of 600 000 tonnes; whereas the volume of that part of the quota reserved  for these imports should be increased, therefore, by 30 000,
In Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 3637/93 the table regarding order No 09.0015 shall be replaced by the following table:
"" ID="1">09.0015> ID="2">4801 00 10> ID="3">Newsprint (1):> ID="4">from 1 January to 31 December 1994> ID="5">630 000 tonnes> ID="6">0'"> ID="3">- from Canada">

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION of 29 November 1995 on the equivalence of  seed potatoes produced in third countries (95/513/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes   (1), and in particular Article 15  (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas there are rules on the official control of seed potatoes in Switzerland;
Whereas the abovementioned rules provide that basic seed and certified seed potato may be  officially certified and their containers officially closed in accordance with the UNECE standard  for seed potatoes recommended by the Working Party on Standardization of Perishable Produce and  Quality Development of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations;
Whereas an examination of these rules and the manner in which they are applied in Switzerland have  shown that the conditions governing seed potatoes harvested and controlled in this country afford  the same assurances as regards their characteristics and the arrangements for their inspection, for  ensuring identity, for marking and for control, as do the conditions applicable to seed potatoes  harvested and controlled within the Community;
Whereas Decision 81/956/EEC  (2), which established equivalence for seed potato produced in  Switzerland, expired on 30 June 1995; whereas a new Decision is therefore necessary;
Whereas this Decision does not prevent Community findings from being revoked if it becomes apparent  that the conditions on which such findings are based are no longer fulfilled; whereas, to this end,  further practical information on seed potatoes produced in the abovementioned countries should be  obtained by growing and checking samples of such seed within the framework of the Community  comparative tests;
Whereas this Decision does not affect the requirements which Member States establish under Council  Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the  Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products  (3),
It is hereby declared that, where the conditions laid down in Part II  of the Annex hereto are satisfied, seed potatoes which are harvested in the country specified in  Part I of the Annex hereto and officially controlled by the Authorities listed therein and which  belong to the categories specified therein are equivalent to seed patatoes of corresponding  categories harvested within the Community and comply with Directive 66/403/EEC.
This Decision shall apply from 1 July 1995 to 30 June 2000.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 12 June 1984
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 5000' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(84/320/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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (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 2 December 1983, 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 5000', ordered on 15 June 1981 and intended to be used for trace analysis of heavy metals contained in organic and biological substances and in water, 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 14 May 1984 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 analyzer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the great precision of the spectral 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, 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 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 5000', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 2 December 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
