(82/291/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 5 October 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Quanta Ray - Nd: YAG Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A, with Pulsed Dye Laser, model PDL-1', to be used in the fringe areas of atomic and molecular spectroscopy, 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 22 March 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 laser;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the spectrum of the emissions 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 'YG 482', manufactured by Quantel, 17, avenue de l'Atlantique, F-91941 Les-Ulis-Orsay Cedex,
The apparatus described as 'Quanta Ray - Nd: YAG Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A, with Pulsed Dye Laser, model PDL-1', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 5 October 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 532/2000
of 10 March 2000
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 658/96 on certain conditions for granting compensatory payments under the support system for producers of certain arable crops
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1624/98(2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 658/96(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 610/1999(4), establishes the rules for applying Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 as regards the conditions for granting compensatory payments for certain arable crops. Article 3(1)(c) stipulates that the arable crop must be maintained in normal growth conditions until at least the beginning of the flowering period.
(2) During May 1999 certain Community regions were hit by flooding thus preventing them from complying with the above condition.
(3) Since non-compliance with the condition was due to circumstances beyond the control of those concerned, it would not be appropriate to refuse to grant compensatory payments for the flooded land. It is therefore necessary to derogate from Regulation (EC) No 658/96 under certain conditions.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Meeting of Management Committees for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,
For the 1999/2000 marketing year and by derogation from Article 3(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 658/96, land sown to arable crops and declared flooded in the regions listed in the Annex to this Regulation shall remain eligible for the compensatory payments laid down for non-irrigated crops provided that that land remained unused during the normal flowering period of the damaged crop.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to compensatory payments for the 1999/2000 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 29 July 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Bomem - Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer, model DA 3-02' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/409/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 1 February 1983, France 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 'Bomem - Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer, model DA 3-02', ordered in April 1982 and intended to be used for research on the dynamics of the hydrogen bond and in particular for the study of the form taken by the lines of the very intense hydrogen elongation bands in these bonds in the gaseous, liquid and crystalline phases, 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 22 June 1983 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 spectrometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the response of the spectrum 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 'Bomem - Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer, model DA 3-02' which is the subject of an application by France of 1 February 1983 may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(5) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) It follows from applying the detailed rules set out above to the present situation on the market in cereals, and in particular to quotations or prices for these products within the Community and on the world market, that the refunds should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
