COMMISSION  DECISION
of 27 September 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Spectra Physics - High-Power Single-Frequency Dye Laser, model 380 A' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/689/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 25 February 1982, Italy 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 'Spectra Physics - High-Power Single-Frequency Dye Laser, model 380A', ordered on 3 October 1979 and to be used for atomic and molecular research using high-resolution optical 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 15 July 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 dye laser; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the frequence stability 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 'Spectra Physics - High-Power Single-Frequency Dye Laser, model 380 A', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 25 February 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/82/EC
of 30 July 2008
amending Directive 2008/38/EC as regards feedingstuffs intended for the support of the renal function in case of chronic renal insufficiency
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/74/EEC of 13 September 1993 on feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes (1), and in particular Article 6(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 2008/38/EC of 5 March 2008 establishing a list of intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes (2) includes as a particular nutritional purpose the ‘support of renal function in case of chronic renal insufficiency’.
(2) By Regulation (EC) No 163/2008 (3), the Commission authorised the preparation lanthanum carbonate octahydrate as a zootechnical feed additive for cats. This authorisation was based on an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority of 18 September 2007 (4). In that opinion that Authority considered that supplementation of diets with that preparation results in a decrease in phosphorus excretion via urine and an increase in its excretion via faeces, linked to a decrease in apparent phosphorus digestibility. It concluded that that preparation can reduce the phosphorus absorption of adult cats.
(3) Directive 2008/38/EC already includes feed with a low level of phosphorus in the line ‘support of renal function in case of chronic renal insufficiency’. The same positive effect can be obtained if the absorption of phosphorus contained in the feed is reduced. Lanthanum carbonate octahydrate should therefore be included in the line ‘Support of renal function in case of chronic renal insufficiency’ in the list of intended uses in Part B of the Annex I to Directive 2008/38/EC.
(4) Directive 2008/38/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex I to Directive 2008/38/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 20 February 2009 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
