COMMISSION DECISION  of 27 January 1992  terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of dihydrostreptomycin originating in Japan  (92/61/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee in accordance with the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. PROCEEDING
(1) In April 1990, the Commission received a complaint from the European Council of Chemical Manufacturers' Federations (Cefic) (hereinafter referred to as 'the complainant') on behalf of the only Community producer of dihydrostreptomycin (hereinafter  referred to as 'DHS') concerning imports of that product originating in the People's Republic of China and Japan.
(2) The complaint contained evidence of the existence of dumping and of the resulting material injury, which was sufficient to justify the opening of an investigation. The Commission therefore announced, in a notice published in the Offical Journal of  the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning the product in question, which falls within CN code 2941 20 10.
B. PROVISIONAL MEASURES
(3) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 2054/91 (3), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of dihydrostreptomycin (DHS) falling within CN code 2941 20 10 and originating in China. Furthermore, the validity of the provisional duty was  extended for a period not exceeding two months by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3091/91 (4).
(4) In recitals 31 to 35 of the provisional Regulation the Commission found that the imports of DHS from Japan had not caused or contributed to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
C. SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURE
(5) No reasoned arguments were put forward by either the Community industry or the exporter of DHS from China which has previously disputed the Commission's findings as set out in recitals 31 to 35 of the provisional Regulation in relation to the  exports of DHS originating in Japan.
D. TERMINATION
(6) Accordingly, it is apparent that protective measures with regard to Japan are unnecessary and the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of DHS originating in Japan should be terminated without measures being imposed.
(7) No objections to this conclusion were raised in the Advisory Committee.
(8) The complainant was informed of the essential facts and principal considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding concerning Japan and did not dispute them,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of dihydrostreptomycin originating in Japan is hereby terminated.

Whereas:
(1) The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) adopted in Geneva on 20 December 1996 under the auspices of the World Intellectual Property Organisation will help to ensure a balanced level of protection for works and other subject matter, while allowing the public access to material available via networks.
(2) The competence of the Community to conclude or accede to international agreements or treaties does not derive only from explicit conferral by the Treaty but may also derive from other provisions of the Treaty and from acts adopted pursuant to those provisions by Community institutions.
(3) The subject matter of the WCT and the WPPT falls to a large extent within the scope of existing Community directives in this field.
(4) It follows that the approval of the WCT and the WPPT is a matter for both the Community and its Member States.
(5) The WCT and the WPPT should therefore be approved on behalf of the Community with regard to matters within its competence.
(6) The Community has already signed the WCT and the WPPT, subject to final conclusion.
(7) The deposit of the instruments of conclusion of the Community should take place as far as possible simultaneously with the deposit of the instruments of ratification of the Member States,
1. The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) is hereby approved on behalf of the Community with regard to matters within its competence.
2. The WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) is hereby approved on behalf of the Community with regard to matters within its competence.

1. The Commission is hereby authorised to represent the Community at the meetings of the Assemblies referred to in the WCT and WPPT.
2. On all matters within the sphere of competence of the Community, the Commission shall negotiate in the Assemblies of the WCT and the WPPT on behalf of the Community in accordance with the applicable rules of the EC Treaty, in particular Article 300 thereof.
3. The position which the Community may adopt within the Assemblies shall be prepared by the relevant Council working party.

Whereas
(1) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 permits the addition of lysozyme to the wine products concerned.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000 of 24 July 2000 laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine and establishing a Community code of oenological practices and processes(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1655/2001(4), lays down, in particular, restrictions and requirements pertaining to the use of certain substances authorised by Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999. The maximum permissible doses of those substances are fixed in Annex IV.
(3) Experiments concerning the use of lysozyme in winemaking carried out by two Member States have shown that the addition of this substance is of significant benefit for the stabilisation of wines and permits the production of quality wines with a reduced sulphur dioxide content. Its use should therefore be permitted and maximum doses laid down in line with the technological requirements revealed in the experiments.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly to permit the use of lysozyme fulfilling the purity criteria laid down by Commission Directive 96/77/EC of 2 December 1996 laying down specific purity criteria on food additives other than colours and sweeteners(5), as last amended by Directive 2001/30/EC(6).

COMMISSION DECISION of 18 February 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "EG and GPAR-OMA 2 system" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/135/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 22 September 1980, the United Kingdom Government 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 "EG and GPAR-OMA 2 system", to be used for the electronic detection of very weak spectra and their processing, should be considered as 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 8 January 1981 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 optical multichannel detector;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "EG and GPAR-OMA 2 system", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom Government of 22 September 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
