(2004/925/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the European Union, and in particular Article 13(3) and Article 28(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 23 February 2004, the Council adopted Decision 2004/197/CFSP (1) which provides that its first review shall take place before the end of 2004.

COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE 2014/71/EU
of 13 March 2014
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead in solder in one interface of large area stacked die elements
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, (1) and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.
(2) SDE (stacked die elements) detector technology is used in X-ray detectors of computed tomography (CT) and X-ray systems. It offers advantages for patients as it reduces the necessary X-ray dose exposure. Large area SDE detectors cannot yet be produced with lead-free solders. The substitution and the elimination of lead are therefore scientifically and technically impracticable for the above-mentioned applications.
(3) The use of lead in large area stacked die elements with more than 500 interconnects per interface used in X-ray detectors of CT and X-ray systems should therefore be exempted from the prohibition until 31 December 2019. In view of the innovation cycles of the medical devices and monitoring and control instruments sectors this is a relatively short transition period which is unlikely to have adverse impacts on innovation.
(4) In accordance with the repair-as-produced principle of Directive 2011/65/EU, which is meant to extend the lifetime of compliant products once placed on the market, spare parts shall benefit from this exemption past its end date without time limitations.
(5) Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by the last day of the sixth month after entry into force 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.
2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 100/1999 of 15 January 1999 laying down special measures derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 in the milk and milk products sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Article 17(4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1044/98 (4), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2184/98 (6), lays down special detailed rules of application for export refunds on milk and milk products;
Whereas the problems prevailing on the Russian market since the second half of August 1998 have seriously damaged the financial interests of certain exporters of cheese to Russia; whereas the situation thus created has adversely affected export opportunities under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1466/95;
Whereas to limit the adverse effects Commission Regulation (EC) No 2186/98 (7) extends the time limit laid down in the regulations applicable to refunds so that export operations which have not been completed on account of the abovementioned circumstances can be regularised or another outlet within the same zone can be found;
Whereas that measure has not achieved the desired aim and the difficulties on the Russian market persist; whereas it is therefore necessary to adopt provisions allowing for the export licences to be cancelled;
Whereas, in the light of developments, this Regulation should enter into force immediately;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
This Regulation shall apply to certain products falling within CN code 0406 for which export licences have been issued pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 containing the indication 'Russia` in box 7 in accordance with Article 1(2) of that Regulation.
On application by the holder submitted before 31 January 1999, the export licences referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2186/98 shall be cancelled and the security released.
Member States shall notify to the Commission the quantities of products covered by the measure referred to in Article 2 before 28 February 1999.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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.

Whereas:
(1) The representative prices and additional duties applicable to imports of white sugar, raw sugar and certain syrups for the 2010/11 marketing year are fixed by Commission Regulation (EU) No 867/2010 (3).

(82/803/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 7 April 1982, 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 'Extranuclear - Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, consisting of: Quadrupole Mass Filter, model 4-324-9, Electron Impact Ionizer, model 041-2, Ionizer Control, model 020-2, Quadrupole Power Supply, model 011-14 and High-Q-Head, model 012-10', ordered on 20 February 1980 and to be used for research in the field of radiation chemistry and in particular for research of atom-molecule reactions by means of a flow reactor, 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 21 September 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 mass spectrometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility 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 'Extranuclear - Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, consisting of: Quadrupole Mass Filter, model 4-324-9, Electron Impact Ionizer, model 041-2, Ionizer Control, model 020-2, Quadrupole Power Supply, model 011-14 and High-Q-Head, model 012-10', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 7 April 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
