THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2004/614/EC of 24 August 2004 concerning protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in the Republic of South Africa (3) the Commission adopted protection measures in relation to avian influenza in ratite flocks in South Africa.

(3) Under the circumstances it is appropriate to prolong the application of Decision 2004/614/EC for another six months. That Decision may, however, be reviewed before the end of the six-month period depending on any further information supplied by South Africa.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Article 7 of Decision 2004/614/EC, the date ‘30 June 2005’ is replaced by the date ‘31 December 2005’.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 6 August 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'B & H - Ultra Broadbandamplifier, model AC-3011' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/590/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 4 February 1982, the 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 'B & H - Ultra Broadbandamplifier, model AC-3011', ordered on 6 December 1979 and to be used for the research into piezo profiles by means of wideband ultrasound excitation, 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 16 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 an amplifier; 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 'B & H - Ultra Broadbandamplifier, model AC-3011', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 4 February 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2282/86

fixing the weighting coefficients to be used in calculating the Community market price for pig carcases and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 3430/85
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1475/86 (2), and in particular Article 4 (6) thereof,
Whereas the Community market price for pig carcases, as referred to in Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75, must be established by weighting the prices recorded in each Member State by coefficients expressing the relative size of the pig population of each Member State; whereas these coefficients should be determined on the basis of the number of pigs counted at the beginning of December each year in accordance with Council Directive 76/630/EEC of 20 July 1976 concerning surveys of pig production to be made by the Member States (3), as last amended by Directive 86/83/EEC (4);
Whereas, in view of the results of the census of December 1985 the weighting coefficients fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3430/85 (5) should be adjusted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The weighting coefficients referred to in Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 shall be as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 695/2005
of 26 April 2005
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) For intervention operations for which a unit amount has not been set by market organisation rules, basic Community financing rules have been set by Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 (2), in particular as to the method of establishing the amounts to be financed, the financing of expenditure resulting from tying up the funds needed for intervention purchasing, the valuation of stocks to be carried over from one year to another and the financing of expenditure resulting from the physical operations of storage.
(2) Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 provides that the interest charges incurred by Member States for the purchase of intervention products are to be financed by the Community according to a uniform method and a uniform interest rate.
(3) It may appear that in a Member State the buying into public intervention of agricultural products can be financed only at interest rates which are substantially higher than the uniform interest rate.
(4) Where the difference between interest rates is more than twice the uniform interest rate for a given Member State, provision should be made for a correcting mechanism to be applied. That difference should nevertheless be partially borne by the Member State concerned in order to encourage it to seek the least costly financing method.
(5) Application of this mechanism should be temporary and, consequently, be carried out during the financial years 2005 and 2006. It should apply from the beginning of the current financial year,
The third subparagraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 is hereby replaced by the following:
‘By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, if the interest rate borne by a Member State is more than twice the uniform interest rate, the Commission may, for the financial years 2005 and 2006, in financing the interest costs incurred by that Member State, cover the amount which corresponds to the uniform rate of interest plus the difference between double that rate and the actual rate borne by the Member State.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to expenditure incurred from 1 October 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas this examination has shown that there is a risk that the imports set out in the Annex hereto are worsening or prolonging the existing economic difficulties; whereas, therefore, Denmark should be authorized to make these imports subject to intra-Community surveillance until 31 December 1988,
The Kingdom of Denmark is authorized to introduce, until 31 December 1988 and in accordance with Decision 80/47/EEC, intra-Community surveillance of the products set out in the Annex hereto.
