Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market(3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Due to outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in Greece, Commission Decision 2000/486/EC of 31 July 2000 concerning protection measures with regard to foot-and-mouth disease in Greece(4), as last amended by Decision 2000/643/EC(5), was adopted to reinforce the control measures taken by Greece.
(2) The Greek veterinary services informed the Commission that no new outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease was reported in Greece since 13 September 2000 and that the results of a serological survey carried out so far demonstrate that foot-and-mouth disease has been eradicated from Xanthi and Evros, and had never spread into Rodopi.

(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

COMMISSION DECISION  of 3 March 1980  refusing to accept the scientific character of the apparatus described as "Benthos boomerang corer, model 1890"  (80/327/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 28 September 1979, the United Kingdom Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure at present laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Benthos boomerang corer, model 1890", to be used for the study of Atlantic Ocean circulation, 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 5 February 1980 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question serves for taking sediment samples of the bottom of the sea ; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas apparatus of the same kind is principally used for the realization of 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,
The apparatus described as "Benthos boomerang corer, model 1890" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
