Whereas:
The Budget Authority has agreed to support the rehabilitation and reconstruction needs in the earthquake/tsunami affected countries (mainly Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Maldives) for a total amount of EUR 350 million, of which EUR 170 million in 2005; part of the required response will be delivered by redefining indicative and not yet committed programmes for the region in agreement with the governments concerned (EUR 60 million), by recourse to the Rapid Reaction Mechanism (EUR 12 million) and by the mobilisation of the emergency reserve (EUR 70 million). Since the ceiling for heading 4 ‘External actions’ is already exceeded by EUR 100 million in 2005, and all possibilities for reallocating appropriations under this heading have been examined, EUR 15 million will be financed by an additional deployment of the flexibility instrument,
For the amending budget No 3/2005 to the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2005, the flexibility instrument shall be used to provide the sum of EUR 15 000 000 in commitment appropriations.
This amount shall be used for the financing of aid for rehabilitation and reconstruction of the earthquake/tsunami affected countries in Asia, covered by heading 4 ‘External actions’ of the financial perspective, under Article 19 10 04 ‘Rehabilitation and reconstruction operations in developing countries in Asia’ of the 2005 budget.

(5) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the infected territories for African swine fever in Poland.
(6) Accordingly, the infected territories in Poland should be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC.

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 23 November 1982, France 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 'Lumonics - Multigas Laser, model TEA-203-2' ordered on 23 September 1982 and intended to be used in the framework of the research in using the light energy of a laser as a means of utilizing electrical energy with optimum efficiency, 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 March 1983 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 laser;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the particularity of the spectrum of the impulse, 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 'Lumonics - Multigas Laser, model TEA-203-2', which is the subject of an application by France of 23 November 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Council Regulation (EC) No 2322/2003
of 17 December 2003
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards the set-aside requirement for the 2004/05 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 36 and 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) The support system for producers of certain arable crops introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999(1), provides that, in order to qualify for area payments, producers are to set aside a certain proportion of their arable land.
(2) The cereals market in the Community during the 2003/04 marketing year is characterised by low production due to severe drought in main production regions of the Community. This situation is expected to cause a significant reduction in closing stocks for 2003/04 on the Community market. A normal 2004 harvest would not be expected to lead to a significant increase in stocks. A poor harvest would expose the internal market to potentially serious risks.
(3) For the 2004/05 marketing year, the rate for set-aside should therefore be fixed at a lower level than that set out in the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999,
By way of derogation from the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999, the basic rate of compulsory set-aside shall be 5 % for the 2004/05 marketing year.
1. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. It shall apply to set-aside for the 2004/05 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
