Whereas:

This Decision has been modified by Decision 2003/477/EC(4) to revoke the systematic checks imposed to shrimps consignments certified after 21 September 2002. This modification was based on the results of the tests carried out by Member States and on the guarantees provided by the Thai competent authority.
(2) The results of the checks carried out by Member States in poultrymeat imported from Thailand have been favourable. Therefore, the systematic checks imposed by Decision 2002/251/EC on all poultrymeat consignments, should be reduced to 20 % for those consignments certified by the Thai authority after the date of 21 September 2002 as having been submitted to a systematic pre-shipment check.
(3) Decision 2002/251/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(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,
Article 2(1) of Decision 2002/251/EC is replaced by the following:
"1.

This test must be carried out, in particular, with a view to detecting the presence of antimicrobial substances and in particular nitrofurans and their metabolites."
This Decision shall apply from 1 August 2003.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 28 July 1993 derogating from High Authority recommendation No 1/64 concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (158th derogation)
(93/477/ECSC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 71 thereof,
Having regard to High Authority recommendation No 1/64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by  recommendation 88/27/ECSC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas certain iron and steel products indispensable to the manufacture of certain goods and having very special physical and chemical characteristics are not produced in the Community, or are produced in insufficient quantities; whereas for a number  of years insufficiency has been overcome by duty-free tariff quotas; whereas Community producers are still not in a position to comply with the present quality requirements put forward by the users; whereas a duty-free quota at a level securing the  supply of users is consequently required;
Whereas import of these products on preferential terms is not injurious to iron and steel undertakings in the Community which produce directly competing products;
Whereas neither this suspension of duties nor these tariff quotas are likely to jeopardize the objectives of recommendation No 1/64, but will help to maintain existing trade flows between Member States and non-member countries;
Whereas these are special cases in the commercial policy field justifying the authorization of derogations pursuant to Article 3 of recommendation No 1/64;
Whereas it is necessary to make sure that the tariff quota granted will have no other function than meeting the specific needs of certain transforming industries - the applicant ones in the Member State concerned - excluding any other firms in any other  Member State;
Whereas the Governments of the Member States have been consulted on the tariff quota set out below,
Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from the obligations arising pursuant to Article 1 of High Authority recommendation No 1/64 to the extent necessary to suspend at the levels indicated the customs duties on the products set out  below, within the tariff quota of the amounts indicated for the Member States concerned:
/* Tables: see OJ */
1. Member States accorded quotas pursuant to Article 1 shall ensure, in liaison with the Commission, that such quotas are apportioned among third countries on a non-discriminatory basis.
2. Community provisions on the matter shall apply for the purpose of verifying that the products in question are used for the particular purpose prescribed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
It shall apply from 1 January 1992 until 31 December 1993.

In fixing this maximum the criteria provided for in Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum reduction in the duty.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum reduction in the import duty being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For tenders notified from 21 to 27 January 2005, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 2277/2004, the maximum reduction in the duty on maize imported shall be 31,49 EUR/t and be valid for a total maximum quantity of 147 500 t.
