COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 4 August 2014
amending Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC as regards the entry for Kuwait in the list of third countries and parts thereof from which the importation into the Union of live equidae and semen, ova and embryos of the equine species is authorised
(notified under document C(2014) 5440)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/523/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular Article 17(3)(a) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2009/156/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing the movement and importation from third countries of equidae (2), and in particular Article 12(1) and (4), the introductory phrase of Article 19 and points (a) and (b) of Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2009/156/EC lays down animal health conditions for the importation into the Union of live equidae. It provides, amongst others, that imports of equidae into the Union are only authorised from third countries which have been free for six months from glanders.
(2) Commission Decision 2004/211/EC (3) establishes a list of third countries and parts of territories thereof from which Member States are to authorise the temporary admission of registered horses, the re-entry of registered horses after temporary export and the imports of registered equidae and equidae for breeding and production and sets out the conditions for the importation of equidae from third countries.
(3) Following the detection of glanders in Kuwait in 2010 the Commission, by adopting Commission Decision 2010/776/EU (4), suspended the importation of registered horses from Kuwait. Kuwait has now submitted information demonstrating that the disease was successfully eradicated and that since the last case was confirmed on 19 December 2010 ongoing surveillance in the entire equine population has not revealed new cases.
(4) Because more than six months have elapsed after the last case of glanders in Kuwait, it is appropriate to authorise the temporary admission, re-entry after temporary export and imports of registered horses from that country. Therefore, the entry for Kuwait in Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC should be amended accordingly.
(5) Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
In Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC the entry for Kuwait is replaced by the following:
‘KW Kuwait KW-0 Whole country E X X X — — — — — —’

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2425/97 of 4 December 1997 amending Regulation (EC) No 1959/97 concerning the stopping of fishing for horse mackerel by vessels flying the flag of a Member State except Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, Ireland and the Netherlands

Whereas the present state of uptake of the horse mackerel quota allocated to Portugal in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, VII, VIII a, b, d and e, XII and XIV means that the quota transfer in question may be made;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1959/97 should therefore be amended,
Regulation (EC) No 1959/97 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in the title, after '. . . Portugal`, 'Denmark` is inserted;
2. the second paragraph of Article 1, after '. . . Portugal`, 'Denmark` is inserted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed.
(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 April 2006, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 1059/2005, the maximum refund on exportation of common wheat shall be 5,00 EUR/t.

Commission Decision
of 6 July 1981
establishing that the apparatus described as "Perkin Elmer differential scanning calorimeter, DSC-2C" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(81/551/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 21 January 1981, 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 "Perkin Elmer differential scanning calorimeter, DSC-2C", to be used for the determination of the specific heat and the transition entropy of materials which have ferroelectric and other structural phase transition, and also in the study of properties of metallic glasses, for the determination of the temperature of crystallization and heat of crystallization of these materials, 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 28 April 1981 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 calorimeter;
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 "Perkin Elmer differential scanning calorimeter, DSC-2C", which is the subject of an application by Germany of 21 January 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
