COMMISSION DECISION  of 24 September 1976  derogating from High Authority recommendation 1/64 concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (83rd derogation)  (76/790/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to High Authority recommendation 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), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas by the Agreement between the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Coal and Steel Community of the one part and the Portuguese Republic of the other part (2), signed on 22 July 1972, successive tariff reductions were laid down for products covered by the European Coal and Steel Community ; whereas the final reduction, reducing the duty to zero, was to take effect on 1 July 1977;
Whereas by Decision of 16 June 1976 (3), the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community decided to speed up the process of tariff dismantling provided for in the Agreement, so that products originating in Portugal would be admitted free of customs duty with effect from 1 July 1976;
Whereas the products affected include pig-iron, high carbon ferro-manganese and the iron and steel products falling within Chapter 73 of the Customs Tariff for which minimum duties were created by High Authority recommendation 1/64 and by the instruments amending it ; whereas, however, in special cases, such as where commercial policy or customs procedure so require, Article 3 of the recommendation authorizes derogations from the minimum rates such derogations to be made by Commission Decision, whereas such a special case of commercial policy arises from the adoption of autonomous Decisions favourably affecting the pattern of trade, such as the Decision referred to above,
Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from the obligations arising under High Authority recommendation 1/64 to the extent necessary to suspend import duties and charges having an effect equivalent to such duties or the levying of such duties and charges on iron and steel products originating ir Portugal.
This Decision shall apply with effect from 1 July 1976.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the instruments establishing common organization of agricultural markets and the instruments concerning processed agricultural products adopted in pursuance of Article 235 of the Treaty, in particular the provisions of those instruments which allow for derogation from the general rule that all quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect are replaced solely by the measures provided for in those instruments,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 288/82 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 3156/90 (2), refers, with regard to the description and codification of the products originating in third countries not liberalized within the Community and listed in Annex I thereto, to the Common Customs Tariff
nomenclature and the NIMEXE nomenclature; whereas
these two nomenclatures have been replaced by a new nomenclature known as Combined Nomenclature (CN), whose codes and product descriptions replace those contained in the first two nomenclature as from 1 January 1988; whereas Annex I to Regulation (EEC) N° 288/82 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) N° 288/82 is hereby replaced by the Annex attached to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
The applications for import licences lodged for the second quarter of 2002 are, in the case of some products, for quantities less than or equal to the quantities available and can therefore be met in full, but in the case of other products the said applications are for quantities greater than the quantities available and must therefore be reduced by a fixed percentage to ensure a fair distribution,

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 August 1981, Italy 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 - scattered transmission UV-VIS double-beam spectrophotometer, model 576', to be used for the study of cell cultures, 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 provisons of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 December 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 spectrophotometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the spectrophotometric field 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 'Perkin-Elmer - scattered transmission UV-VIS double-beam spectrophotometer, model 576', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 28 August 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
