THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2004/416/EC (2) laid down temporary emergency measures aimed at providing strengthened prevention of the entry of harmful organisms, and in particular of Guignardia citricarpa Kiely and Xanthomonas campestris in respect of fruits of Citrus L., Fortunella Swingle, Poncirus Raf., and their hybrids, originating in Argentina or Brazil.
(2) On the basis of the assessment by the Food and Veterinary Office in 2004 and 2005 in Argentina and Brazil, information from detailed technical reports on the results of plant health checks carried out in 2004, 2005 and 2006 by Member States on those citrus fruits imported from Argentina and Brazil and additional information provided by Argentina in 2006 and 2007 on the traceability system and the official operators’ register established in Argentina in the citrus fruits exporting sector, it has become apparent that the temporary emergency measures are no longer necessary in respect of Argentina.
(3) The effect of the temporary emergency measures concerned was evaluated by the Standing Committee on Plant Health on several occasions during 2005, 2006 and 2007. It was recommended that the temporary emergency measures should no longer apply to citrus fruits originating in Argentina, but should, however, remain in force in respect of those citrus fruits originating in Brazil.
(4) Decision 2004/416/EC should, therefore, be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2004/416/EC is amended as follows:
1. in the title, the words ‘Argentina or’ are deleted;

COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 229/87

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commision,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 11 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3666/86 (3), specifies that intervention agencies may sell sugar only at a price which is higher than the intervention price unless it is to be exported either in the natural state or after processing or is to be sued for animal feeding;
Whereas this rule prevents the disposal of sugar to charitable organizations for use for human consumption in the Community; whereas provision should therefore be made for such a possibility in the case of individual emergency aid operations assuring the availability of supplies and thus representing at the same time a humanitarian operation;
Whereas such operations are effective only if rapidly implemented; whereas provision should therefore be made for the most appropriate procedure to be sued in such instances,
Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following paragraph is added to Article 11:
'1a. It may however be decided, paragraph 1 notwithstanding, that intervention agencies shall, with a view to its distribution free of charge, make sugar in the natural state held by them available to charitable organizations - recognized by the Member State concerned or, if no recognition has been granted in that Member State to such organizations, by the Commission - actively involved in individual emergency aid operations, at a price which is lower than the intervention price or free of charge for human consumption on the internal market of the Community.';
2. Article 11 (3) shall be replaced by the following:
'3. Detailed rules for the application of this Article and the decision to make sugar available as specified in paragraph 1a shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 41.'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 of 26 October 1971 on common organisation of the market in seeds (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and Regulation (EC) No 192/98 (2), and in particular Article 3(5) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1203/97 (4), listed the varieties of Lolium perenne L. of high persistence, late or medium late, and of Lolium perenne L. of low persistence, medium late, medium early or early, within the meaning of the provisions adopted pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71;
Whereas, since the last amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76, certified seed of certain varieties of Lolium perenne L. is no longer marketed, while certified seed of other varieties has appeared on the market and will be marketed for the first time during the 1998/99 marketing year; whereas, furthermore, the application of the classification criteria to certain varieties of Lolium perenne L. results in their inclusion in one of the abovementioned lists; whereas the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76 should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Seeds,
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76 are hereby replaced by the Annexes to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1998.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 5 October 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Varian - Gas Chromatography System, model Vista 44' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/506/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES

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 31 March 1983, Belgium 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 'Varian - Gas Chromatography System, model Vista 44', ordered on 20 January 1981 and intended to be used in research relating to in vitro enzymatic reactions and for the analysis of synthetic substances, 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 23 September 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 chromatographic system; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision of the analysis, 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, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'Chromatograph SĂŠrie 130' combined with the 'IntĂŠgrateur ICR-1B', manufactured by Intersmat BP 25, F-77181 Courtry,
The apparatus described as 'Varian - Gas Chromatography System, model Vista 44', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 31 March 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
