COUNCIL DECISION
of 14 June 2004
amending Decision 98/20/EC authorising the Kingdom of the Netherlands to apply a measure derogating from Article 21 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(2004/516/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 27(1) of the Sixth VAT Directive, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce or extend special measures for derogation from that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance.
(2) By letter registered with the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 26 November 2003, the Dutch Government requested the extension of Decision 98/20/EC (2) authorising it to apply special tax measures to the ready-to-wear clothing industry.
(3) The other Member States were informed of the Netherlands’ request on 14 January 2004.
(4) Decision 98/20/EC, authorised the Kingdom of the Netherlands to introduce in the ready-to-wear clothing industry a scheme for shifting the subcontractor’s obligation to pay over VAT to the tax authorities from the subcontractor to the clothing firm (the contractor).
(5) These arrangements constitute an effective fraud-prevention measure in a sector in which collecting VAT is rendered awkward by the difficulty of identifying and supervising the activities of subcontractors.
(6) On 7 June 2000 the Commission published a strategy to improve the operation of the VAT system in the short term, in which it undertook to rationalise the large number of derogations currently in force. In some cases however, this rationalisation could involve extending certain particularly effective derogations to all Member States. The Commission’s communication of 20 October 2003 reiterates this compromise.
(7) The requested measure is to be considered first and foremost as a measure to prevent certain types of tax evasion in the ready-to-wear clothing industry.
(8) The Kingdom of the Netherlands should be granted an extension for the current derogation until 31 December 2006 .
(9) The derogation has no adverse impact on the European Communities’ own resources accruing from VAT nor does it affect the amount of VAT charged at the final stage of consumption.
(10) In order to ensure legal continuity, this Decision should apply as from 1 January 2004,
Decision 98/20/EC is hereby amended as follows:
— in Article 1 the date ‘31 December 2003’ shall be replaced by ‘31 December 2006’.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2004.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3483/88 (2), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3926/90 of 20 December 1990 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1991 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation  (EEC) No 3602/91 (4), provides for herring quotas for 1991;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member  State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of herring in the waters of ICES division VII e and f by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have reached the quota allocated for  1991; whereas the United Kingdom has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 5 December 1991; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of herring in the waters of ICES division VII e and f by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to the United Kingdom for 1991.
Fishing for herring in the waters of ICES division VII e and f by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured  by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

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 26 November 1982, the Federal Republic of 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 'Delmar - Electrocardioscanner, model 660A with DCG Data Terminal, model 680, Ambulatory Pressurometer II System and Arrhythmia Analyzer, model 662B', ordered on 3 July 1978 and intended to be used in a study on the incidence of arrhythmia in the case of various heart diseases and in normal people and also in a research project on the use of new drugs for the treatment of arrhythmia, 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 30 May 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 scanner;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the reliability of the diagnosis, 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 'Medilog ECG Analysis System' manufactured by Oxford Medical Systems Ltd, Nuffield Way, UK-Abingdon OX14 1BZ, Oxon,
The apparatus described as 'Delmar - Electrocardioscanner model 660A with DCG Data Terminal, model 680, Ambulatory Pressurometer II System and Arrhythmia Analyzer, model 662B', which is subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 26 November 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
