COMMISSION  DIRECTIVE
of 13 September 1988
amending Annex II to Council Directive 66/402/EEC on the marketing of cereal seed
(88/506/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 21a thereof,
Whereas, according to present scientific and technical knowledge, it appears that certain varieties of oat (Avena sativa) of the 'naked oat' type have a potential value as fodder;
Whereas, however, it is difficult to produce seed of these varieties with a germination capacity equal to that normally achieved by seed of other oat varieties;
Whereas, in the light of the development of scientific and technical knowledge, it is therefore appropriate to reduce, for varieties of oat of the 'naked oat' type, the minimum germination capacity of 85 % of pure seed laid down for oats in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC;
Whereas this reduction should apply, in the first instance, for a limited period only, so that further technical data about these varieties can be collected and assessed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the Table in section (2) (A), in column 2 ('Minimum germination'), after the figure 85 given for certified seed, 1st and 2nd generation of (inter alia) Avena sativa, the reference '(d)' is added.
2. In section (2) (B), the following condition is added:
'(d) In the case of varieties of Avena sativa which are officially classified as of the 'naked oat' type, Member States may, until 30 June 1990, reduce the minimum germination capacity to 75 % of pure seed. In such a case, the official label shall be endorsed "minimum germination capacity 75 %".'
Member States which make use of the possibility added by Article 1 (2) shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of the measures they take for this purpose.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 29 July 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Bomem - Fourier Transform Spectrophotometer, model DA 3-01' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/410/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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (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 1 February 1983, France 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 'Bomem - Fourier Transform Spectrophotometer, model DA 3-01', ordered on 29 September 1982 and intended to be used for taking absorption, magneto-absorption, piezo-absorption and luminescence readings at low temperature on impurities and defects in silicon, semiconductors in groups III V and II VI and also for magnetoreflection measurements on graphite interpolating compounds, 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 22 June 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 spectrometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the high resolution, 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 'Bomem - Fourier Transform Spectrophotometer, model DA 3-01', which is the subject of an application by France of 1 February 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

DECISION No 2239/2004/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 17 November 2004
amending Council Decision 1999/784/EC concerning Community participation in the European Audiovisual Observatory
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 157(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),
Whereas:
(1) In Decision 1999/784/EC (4) the Council decided that the Community should become a member of the European Audiovisual Observatory (hereinafter ‘the Observatory’) in order to support the latter's activity. The Observatory contributes to strengthening the competitiveness of the Community's audiovisual industry by improving the transfer of information to the industry, in particular to small and medium-sized enterprises, and promoting a clearer view of the market.
(2) Multimedia and the new technologies will play an ever greater role in the audiovisual sector. The Observatory could continue to play its important role if its capacity to follow these new developments were strengthened in due course.
(3) Although free movement of persons, goods and services is enshrined in the Treaty, the lack of information on the many differences in national regulations in the fields of fiscal and labour law acts as an obstacle to the free movement of audiovisual goods and services. The Observatory could offer a positive contribution by collecting and providing expertise and systematic information in the fields of fiscal and labour law, copyright and consumer protection law.
(4) Further to the European Parliament's resolution of 4 September 2003 on Television without Frontiers, which called for an annual benchmarking report on making digital TV accessible for people with disabilities, the Observatory should be invited to collect data on an annual basis on the levels of television services provided in all Member States of the European Union or of the Council of Europe to assist disabled people, such as subtitling, audio description and sign language.
(5) Community participation in the Observatory has proved effective in supporting the latter's activity.
(6) It is appropriate to continue such participation during the period necessary for the Observatory to adopt guidelines for its future activity, from 2006 onwards.
(7) Decision 1999/784/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Article 5 of Decision 1999/784/EC shall be replaced by the following:
‘Article 5
This Decision shall apply until the last day of the last month of the seventh year following the year of its adoption.’

Fishing quotas referred to in the Annex shall not be subject to the conditions laid down in Articles 2, 3 and 5 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 847/96.
