Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,
Having regard to Common Position 2007/400/CFSP of 11 June 2007 terminating certain restrictive measures imposed against Liberia (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Common Position 2004/137/CFSP of 10 February 2004 concerning restrictive measures against Liberia (2) provided for the implementation of the measures set out in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1521(2003) concerning Liberia, including inter alia, a ban on the import of rough diamonds from Liberia. That ban was most recently renewed by Common Position 2007/93/CFSP of 12 February 2007 modifying and renewing Common Position 2004/137/CFSP (3) for a period of six months. On 27 April 2007, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1753(2007). It decided, inter alia, to terminate the restrictive measures on diamonds from Liberia. Subsequently, Liberia was admitted as of 4 May 2007 to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. Accordingly, Liberia should be listed as a Participant in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 of 20 December 2002 implementing the Kimberley Process certification scheme for the international trade in rough diamonds (4).

(3) Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 234/2004, which prohibits the import into the Community of rough diamonds from Liberia, and Article 6(3) which prohibits circumvention of that prohibition, should therefore be repealed with retroactive effect as of 27 April 2007,
Paragraphs (1) and (3) of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 234/2004 shall be repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 27 April 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. The first subparagraph of Article 13(1) of that Regulation provides for eradication measures to be applied when the presence of a TSE has been officially confirmed. Those measures consist in particular in the killing and complete destruction of the animals and products of animal origin which have been identified as being at risk (‘at risk bovine animals’) due to an epidemiological link with the affected animals.
(2) Spain has submitted to the Commission a request for a decision to allow the use of at risk bovine animals until the end of their productive lives by way of derogation from point (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
(3) The control measures submitted by Spain provide for strict movement restriction and traceability of bovine animals in such a way that the current level of protection of human and animal health is not endangered.
(4) On the basis of a favourable risk assessment, Spain should therefore be allowed to use at risk bovine animals until the end of their productive lives provided that certain conditions are met.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1.   By way of derogation from point (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, Spain may use bovine animals referred to in the second and third indents of point 1(a) of Annex VII to that Regulation until the end of their productive lives under the conditions provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article.
2.   Spain shall ensure that the bovine animals referred to in paragraph 1:
(a) are permanently traceable in the computerised database provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2);
(b) are only moved from their holding under official supervision and for the purpose of destruction;
(c) are not dispatched to other Member States or exported to third countries.
3.   Spain shall carry out regular checks to verify the correct implementation of this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/96 of 18 June 1996 on the implementation of the concessions set out in Schedule CXL drawn up in the wake of the conclusion of the GATT XXIV.6 negotiations (2),

Whereas:
(1) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 stipulates how the delivery obligations at zero duty of products of CN code 1701, expressed in white sugar equivalent, are to be determined for imports originating in signatory countries to the ACP Protocol and the Agreement with India.
(2) Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 stipulates how the zero duty tariff quotas for products of CN code 1701 11 10, expressed in white sugar equivalent, are to be determined for imports originating in signatory countries to the ACP Protocol and the Agreement with India.

COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1978/82
of 19 July 1982
on the classification of goods under heading No 18.05 of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, it is necessary to lay down provisions concerning the tariff classification of a product consisting of cocoa powder with small quantities (approximately 5 % by weight) of added lecithin;
Whereas heading No 18.05 of the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1883/82 (3), relates to unsweetened cocoa powder;
Whereas the addition of small quantities of lecithin to cocoa powder merely increases its capacity to form dispersions in liquids and, consequently, facilitates the preparation of cocoa-based drinks ('soluble cocoa');
Whereas the addition to cocoa powder of approximately 5 % by weight of lecithin does not alter its character as a product falling within heading No 18.05;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
The product consisting of cocoa powder with small quantities (approximately 5 % by weight) of added lecithin shall be classified in the Common Customs Tariff under the following heading:
18.05 Cocoa powder, unsweetened.

Whereas Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1328/93 (3), fixed a deadline for the acceptance of applications lodged by operators with national competent authorities; whereas initial experience has shown that this deadline is too short and does  not allow operators to assure that their operations are carried out successfully; whereas it is therefore appropriate to extend the deadline without, however putting in question the objective to book the expenditure under the 1993 budget year;
Whereas the measures provided for in the present Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
In Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1328/93 the date of '15 July 1993' shall be replaced by '1 October 1993'.

In the second subparagraph of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3398/84 '30 June 1986' is hereby replaced by '30 June 1987'.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 27 September 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Gentry-Phillipson Oxygen Microbomb Calorimeter' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/681/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 23 March 1982, the United Kingdom 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 'Gentry-Phillipson Oxygen Microbomb Calorimeter', ordered on 4 February 1981 and to be used for ecological research and teaching within a zoological department, should be considered as 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 16 July 1982 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 'Gentry-Phillipson Oxygen Microbomb Calorimeter', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 23 March 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

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 anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions VIII a, b, d, e by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium have reached the quota allocated for 1998; whereas Belgium has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 5 July 1998; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions VIII a, b, d, e by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Belgium for 1998.
Fishing for anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions VIII a, b, d, e, vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium 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.
