COMMISSION  DECISION
of 8 March 1984
establishing that the apparatus described as 'PAR - Vibrating Magnetometer System, model 155, with accessories' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(84/163/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 26 August 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'PAR - Vibrating Magnetometer System, model 155, with accessories', ordered on 19 May 1980 and intended to be used for measuring magnetic properties between 3K and crystallizing temperature, 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 17 February 1984 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 magnetometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the uniformity of the magnetic 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 'PAR - Vibrating Magnetometer System, model 155, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 26 August 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

of 13 February 2003
prohibiting fishing for yellowtail flounder by vessels flying the flag of a Member State
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2846/98(2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 of 20 December 2002 fixing for 2003 the fishing opportunities and associated fishing conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where limitations in catch are required(3), lays down quotas for yellowtail flounder for 2003.
(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to the Community.
(3) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of yellowtail flounder in the waters of NAFO zone 3LNO by vessels flying the flag of a Member State or registered in a Member State have exhausted the share of the total allowable catch allocated to the Community for 2003,
Catches of yellowtail flounder in the waters of NAFO zone 3LNO by vessels flying the flag of a Member State or registered in a Member State are hereby deemed to have exhausted the share of the total allowable catch allocated to the Community for 2003.
Fishing for yellowtail flounder in the waters of NAFO zone 3LNO by vessels flying the flag of a Member State or registered in a Member State is hereby prohibited, as are the retention on board, transhipment and landing of this stock caught by the above vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 368/76  of 16 February 1976  amending Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 in respect of the reference period for calculating the levy and the sluice-gate price for eggs
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 Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in eggs (2) includes a system of import levies and sluice-gate prices, one of the reference components of which is that of the prices of certain types of feed grain on the world market;
Whereas fluctuations in world market prices for cereals have become more marked in the past few years ; whereas it appears that the use of the world market prices for cereals applicable during the six months preceding the quarter during which the levy and the sluice-gate price are to be calculated can produce figures that no longer reflect price trends in non-member countries ; whereas it is therefore appropriate to up-date the basis of calculation by adopting a reference period of five months preceding the month in which the levy and the sluice-gate price are fixed,
The third subparagraph of Article 4 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 shall be replaced by the following:
"The prices for feed grain on the world market shall be determined quarterly on the basis of the prices for such grain recorded for the five months ending one month before the quarter in respect of which the said component is calculated."
The second subparagraph of Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 shall be replaced by the following:
"The price for the quantity of feed grain shall be determined quarterly on the basis of the world market prices for such grain recorded for the five months ending one month before the quarter in respect of which the sluice-gate price is fixed."
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 May 1976.
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 Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3563/84 of 18 December 1984 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1985 in respect of textile products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Article 2 of that Regulation provides that preferential tariff treatment shall be accorded, for each category of products subjected to individual ceilings not allocated among the Member States, within the limits of the quantities specified in column 7 of its Annexes I or II, in respect of certain or each of the countries or territories of origin referred to in column 5 of the same Annexes; whereas Article 3 of that Regulation provides that the levying of customs duties may be re-established at any time in respect of imports of the products in question once the relevant individual ceilings have been reached at Community level;
Whereas, in respect of certain women's, girls' and infants' woven overcoats, raincoats and other coats, products of category 15 B (code 40.0155), the relevant ceiling amounts to 11 600 pieces; whereas on 4 February 1985 imports of the products in question into the Community originating in Thailand, a country covered by preferential tariff arrangements, reached and were charged against that ceiling;
Whereas it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties for the products in question with regard to Thailand,
As from 12 February 1985 the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3563/84, shall be re-established in respect of the following products, imported into the Community and originating in Thailand:
1.2.3.4.5 //   //   //   //   //   // Code  // Category  // CCT heading No  // NIMEXE code (1985)  // Description  //  //   //   //   //   //   // (1)  // (2)  // (3)  // (4)  //  //   //   //   //   // 40.0155  // 15 B  // ex 61.02 B  //  // Women's, girls' and infants' outer garments:  //   //   //  // 61.02-31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40  // B.
