THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) It is advisable to adopt measures that would ensure compliance with the conditions for certain tariff quotas for imports of high quality beef into the Community.
(2) Discussions with the countries exporting high quality beef within the EC-WTO tariff quotas of 11 000 t, 5 000 t and 4 000 t respectively have revealed the need to better adapt the import conditions for these quotas.
(3) To clarify the situation, it is appropriate to allocate the relevant tariff quotas for which Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay are the sole suppliers to the respective country.
(4) The Commission should subsequently adopt definitions which are more easily auditable and verifiable in accordance with the procedure foreseen in Article 32(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1) so as to allow for an ex post verification and audit of the definition compliance, without changing the basic import conditions,

(2) In its communication to the European Parliament and the Council of 10 June 2004 concerning the European Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming, the Commission announced that it will propose an amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 replacing the current national derogations for imports by a new permanent system making use of technical equivalency evaluations by bodies assigned by the Community for that purpose.
(3) Sufficient time is needed to develop and establish this new permanent system.
(4) In the meanwhile, trade in organic products should not be unnecessarily disrupted and therefore the existing transitional measures should be extended for another year.
(5) Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 11(6)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, the date ‘31 December 2005’ shall be replaced by the date ‘31 December 2006’.

COMMISSION DECISION of 30 December 1982 establishing that the apparatus described as "Matec - Pulse Modulator and Receiver, model 6600" may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (82/970/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 27 May 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 "Matec - Pulse Modulator and Receiver, model 6600", ordered on 19 March 1982 and to be used to provide the ultrasonic driving pulse and timing circuity required to make pulse echo measurements of the transit time of ultrasonic waves across single crystals in the vicinity of phase transitions, 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 15 November 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 pulse modulator ; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the generation field of the pulses 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 "Matec - Pulse Modulator and Receiver, model 6600", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 27 May 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
