Whereas Article 15 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 380/84 (4), provides that tendering securities are to be lodged in the Member State in which the tender is submitted; whereas experience has shown that the response to such sales by tender would be greater if the tendering security could be lodged with the competent authorities in the Member State in which the butter is to be processed; whereas, therefore, Article 15 should be amplified to allow for this possibility;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 is hereby replaced by the following:
'3. The tendering security shall be lodged in the Member State in which the tender is submitted.
However, if the tender states that the butter is to be processed in a Member State other than the Member State of sale, the tendering security may be lodged with the competent authority designated by that other Member State, which shall issue to the tenderer the documentary proof referred to in Article 14 (4) (c). In such a case, the selling intervention agency shall inform the competent authority of the other Member State of facts justifying the release or forfeiture of the security. If the security is forfeited, the amount thereof shall be transferred to the selling intervention agency.'

Whereas:
(1) Article 34(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1614/2001(4), stipulates that, without prejudice to Article 38 of that Regulation, the amount of the aid referred to in Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 for private storage is to be fixed each year.

(2) Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 stipulates the period in which entry into store must take place. The current situation on the butter market justifies bringing the entry date of 15 March for butter and cream storage operations in 2003 forward to 1 March, as an exceptional measure.

The aid referred to in Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall be calculated per tonne of butter or butter equivalent for contracts concluded in 2003 on the following basis:

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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,
(1) Whereas the Community has undertaken, in the conclusion of the GATT Article XXIV:6 negotiations, to examine problems identified if the functioning of the "representative price" system for cereals appears to be impeding trade; whereas certain consignments of barley for malting have been subject to impediment;
(2) Whereas in order to remedy such impediment an annual Community tariff quota for barley for malting falling within CN code 1003 00 should be opened for 1999 and 2000;
(3) Whereas detailed rules for the application of this Regulation should be adopted pursuant to Article 23 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1),
1. An annual Community tariff quota of 50000 tonnes is hereby opened for 1999 and 2000 for high graded barley falling within CN code 1003 00 and intended for the production of malt to be used for the manufacture of certain beer aged in tanks containing beechwood.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 5 July 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'GWR - Superconducting Gravimeter, model TT 40, with accessories' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/478/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 amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (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 30 November 1981, 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 'GWR - Superconducting Gravimeter, model TT 40, with accessories', ordered 15 October 1979 and to be used for the determination of periodic and aperiodic changes in the earth's gravitational field, with high precision, 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 14 May 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 gravimeter; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility 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 'GWR - Superconducting Gravimeter, model TT 40, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 30 November 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
