COMMISSION DECISION of 8 October 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "MKS sensor head, model 315 BHS, with electronics unit, model 170 M-6B, model 170 M-34 B, readout unit, model 170 M-25C, temperature controller, model 170 M-39 and temperature compensation unit, model 170 M-35" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/878/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 1 April 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 "MKS sensor head, model 315 BHS, with electronics unit, model 170 M-6B, model 170 M-34B, readout unit, model 170 M-25C, temperature controller, model 170 M-39 and temperature compensation unit, model 170 M-35", to be used for the analysis of absorption and permeation of gases and vapours by means of polymer films for the clarification of transport mechanisms and for the structural examination of polymer substances, 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 9 July 1981 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 manometer with electronic units;
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 "MKS sensor head, model 315 BHS, with electronics unit, model 170 M-6B, model 170 M-34B, readout unit, model 170 M-25C, temperature controller, model 170 M-39 and temperature compensation unit, model 170 M-35" which is the subject of an application by Germany of 1 April 1981 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 August 2008
amending Decision 2005/928/EC on the harmonisation of the 169,4-169,8125 MHz frequency band in the Community
(notified under document number C(2008) 4311)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/673/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2005/928/EC (2) harmonises the 169,4-169,8125 MHz frequency band in the Community.
(2) The frequency plan contained in the Annex to Decision 2005/928/EC describes the channel raster which the different applications operating under the conditions set in this Decision should adhere to. Such a channel raster aims at enabling compatibility and facilitating coexistence of the applications allowed in these bands.
(3) The frequency plan imposes a channel raster of 12,5 kHz in the 169,4000-169,4750 MHz band and a channel raster of 50 kHz in the 169,4875-169,5875 MHz band.
(4) Following the adoption of Decision 2005/928/EC further investigations of the technical parameters defined in this Decision revealed that the channel raster arrangements in the bands 169,4000-169,4750 MHz and 169,4875-169,5875 MHz are considered unduly restrictive given the technological development. Allowing several channel raster options will increase the flexibility for the users to choose the optimal bandwidth up to 50 kHz in accordance with quality requirements of the specific applications.
(5) The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) has confirmed that increasing the channel raster options in these bands can and should be allowed.
(6) Decision 2005/928/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. By amending this Decision channels up to 50 kHz will be possible in the 169,4000-169,4750 MHz and 169,4875-169,5875 MHz bands.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
Decision 2005/928/EC is amended as follows:
1. In the 4th row of the frequency plan in the Annex the channel raster (in kHz) figure ‘12,5’ for channels 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b is replaced by ‘up to 50 kHz’.
2. In the 4th row of the frequency plan in the Annex the channel raster (in kHz) figure ‘50’ for channels 4b + 5 + 6a and 6b + 7 + 8a is replaced by ‘up to 50 kHz’.
Article 1 shall apply from 31 October 2008.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 26 March 1981 amending Directive 78/631/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations (pesticides) (81/187/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 12 of Council Directive 78/631/EEC of 26 June 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations (pesticides) (1), Member States shall bring into force on 1 January 1981 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with that Directive;
Whereas Article 11 (1) of the said Directive provides that the list of active substances with indications of their conventional LD50 and LC50 values (Annex III) and the revised list of active substances in Annex II thereto shall be drawn up in accordance with the "committee procedure" referred to in Article 21 of Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (2), as last amended by Directive 79/831/EEC (3);
Whereas, when Annex II was being revised and Annex III drawn up, it was ascertained that the number of chemical substances to be considered was considerably greater than envisaged and the study of the various dangerous characteristics of these substances would take longer than had originally been assumed;
Whereas, although work progressed smoothly, it proved impossible to complete it before 1 January 1981;
Whereas, as long as there is no Annex III to Directive 78/631/EEC, the Member States are unable to adopt the measures required to bring into force the entirety of the Directive ; whereas, similarly, as long as the list of active substances contained in Annex II has not been brought up to date, it is not appropriate to require the Member States to adopt the necessary measures to comply with the Directive;
Whereas, therefore, the date on which Member States are required to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 78/631/EEC must be postponed,
Article 12 (1) of Directive 78/631/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
"1. Member States bring into force the necessary laws, regulations and administrative provisions to comply with this Directive on the date to be  (1) OJ No L 206, 29.7.1978, p. 13. (2) OJ No 196, 16.8.1967, p. 1. (3) OJ No L 259, 15.10.1979, p. 10.  prescribed for the entry into force of the measures to be adopted in accordance with Article 11 (1). They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof."
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Article 10(5) of Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 allows the Commission to advance the dates for the payment of the aids granted under the temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry established by that Regulation.
(2) Since the necessary financial resources are available in the restructuring fund referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 320/2006, Member States should be given the possibility to advance the date for the payment of the second instalment of the restructuring aid granted in the marketing year 2008/09 to undertakings, growers and machinery contractors which renounced their quota as of 1 October 2008 to the date of the payment of the first instalment,
