Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy(1), and in particular the second indent of Article 11(4) thereof,
Whereas:

Whereas:
(1) Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 establishes a processing threshold for oranges of 1189000 tonnes.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 5 July 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Beckman - UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, model 25', may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/344/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 21 December 1982, Italy 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 'Beckman - UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, model 25', ordered on 9 June 1977 and intended to be used for the identification of the factor responsible for the control of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in human erythrocyte and in mechanisms responsible for haemolysis in persons deficient in this enzyme, 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 22 June 1983, 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 spectrophotometer; 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 'Beckman - UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, model 25', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 21 December 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2734/86

Whereas, on account of the exceptionally high levels of stocks of certain agricultural products in intervention storage, the Commission has, in certain instances, provided for a period in which payment may be made after the purchaser has removed the products from store;
Whereas the present system for calculating interest charges in respect of funds immobilized at national level is based on the average quantity of products in store per month;
Whereas it is appropriate, as an exceptional measure, to adjust the method of calculating interest charges for the sales concerned, in order to take account of such period for payment; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 467/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1730/86 (4), was thus amended in the past at any new occasion in the context of a common organization of the market; whereas it is opportune to establish a permanent rule to avoid such frequent changes;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Fund Committee,
Article 1 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 467/77 is hereby replaced by the following:
'(6) In respect of sales of agricultural products by intervention agencies based on specific Community regulations, where the actual period for payment after removal of such products exceeds 30 days, the financing costs calculated pursuant to the provisions set out in the preceding paragraphs shall be increased by the amount given by the following formula:
M Ă D Ă i
365
Where:
1.2 // M   // = amount to be paid by purchaser,   // D   // = number of days between removal of the product and receipt of payment, less 30,   // i   // = interest rate specified in Article 2.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation is applicable from 15 March 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
