COMMISSION  DECISION
of 19 May 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Conviron - Plant Growth Chamber, model PGV 36; - Growth Bench, model GB 48; - Cold Chamber, model C 816; - Chamber, model C 604 and - Incubator, model I 23 L', may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/382/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 December 1981, Belgium 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 'Conviron - Plant Growth Chamber, model PGV 36; - Growth Bench, model GB 48; - Cold Chamber, model C 816; - Chamber, model C 604 and - Incubator, model I 23 L', ordered 16 June 1980 and to be used for research on the metabolism of phytohormones in relation to various processes of growth and development and also for the perfection of plant multiplication techniques by in vitro cultivation, should be considered as scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value are 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 20 April 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter; whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question are respectively a growth chamber, a growth bench, a temperature and pressure recorder, a cold chamber, a chamber and an incubator;
Whereas they do not have the requisite objective characteristics making them specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas their use in the case in question could not alone confer upon them the character of scientific apparatus; whereas they therefore cannot be regarded as scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Conviron - Plant Growth Chamber, model PGV 36; - Growth Bench, model GB 48; - Cold Chamber, model C 816; - Chamber, model C 604 and - Incubator, model I 23 L', which are the subject of an application by Belgium of 1 December 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 474/77  of 8 March 1977  on the use of a separate heading in the Communities' budget for the financial effect of the different conversion rates applied for measures financed by the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 209 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the Communities' budget provides that from 1 January 1977 a separate heading shall be used for expenditure resulting from the application of different conversion rates, namely, the representative rates used to convert into national currencies the amounts relating to operations financed by the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF and the budgetary rates to be used to convert expenditure expressed in national currencies for the purpose of charging it to the Communities' budget;
Whereas the paying authorities within the meaning of Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2788/72 (3), do not in general keep separate accounts according to the representative rate applied ; whereas the introduction of separate accounts at this level would lead to major administrative complications ; whereas, therefore, a method should be used which takes account of the factors determining the level of such expenditure, so that separate accounts can be kept at Community level of the expenditure resulting from different conversion rates,
1. When the Communities' budget provides for a separate entry for the financial effect of applying, on the one hand, the representative rates to convert into national currencies amounts resulting from operations financed by the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF and, on the other hand, the budgetary rates to convert expenditure expressed in national currencies, the entries shall be made in accordance with a method to be adopted following the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.
2. The method referred to in paragraph 1 shall, in the case of each Member State, take account inter alia for the budgetary rate, the various representative rates, the period of their application and the customary period of payment.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

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 3599/85 of 17 December 1985 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1986 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of that Regulation, duties on the products listed in Annex II originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III shall be totally suspended and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 12;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 12, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes, or threatens to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-established, once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered shall be, as a general rule, 165 % of the highest maximum amount valid for 1980;
Whereas, in the case of nuts, threaded or tapped, other than self-locking nuts, falling within subheading 73.32 B ex II, the individual ceiling was fixed at 2 782 000 ECU; whereas, on 22 July 1986, imports of these products into the Community, originating in Singapore, reached the ceiling in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community;
Whereas it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question against Singapore,
As from 27 July 1986, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3599/86, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in Singapore:
1.2 //  //  // CCT heading No  // Description  //  //  // 73.32 B ex II (NIMEXE code 73.32-91, 95, 97)  // Nuts separately consigned, threaded or tapped, other than self-locking nuts   //    //
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
