COMMISSION DECISION of 8 October 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "CME square wave electromagnetic flowmeter, model 501, with blood flow probes, model EP 1101, 5S, model EP 1102 S and model EP 1102 R" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/877/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 7 April 1981, 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 "CME square wave electromagnetic flowmeter, model 501, with blood flow probes, model EP 1101, 5S, model EP 1102 S and model EP 1102 R", to be used to measure renal blood flow, 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 blood flowmeter;
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 "CME square wave electromagnetic flowmeter, model 501, with blood flow probes, model EP 1101, 5S, model EP 1102 S and model EP 1102 R" which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 7 April 1981 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 7 November 1974  amending Article 5 (2) of Directive 69/335/EEC concerning indirect taxes on the raising of capital  (74/553/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 99 and 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2);
Whereas Article 5 (2) of Council Directive 69/335/EEC (3) of 17 July 1969 concerning indirect taxes on the raising of capital provides that, in the cases referred to in paragraph 1 (a), (b) and (c) thereof, the amount on which capital duty is charged shall not be less than the actual value of the shares in the company allotted or belonging to each member or the nominal amount of these shares if the latter exceeds their actual value;
Whereas the adoption of the actual value of the shares as a minimum basis of taxation does not in some of the above cases conform to the principles on which the harmonized capital duty is based and which aim at introducing a system whereby capital duty is to be charged only on transactions legally constituting a raising of capital and only in so far as such transactions contribute towards strengthening the economic potential of the company,
Article 5 (2) of Directive 69/335/EEC is replaced by the following:
"2. In the cases referred to in paragraph 1 (a) and (b), Member States may base the amount on which to charge capital duty on the actual value of the shares in the company allotted or belonging to each member. This does not apply, to those cases in which contributions are made only in cash. The amount on which duty is charged shall in no circumstances be less than the nominal amount of the shares in the company allotted or belonging to each member."
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Catch limits for sandeel in ICES zone IIIa and in EC waters of ICES zones IIa and IV are provisionally laid down in Annex IA to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008.
(2) Pursuant to point 6 of Annex IID to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008, the Commission is to revise the total allowable catches (TAC) and quotas for 2008 for sandeel in those zones based on advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF).
(3) The TAC should be established according to the function laid down in point 6 of Annex IID to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008. According to that function the TAC would amount to 470 000 tonnes.
(4) In accordance with point 7 of Annex IID to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008, the TAC should not exceed 400 000 tonnes.
(5) Point 5 of Annex IID to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008 provides that for the unallocated quota for this TAC, the fishing effort allowed in the exploratory fishing relating to sandeel abundance in 2008 shall be distributed to Member States whose vessels have a record of fishing activity in the years 2002 to 2006 in that area, which corresponds to a share of fishing effort of 96 % for Sweden and a share of 4 % for Germany. The allocation key for the unallocated quota for this TAC should be established on the basis of that distribution of fishing effort.
(6) Sandeel is a North Sea stock which is shared with Norway but which is currently not jointly managed. The measures provided for in this Regulation should be in accordance with consultations with Norway pursuant to the provisions of the Agreed Record of conclusions of fisheries consultations between the European Commission and Norway of 26 November 2007. In consequence, the Community share of that part of the TAC that can be caught in ICES zones IIa and IV should be fixed at 90 % of 400 000 tonnes.
(7) Annex IA to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex IA to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.
