COMMISSION  DECISION
of 15 November 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Ithaco - Heterodyne Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 391A' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/801/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 7 April 1982, 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 'Ithaco - Heterodyne Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 391A', ordered on 5 November 1979 and to be used for the characterization of surfaces in an UHV for purity analysis purposes, 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 21 September 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 an amplifier;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility in relation to sound 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 'Ithaco - Heterodyne Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 391A', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 7 April 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE 2014/73/EU
of 13 March 2014
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead in platinized platinum electrodes used for conductivity measurements
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, (1) and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.
(2) Platinized platinum electrodes (PPEs) are platinum electrodes covered with a thin layer of platinum black. These electrodes are used when wide-range conductivity measurements are required or for measuring conductivity under strongly acidic or alkaline conditions. Both the substitution or elimination of lead in PPEs and the substitution of PPEs with other types of electrodes are scientifically and technically impracticable under these conditions.
(3) The use of lead in PPEs for wide-range conductivity measurements or for measuring conductivity under strongly acidic or alkaline conditions should therefore be exempted from the prohibition until 31 December 2018. This transition period is necessary for research and unlikely to have adverse impacts on innovation.
(4) Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by the last day of the sixth month after entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 762/89 (4) introduced a specific measure for certain grain legumes; whereas that Regulation expires on 30 June 1992;
Whereas the maintenance of crops of grain legumes such as lentils, chick-peas and vetches is in the Community economic interest; whereas, therefore, the specific measure in their favour should be extended to 30 June 1993,
In Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 762/89, '1991/92' is hereby replaced by '1992/93'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

L.  Merrill should no longer be considered as harmful organisms whose introduction may be prohibited in certain Member States; whereas it is no longer appropriate to maintain the current provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC relating to these harmful organisms,  taking into account the actual spread situation of the organisms concerned;
Whereas therefore the relevant Annexes to Directive 77/93/EEC should be amended accordingly in the light of developments in scientific or technical knowledge;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Directive 77/93/EEC is amended as follows:
1. In Annex II, Part B, Section (b), entry 2 (Pseudomonas glycinea) is deleted.

of 29 April 2004
fixing the minimum selling prices for butter for the 140th individual invitation to tender under the standing invitation to tender provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2571/97
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The intervention agencies are, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs(2), to sell by invitation to tender certain quantities of butter from intervention stocks that they hold and to grant aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter. Article 18 of that Regulation stipulates that in the light of the tenders received in response to each individual invitation to tender a minimum selling price shall be fixed for butter and maximum aid shall be fixed for cream, butter and concentrated butter. It is further stipulated that the price or aid may vary according to the intended use of the butter, its fat content and the incorporation procedure, and that a decision may also be taken to make no award in response to the tenders submitted.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1582/96 of 30 July 1996 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 laying down general rules in respect of aid for the consumption of olive oil
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Article 11 (7) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Whereas, since it was last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1581/96, Article 11 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC no longer provides that olive oil must be of Community origin in order to be eligible for consumption aid; whereas, therefore, it is no longer necessary to provide for checks on the Community origin of the product or to retain the system of securities in respect of the placing in free circulation of olive oil imported from third countries; whereas, however, the placing in free circulation of olive oil originating in Tunisia and imported within a quota under special arrangements must continue to be subject to the lodging of a security, since the reduced duty applicable to such oil is determined with no account being taken of the security lodged previously in respect of all the quantities of olive oil placed in free circulation,
Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 (3) is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the introductory lines of Article 4 (1) the words 'produced in the Community` shall be deleted.
2. In Article 7 (a) and (b) the words 'of Community origin` shall be deleted.
3. Article 9 shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 9
The placing in free circulation in the Community of olive oil falling within CN code 1509 10 originating in Tunisia and imported under special arrangements within a quantity ceiling shall be subject to the lodging of a security. The amount of this security shall be equal to the part of the consumption aid which would be paid to the packaging plants for the same quantity of olive oil and which obtains when the customs formalities for placing the oil in free circulation are completed. However, in the event of a decision entailing a substantial alteration in the consumption aid, the Commission may adjust, as from the data of that decision, the amount of the security to take account of the alteration in question. The security shall be released as soon as the party concerned provides proof that the olive oil in question has been made ineligible for consumption aid and for the production refund referred to in Article 20a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(1) The import licence applications for rice falling within CN code 1006 lodged from 1 July 2005 to 13.00 on 4 July 2005 and notified to the Commission cover an amount of 59 135 tonnes, whereas the maximum amount of such rice that can be imported under the Protocol to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Arab Republic of Egypt, of the other part, to take account of the accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia, and the Slovak Republic to the European Union (3), attached to Council Decision 2005/89/EC (4), is 9 342 tonnes.
(2) A reduction percentage should therefore be fixed for import licence applications lodged by 13.00 on 4 July 2005 and benefiting from a 100 % reduction in customs duty calculated in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003.
(3) No further import licences allowing a 100 % reduction in the customs duty should be issued for 2005.
(4) Given its purpose, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,
Import licence applications for rice falling within CN code 1006 under the quota opened by Regulation (EC) No 955/2005, submitted before 13.00 on 4 July 2005 and notified to the Commission, shall give rise to the issue of licences for the quantities applied for multiplied by a reduction coefficient of 84,202249 %.
