Whereas, by letter dated 22 February 1980, the Government of Italy 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 "Tandberg instrumentation recorder, series 115", to be used to investigate chemoreceptor functions and in particular to store neurophysiological data, 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 May 1980 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;

In order to attain more effectively the objectives of adjustment of the method for the allocation of the quantities which may be exported with a refund and efficient use of the resources available, as referred to in Article 13(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75, it would be advisable to extend the circumstances, provided for in Article 3(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/2003 (2), in which the Commission may take steps to restrict the issue of export licences or the lodging of applications for such licences during the reflection period for which provision is made following the lodging of applications.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

(3) Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column 1 of the table set out in the Annex to this Regulation should be classified under the CN codes indicated in column 2, by virtue of the reasons set out in column 3 of that table.
(4) It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information which has been issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature but which is not in accordance with this Regulation can, for a period of three months, continue to be invoked by the holder, under Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).

Whereas Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3583/81 (3), fixed the period of validity of export licences at 90 days; whereas, in the light of experience, it seems appropriate to increase the period of validity of export licences other than those giving entitlement to special export arrangements as referred to in Article 3 (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 5 (b) is replaced by the following:
'(b) other export licences: up to the end of the fifth month following the month of issue within the meaning of Article 21 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80.'

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1208/84 (2), and in particular Article 42 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pending the adoption of provisions supplementing or harmonizing the definitions of semi- sparkling wines and of products falling within heading No 22.06 of the Common Customs Tariff, provision should be made to extend by one year the provisions referred to in Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 351/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3518/83 (4); whereas, moreover, experience has shown that no difficulty is likely to result from this extension,
In Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 351/79, '31 December 1984' is hereby replaced by '31 December 1985'.

of 7 March 2003
amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 1331/2002 on a standing invitation to tender to determine levies and/or refunds on exports of white sugar for the 2002/2003 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 22(2), Article 27(5) and (15) and Article 33(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1331/2002(3) opens a standing invitation to tender to determine levies and/or refunds on exports of white sugar for all destinations.
(2) Under the first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the situation on the world market or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation, depending on their destination.
(3) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the countries of the western Balkans since the start of 2001 and in exports of Community sugar to those countries appears to be highly artificial in nature.
(4) To prevent any abuse through reimportation into the European Union of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund or levy should be fixed for the countries of the western Balkans for the products listed in Regulation (EC) No 1331/2002.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1331/2002 should be amended accordingly.
(6) In view of the dates for the invitations to tender, this Regulation must enter into force immediately.
(7) The Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2002 is hereby replaced by:
"1. A standing invitation to tender shall be issued in order to determine export levies and/or export refunds on white sugar covered by CN code 1701 99 10 for all destinations except for Albania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro(4) and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. During the period of this validity of this invitation to tender, partial invitations to tender shall be issued."

In the interests of clarity, the list in question should be replaced and Regulation (EC) No 1915/2002 should be repealed,
Buying-in of butter by invitation to tender as provided for in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 is hereby suspended in Belgium, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, Austria, Luxembourg, Finland and Sweden.
