Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1110/2003(4), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Pursuant to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available for the reference exchange referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the representative market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.

The import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 2003.

COMMISSION DECISION  of 12 July 1978  on the refusal to accept the scientific character of an apparatus described as "Beckman Dynograph Recorders, type R-511 A", equipped with 9872 couplers, Statham UC3 transducers and UL5 accessories  (78/657/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),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 14 March 1978, the French Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Beckman Dynograph Recorders, type R-511 A", equipped with 9872 couplers, Statham UC3 transducers and UL5 accessories, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, if 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 23 June 1978 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination shows that the apparatus in question is a multi-purpose physiological recorder which allows recording of, in particular, different physiological parameters as well as electro-physiological phenomena;
Whereas it is an apparatus in current use in clinical medicine ; whereas its use for recording the contractions of smooth muscles in the bio-assaying of biologically active substances could not alone give it the character of a device specially suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it cannot, therefore, be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Beckman Dynograph Recorders type R-511 A", equipped with 9872 couplers, Statham UC3 transducers and UL5 accessories, is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3447/80 of 22 December 1980 amending Regulation (EEC) No 878/77 in respect of the conversion rate to be applied for the Greek drachma in agriculture
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 146 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 129 on the value of the unit of account and the exchange rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2543 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee,
Whereas the conversion rates to be employed for the purposes of the common agricultural policy, referred to as representative rates, were fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 878/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2512/80 (4) ; whereas Greece will be a member of the Community from 1 January 1981 ; whereas it is therefore necessary to introduce a representative rate applicable for Greece into the said Regulation;
Whereas it is desirable to avoid the creation of monetary compensatory amounts on accession of a new Member State ; whereas provision should therefore be made for employing a representative rate which reflects economic reality as nearly as possible and for having recourse to a conversion rate calculated on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the average rates for the drachma recorded on the exchange markets on 18 and 19 December 1980,
The following Annex IVa is hereby inserted in Regulation (EEC) No 878/77:
"ANNEX IVa
GREECE
1 ECU = 59 77175 Greek drachmas.
This rate shall apply on 1 January 1981."
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1981.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2428/2001(2) sets the quantities for which A1 export licences, other than those requested in the context of food aid, may be issued.
(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 sets the conditions under which special measures may be taken by the Commission with a view to avoiding an overrun of the quantities for which A1 licences may be issued.
(3) The Commission has received information which indicates that those quantities, reduced or increased by the quantities referred to in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, would be exceeded if A1 licences were issued without restriction for shelled almonds in response to applications submitted since 17 May 2002. Therefore, one percentage should be fixed for the issuing of licences for quantities applied for on 17 May 2002 and applications for A1 licences submitted later in that application period should be rejected,
A1 export licences for shelled almonds for which applications were submitted on 17 May 2002 pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1184/2001 shall be issued for 80,7 % of the quantities applied for.

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the notification by the Netherlands of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N8 in a laying hen holding in Hekendorp in the province of Utrecht, on 16 November 2014, Commission Implementing Decision 2014/808/EU (3) was adopted.
(2) Implementing Decision 2014/808/EU provides that the protection and surveillance zones established by the Netherlands, in accordance with Council Directive 2005/94/EC (4), are to comprise at least the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones in the Annex to that Implementing Decision.
(3) The interim protective measures put in place following the outbreak in Hekendorp in the Netherlands were reviewed within the framework of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 20 November 2014. The measures were confirmed and the Annex to that Implementing Decision amended by Commission Implementing Decision 2014/833/EU (5) in order to take into account the establishment of protection and surveillance zones around further outbreaks in Ter Aar and Kamperveen where veterinary restrictions according to Directive 2005/94/EC are applied.
(4) On 30 November 2014 a further outbreak was confirmed in a poultry holding in Zoeterwoude in Zuid-Holland. The measures according to Directive 2005/94/EC were immediately implemented including the establishment of the protection and surveillance zones.
(5) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade being imposed by third countries, it is necessary to define the protection and surveillance zones established on account of the new outbreak in the Netherlands at Union level in collaboration with that Member State and to fix the duration of that regionalisation.
(6) Implementing Decision 2014/833/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Implementing Decision 2014/833/EU shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
