COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 858/1999

amending Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 introducing a Community aid scheme for producers of certain citrus fruits
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2202/96(4) introduces processing thresholds; whereas an overrun of these tresholds is assessed using the average of the quantities processed under the aid scheme in the last three marketing years, including the current one; whereas the aid fixed for the current marketing year is reduced where an overrun has been established; whereas this system of calculation means that the amount of aid for a given marketing year cannot be known until after the marketing year in question; whereas this situation causes problems for the management of producer organisations; whereas the effects of an overrun should therefore be postponed to the following marketing year;
Whereas account needs to be taken of the fact that certain products are processed during the whole of the marketing year for those products; whereas, in that case, observance of the processing threshold should be assessed over a period equivalent to three marketing years;
Whereas this amendment to Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 should apply from the 1999/2000 marketing year,
Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 5(2) and (3) shall be replaced by the following: "2. The aid fixed in accordance with Article 3(2) for a given marketing year for the products in question shall be reduced by 1 % per tranche of the overrun referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article where the average of the quantities processed under the aid scheme during the three marketing years proceeding the marketing year in question, or during an equivalent period, exceeds the said threshold.
The overrun tranches shall be equal to 1 % of each of the thresholds referred to in paragraph 1."
2. Article 6 shall be replaced by the following: "Article 6
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, in particular on the payment of aid, monitoring measures and penalties, the marketing years, the minimum characteristics of the raw materials delivered for processing, the equivalent period referred to in Article 5(2) and the financial consequences of exceeding the thresholds shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the 1999/2000 marketing year.

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 on the common organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products and amending Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
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 the Community demand for, and imports of, surimi (a washed and stabilized protein gel made from minced fish) and preparations of surimi, which are intended for direct consumption, have been steadily increasing during recent years;
Whereas the Community production of surimi and preparations of surimi has grown in importance concurrently with international trends;
Whereas experience has shown that although several different species of fish with a low fat content may be used as raw material for the production of surimi, a specific identification of the raw material actually used is not easily feasible due to the final features of surimi and preparations of surimi;
Whereas at present neither surimi nor preparations of surimi are separately identified as products subject to the rules of the common fisheries policy laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 (4);
Whereas, for that reason, the Community is not able to monitor trade in these products or the trend in market prices and whereas therefore that Regulation should be amended so as to include surimi and preparations of surimi;
Whereas the tariff nomenclature resulting from the application of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 is included in the Common Customs Tariff and an amendment should consequently be made to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5),
The following subheadings shall be inserted in Annex VII to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 and in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87:

Whereas Article 1 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 627/85 of 12 March 1985 on storage aid and financial compensation for unprocessed dried grapes and figs (3) provides that storage aid shall be fixed per day and per 100 kilograms net of sultanas of category 4 and figs of category C; whereas paragraph 2 of the same Article provides that one rate of storage aid for dried grapes shall apply until the end of February of the year following that in which the products were bought and another rate shall apply to storage beyond that period;
Whereas the storage aid shall be calculated taking into consideration the technical cost of storage and the financing of the purchase price paid for the products;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
The storage aid referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 627/85 shall, for products from the marketing year 1987/88, be as set out in the Annex.
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.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 4 May 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Gilford - Computer-Assisted Analyzer, model System 4' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/239/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 30 October 1982, Italy 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 'Gilford - Computer-Assisted Analyzer, model System 4', ordered on 12 December 1978 and intended to be used for the determination of concentrations of anti-epileptic drugs in plasma and in particular for research into the treatment of epilepsy, 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 25 April 1983, 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 spectrophotometer; 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 'Gilford - Computer-Assisted Analyzer, model System 4', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 30 October 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
