Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), and in particular Article 23a thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/57/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (2), and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the application submitted by Latvia,
Whereas:
(1) Directives 66/402/EEC and 2002/57/EC set out certain provisions for the marketing of cereal seed and seed of oil and fibre plants. Those Directives also provide that, subject to certain conditions, Member States may be wholly or partially released from the obligation to apply the provisions of those Directives in respect of certain species.
(2) Latvia has applied for release from their obligations in respect of Avena strigosa Schreb., Brassica nigra (L.) Koch, and partially in respect of Helianthus annuus L.
(3) The seed of Avena strigosa Schreb, Brassica nigra (L.) Koch and Helianthus annuus L. is not normally reproduced or marketed in Latvia. In addition, its economic importance in the abovementioned country is not significant. Due to climatic conditions, no production of seed of Helianthus annuus L. exists in Latvia; the seed for sowing is imported from other countries and the yield is used for feed purposes only.
(4) As long as those conditions remain, the relevant Member State should be released from the obligation to apply the provisions of Directives 66/402/EEC and 2002/57/EC to the species in question.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Latvia is released from the obligation to apply Directive 66/402/EEC, with the exception of Article 14(1), in respect of the species of Avena strigosa Schreb.

COMMISSION  DECISION

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 16 November 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 'ABS - Electronic Motorless Magnetic Stirrer', ordered 6 June 1978 and to be used for cancer research and in particular for the study of the response of tumour cells to platinum cytotoxic drug therapy, 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 20 April 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 a magnetic stirrer;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characterstics 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 'ABS - Electronic Motorless Magnetic Stirrer', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 16 November 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2646/1999
of 15 December 1999
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 on storage contracts for table wine, grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1677/1999(2), and in particular Article 32(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 of 29 April 1983 on storage contracts for table wine, grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1262/96(4), fixes the aid levels. The aid levels are intended to compensate for the financial and technical costs involved in the storage of wine and for the cost of the requisite certificates of analysis. The downward movement in interest rates in the most recent period justifies a revision of the elements used to calculate the levels of storage aid. On the other hand, the abolition of distillation under the price support guarantee measures has raised the technical storage costs, given that the wines are now placed on the market after storage and must therefore be of good quality and have been carefully looked after during storage. The aid levels must accordingly be adjusted, taking account of the changes in these calculation elements;
(2) the management Committee for Wine has not delivered an opinion within the time limt set by its chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 12(a):
- ECU 0,01715 is replaced by EUR 0,01544,
- ECU 0,02524 is replaced by EUR 0,02272;
2. in Article 12(c):
- ECU 0,02041 is replaced by EUR 0,01837,
- ECU 0,03019 is replaced by EUR 0,02717;
3. in Article 12(d):
- ECU 0,06835 is replaced by EUR 0,06152,
- ECU 0,07547 is replaced by EUR 0,06792;
4. in Article 12(e), ECU 0,06738 is replaced by EUR 0,06152.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a Q meter;
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 decribed as 'Hewlett Packard - Q meter, model 4342A' which is the subject of an application by France of 6 June 1983 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
