Whereas:
(1) Under Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71, Finland may, subject to authorisation by the Commission, grant aid for certain quantities of cereal seeds produced solely in Finland because of its specific climatic conditions.
(2) By letter dated 6 November 2000, the Finnish Government requested the Commission for authorisation to grant farmers the aid provided for in the abovementioned Article 8 for those varieties of seed in order to ensure that appropriate quantities of the products in question continue to be available in that country.
(3) The proposed aid meets the requirements laid down in that provision. It concerns cereal seed varieties necessary for cultivation in Finland which are adapted to the weather conditions in that country and are not multiplied in the other Member States. The level of the aid and the quantities for which it is to be granted are justified in view of the objective pursued by the planned measure. The Commission authorisation is limited to the varieties included in the list of Finnish varieties which, with the exception of limited quantities cultivated in adjacent regions, are cultivated only in Finland.
(4) Provision should be made for the Commission to be informed of the measures taken by Finland to comply with the limits laid down in this Decision and, with a view to drawing up the report provided for in the last subparagraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71, of the practical results of those measures,
Finland is authorised until 31 December 2005 to grant to farmers established on its territory producing cereal seeds of varieties certified by its legislation, aid not exceeding EUR 2,523 per 100 kilograms for a maximum quantity of 100000 tonnes per year.
The authorisation shall cover exclusively varieties listed in the Finnish national catalogue and which, except for small quantities cultivated in regions bordering on Finland, are grown solely in that Member State.
Finland shall ensure, by an appropriate inspection system, that the aid is granted only in respect of the varieties and quantities referred to in Article 1.
Finland shall send the Commission each year a list of the certified varieties and any amendment thereto and inform it of the quantities of seed for which the aid is granted.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2000.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Finland.

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 13 April 1979, the Government of Belgium 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 "Isotopes Radi Guard, model 9100 TLD, automatic reader", intended to be used for automatic measurement of the atomic radiations of the "Radi-Guard multi-area teflon dosimeter", 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 20 September 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an automatic measuring apparatus ; whereas it is mainly used in the commercial field ; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to pure scientific research;
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,
The apparatus described as "Isotopes Radi Guard, model 9100 TLD, automatic reader" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
