COMMISSION  DECISION
of 14 February 1985
repealing Commission Decision 82/649/EEC and establishing that the apparatus described as 'Apollo - Tunable CO2 Laser, model 560' may be imported free of import duties
(85/169/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 of 28 March 1983 setting up a Community of reliefs from customs duty (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2290/83 of 29 July 1983 laying down provisions for the implementation of Articles 50 to 59 of Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by Decision 82/649/EEC (3), the Commission decided that the apparatus described as 'Apollo - Tunable CO2 Laser, model 560' could not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties on the grounds that apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, were currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applied, in particular, to the apparatus 'Serie 6000' manufactured by Fairlight Technische en Wetenschappelijke Apparaten BV, Jan Luykenstraat 23, NL-1007 AA Amsterdam, Holland;
Whereas that Decision was adopted after consultation of the Group of Experts, as provided for under Community rules; whereas, in the light of new information brought to the notice of this group, it is clear that, at the time of ordering of the abovementioned 'Apollo - Tunable CO2 Laser, model 560', no apparatus capable of being used for the same purposes, notably the 'Serie 6000' manufactured by the abovementioned company Fairlight Technische en Wetenschappelijke Apparaten BV, were as yet being manufactured in the Community; whereas the 'Serie 6000' did not in fact become available until January 1980; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus described as 'Apollo - Tunable CO2 Laser, model 560' was therefore justified;
Whereas Decision 82/649/EEC should therefore be repealed,
The apparatus described as 'Apollo - Tunable CO2 Laser, model 560', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 26 February 1982, may be imported free of import duties.
Decision 82/649/EEC is hereby repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(1) Whereas pursuant to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 the minimum price to be paid to producers is to be determined on the basis of the minimum price applying during the previous marketing year, changes in prices in the fruit and vegetable sector and the need to ensure the normal marketing of fresh products for the various uses, including supply to the processing industry;
(2) Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2022/92(3), which lays down detailed rules of application for the minimum price to be paid to producers for certain tomatoes used in the production of tomato concentrate, juice and flakes on the basis of the soluble dry weight content, should continue to apply;
(3) Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the aid fixed or calculated before the reduction provided for in paragraph 10 of that Article for the previous marketing year, adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price to be paid to producers and the difference between the cost of the raw material in the Community and in the major competing third countries; whereas, in respect of tomato concentrates, preserved whole peeled and unpeeled tomatoes and tomato juices, changes in the volume and prices of imports must be taken into consideration;
(4) Whereas Article 4(10) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 stipulates that the aid set for tomato concentrates and their derivatives is to be reduced by 5,37 %; whereas a supplement to the reduced aid is to be paid on the basis of the quantities of tomato concentrate produced for France and Portugal;
(5) 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,

(3) To that end, a higher degree of flexibility as concerns the period of validity of the document of origin as stipulated in Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1439/95 should be allowed to the extent that the authorities of the third country concerned may issue such documents with a period of validity of less than three months from the date of issue.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
In Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2233/2003, the following subparagraph is added:"By way of derogation from Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1439/95, the issuing authorities of Australia and New Zealand may, until 30 April 2004, issue documents of origin with a validity period of less than three months from their actual date of issue."
