By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the quantitative scale method (import goods) shall also apply to operations in which durum wheat is processed to obtain 'couscous' meal, groats and other meal.

A demonstration project is characterised by the construction and/or operation of an industrial-scale installation or a significant part of an industrial-scale installation with the aim of bringing together all the technical and economic data in order to proceed with the industrial and/or commercial exploitation of the technology at minimum risk.

Commercial production shall be deemed to have begun if an operator engages in sustained large-scale recovery operations which yield a quantity of materials sufficient to indicate clearly that the principal purpose is large-scale production rather than production intended for information gathering, analysis or the testing of equipment or plant.

Only undertakings whose premises and technical equipment are suited to the scale of their operations and which therefore permit the proper handling of eggs should be authorised to grade eggs by quality and weight.

Whereas only undertakings whose premises and technical equipment are suited to the scale of their operations, which therefore permit the proper handling of the eggs, should be authorized to collect, or to grade eggs by quality and weight;

operational aspects linked to provision of unbundled local loops (ordering and provisioning procedures and time-scales, technical qualification of loops, service level agreements, maintenance procedures, problem escalation procedures, etc),

Funds should be large enough and cover a wide enough target population to ensure that their operations are potentially economically viable, with a time scale for investments compatible with the period of the Structural Funds' participation, and focusing on areas of market deficiency.

An air carrier shall notify in advance to its licensing authority plans for: operation of a new scheduled service or a non-scheduled service to a continent or world region not previously served, changes in the type or number of aircraft used or a substantial change in the scale of its activities.

The financing proposal shall contain an advance timetable for the technical and financial implementation of the project or programme, including multi-annual programmes and global allocations for operations of a small financial scale, and shall deal with the duration of the different phases of implementation.

Consortia, as defined in this Regulation, generally help to improve the productivity and quality of available liner shipping services by reason of the rationalisation they bring to the activities of member companies and through the economies of scale they allow in the operation of vessels and utilisation of port facilities.

The Commission shall submit a report to the Council, by 31 July 2002 at the latest, on the operation of these arrangements, together with, where necessary, appropriate proposals, in particular with regard to the classification scale for carcases, with the aim of making the application, if possible, compulsory.`

On indicators having a continuous movement, after each zeroising operation the permissible difference with respect to zero must be not greater than one half of the maximum permissible error on the minimum delivery marked on the dial of the indicating mechanism, but must not exceed one-fifth of the value of the scale interval.

On 22 September 2003, the Council decided that the European Union should acquire the flexible capacity for managing the financing of common costs of military operations of any scale, complexity or urgency, in particular by setting up, by 1 March 2004, a permanent financing mechanism to assume charge of the financing of common costs of any future Union military operation.

whereas it nonetheless seems advisable to exclude from the scope of application of such standards small-scale local sales, cutting-up and boning operations at the place of sale as provided for in Article 3 (5) and (7) of Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting trade in fresh poultrymeat (3), as last amended by Directive 88/657/EEC (4), and deliveries to the food industry;

Since the objective of the proposed action, namely the creation of a fully operational internal electricity market, in which fair competition prevails, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty.

Since the objective of the proposed action, namely the creation of a fully operational internal gas market, in which fair competition prevails, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity and proportionality as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty.

A pilot project is characterised by the construction, operation and development of an installation or a significant part of an installation on an appropriate scale and using suitably large components with a view to examining the potential for putting theoretical or laboratory results into practice and/or increasing the reliability of the technical and economic data needed to progress to the demonstration stage, and in certain cases to the industrial and/or commercial stage.
