An application for a TUE will be reviewed by a Therapeutic Use Exemption Committee (TUEC).

If upon filing of the action the plaintiff applies for the exemption from payment of court fees, the judge shall be bound forthwith and not later than within fifteen days to decide upon his application.

Under Article 13(2) of the Protocol, the authorities of the Republic of Slovenia shall grant exemption from national taxes to the persons provided for in Article 2 of Council Regulation No 260/68(*4), who are subject to Community taxation on their wages, salaries and emoluments paid by the Communities in application of Council Regulation No 259/68(*5) with respect to such wages, salaries and emoluments.

Without prejudice to any application for individual exemption that may be made, the justification of any price agreement in terms of Article 85 (3) would be the subject of very rigorous examination by the Commission.

(1) The reduction of the tax rate or exemption from payment of the tax for an environmental strain during the execution of a rehabilitation program shall be determined by the Minister after an application from the party responsible who must include with the application a rehabilitation or other program for the minimization of pollution.

1.The exemption from set-aside provided for in Article 55 (a) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 shall apply for a number of hectares not higher than the number of set-aside entitlements which a farmer received in the first year of application of the single payment scheme.

For the products contained in the list appearing in Annex XVIII, the basic duties adopted for alignment on the Common Customs Tariff and the ECSC unified tariff shall be the duties resulting from the application by the Portuguese Republic, on 1 January 1985, of tariff exemptions (total suspensions) and tariff reductions (partial suspensions).

In order to take account of developments on financial markets, and to ensure the uniform application of this Directive, the Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 64(2), may, in respect of exemptions (c) (i), and (k) define the criteria for determining when an activity is to be considered as ancillary to the main business on a group level as well as for determining when an activity is provided in an incidental manner.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 543/2004(4), provides that, other than for certain exemptions, the granting of export refunds on goods is conditional on production of a refund certificate.

When a person who is normally resident in Gibraltar, or who has been required, since he last arrived in Gibraltar, to pay contributions under the legislation of Gibraltar as an employed person, applies, as a result of incapacity to work, maternity or unemployment, for exemption from the payment of contributions over a certain period, and asks for contributions for that period to be credited to him, any period during which that person has been working in the territory of a Member State other than the United Kingdom shall, for the pursposes of his application, be regarded as a period during which he has been employed in Gibraltar and for which he has paid contributions as an employed person in accordance with the legislation of Gibraltar.

During the period referred to in Article 10(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001(8), notwithstanding paragraph 1(a), (b) and (d), where C sugar is imported into the Canary Islands or into Madeira in the form of white sugar falling within CN code 1701 or into the Azores in the form of raw sugar falling within CN code 1701 12 10 under the scheme of exemption from import duties provided for in Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001(9) or Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001(10), it shall be regarded as being exported to a third country within the meaning of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and originating in that third country for the purposes of the application of the said scheme."

Under these particular circumstances it was considered acceptable not to levy the duty on such imports occurring after the application for exemption.

For these same reasons, it is decided that camera models of JVC also subject to the present examination should be exempted from the duty from the date of receipt of the application for exemption by the Commission, i.e. from 17 April 2001,

Therefore, it is decided that imports of camera models of Ikegami subject to the present examination imported on a date on or after the date of receipt of the application for exemption, i.e. on or after 12 October 2001, should be exempted from the duty.

Hence, whilst requests for retroactive effect from the date of receipt of the application for exemption can be considered, it is not appropriate to extend retroactive effect to imports that have taken place before a request was made, taking account in particular of the serious risk of circumvention of the measures.

Vehicles first registered no more than two years before the date of application for an exemption shall also be considered eligible.

It is the Commission's task to decide on the actual application of that provision in the same way as for the other exemption clauses in Article 87(3).

The Centre for administration of import duty, exemption and drawback (Bapeksta) can grant, upon application, the exemption or restitution of import duty as well as the non-imposition of value added tax (PPN) and sales tax on luxury goods (PPnBM) on the import of goods for further processing for export.

However, the application of the exemption from the visa requirement for nationals of certain third countries, which are listed in Annex II, will come into force only later.

CONSIDERING that limited exemptions are necessary for some applications in the production of magnesium and aluminium alloys to give small and medium-sized foundries a reasonable period for adaptation,

Markets may also need to be defined in the application of Article 85 of the Treaty, in particular, in determining whether an appreciable restriction of competition exists or in establishing if the condition pursuant to Article 85 (3) (b) for an exemption from the application of Article 85 (1) is met.

Accordingly, if such exemptions are necessary to ensure the adoption or continued application of taxes applicable to all products, the Commission takes the view that they are acceptable, subject to certain conditions and for a limited period of time.

The exemption or reduction in taxation resulting from the application of the reduced rate laid down in paragraph 1 may not be greater than the amount of taxation payable on the volume of the products referred to in paragraph 1 present in the products eligible for the reduction.

As a result, should exemption from the duty be granted retroactively to a date before the date of receipt of the application by the Commission, there would be no risk borne by exporting producers seeking to avoid payment of the duty by first importing their camera models under inappropriate CN codes, thus avoiding the duty, and then subsequently applying for an exemption from the date of first importation if and when the irregularities come to the authorities' attention.

In the event that the Commission finds that the operation notified does not constitute a concentration within the meaning of Article 3 of the Merger Regulation, do you request that it be treated as an application for negative clearance from, or a notification to obtain an exemption from Article 85 of the EC Treaty?

The establishment by a third country on the list in Annex II of the visa requirement for nationals of a Member State shall give rise to the application of the following provisions, without prejudice to the provisions of any agreement which the Community may have concluded with that third country granting exemption from the visa requirement:

In application of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the quantities of the forecast supply balance with products from the eggs and poultrymeat sectors which benefit from the exemption from the import duty on products, or which benefit from Community aid for products coming from the rest of the Community, shall be as fixed in Annex I hereto.

Whereas, until 31 December 2000 at the latest, in two five-year stages as part of a dynamic process in conjunction with the gradual entry of the Canary Islands into the customs union, it is desirable to authorize a number of total or partial exemptions for local products from application of the new so-called 'arbitrio sur la production et sur les importations (APIM)' (tax on production and imports) tax, provided that these exemptions contribute to promotion of local activities; whereas, however, application of this charge should be suspended for products coming under the common agricultural policy until the application of that policy, it being understood that, when these products are imported from non-member countries, the provisions in force in the Canary Islands in respect of trade with such countries shall be maintained until the same date;

In addition to the general provisions set out in Directive 92/12/EEC on exempt uses of taxable products, and without prejudice to other Community provisions, Member States shall exempt the following from taxation under conditions which they shall lay down for the purpose of ensuring the correct and straightforward application of such exemptions and of preventing any evasion, avoidance or abuse:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds( fn ), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 543/2004( fn ), provides that, other than for certain exemptions, the granting of export refunds on goods is conditional on production of a refund certificate.

Whereas as regards exports to the United States (Zone E) there exist cases of non-fixing of the refund for certain milk products; whereas provision should also be made for an exemption when determining the lowest rate of the refund in cases where the measures introduced in the United States guarantee that the products which have benefited from a refund for other destinations may not be imported into Zone E; whereas experience has shown that the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation may be covered by this exemption not only as regards the application of Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 192/76 but also that of Articles 2 (4) and 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/69; whereas these exemptions should be abolished for the products in respect of which the above conditions are no longer met; whereas such a provision was provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 518/76;

(1) In application of Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 it is necessary to determine for the eggs and poultrymeat sectors and for the 2001/02 marketing year, on the one hand, the quantities of meat and eggs of the forecast supply balance which benefit from an exemption from the duty on imports from third countries or from an aid for deliveries originating in the rest of the Community, and on the other hand, the quantities of breeding material originating in the Community which benefit from an aid with a view to developing the potential for production in the archipelago of the Canaries.

(22) The importance of updating the lists of products in the Annex, made necessary by the possible emergence of new production activities in the DOMs, of safeguarding local production if it is threatened by certain commercial practices, and, consequently, of the need to change the amount of exemptions from or reductions in the dues applicable mean that the Council itself must be able to adopt the measures necessary for the application of this Decision, particularly as such measures may have a major budgetary impact for the recipients of dock dues revenue.

When a person who is normally resident in Gibraltar, or who has been required, since he last arrived in Gibraltar, to pay contributions under the legislation of Gibraltar as an employed person, applies, as a result of incapacity to work, maternity or unemployment, for exemption from the payment of contributions over a certain period, and asks for contributions for that period to be credited to him, any period during which that person has been working in the territory of a Member State other than the United Kingdom shall, for the purposes of his application, be regarded as a period during which he has been employed in Gibraltar and for which he has paid contributions as an employed person in accordance with the legislation of Gibraltar.

In the case of credit institutions other than those which are set up in areas newly reclaimed from the sea or have resulted from scission or mergers of existing institutions dependent or answerable to the central body, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, which shall for this purpose, consult the Banking Advisory Committee, may lay down additional rules for the application of the second subparagraph including the repeal of exemptions provided for in the first subparagraph, where it is of the opinion that the affiliation of new institutions benefiting from the arrangements laid down in the second subparagraph might have an adverse effect on competition.

In order to ensure the effective respect and monitoring of the undertaking, when the request for release for free circulation pursuant to the undertaking is presented, exemption from the duty is conditional upon presentation to the customs service of the Member State concerned a valid 'Commercial Invoice' issued by Futura Polymers Ltd and containing the information listed in the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000. Where no such invoice is presented, or when it does not correspond to the product presented to customs, the appro priate rate of anti-dumping duty should be payable in order to ensure the effective application of the undertaking.
