Whereas, by letter dated 21 January 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 "Dionex auto ion TM system 12 S analyzer", to be used for research into the chemical structure of temperate ice cores and into the environmental chemistry, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
