of 13 April 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Quanta Ray - Nd: YAG Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A', may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/294/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 5 October 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Quanta Ray - Nd: YAG Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A', to be used for the dynamic study of extremely fast reaction processes in gases and liquids with the aid of intense, ultra-short laser impulses, 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;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met, on 22 March 1982, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Frre Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a laser;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the regularity of the shaft and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'YG482', manufactured by Quantel, 17, avenue de l'Atlantique, 91941 Les-Ulis-Orsay F-Cedex, and to apparatus 'HY Series', manufactured by JK Lasers Ltd, Somers Road, UK-Rugby, Warwickshire CV22 7DG,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'Quanta Ray - Nd: YAG Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 5 October 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
