(82/64/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 18 May 1981, the Government of 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 'Varian-Leed/Auger optics, model 981-0127, with Leed/Auger electron gun, model 981-2125, power module, model 981-2145 and Leed module, model 981-2148', to be used for the analysis of structures of single-crystal surfaces and of the structure and dynamics of adsorbates on such surfaces, 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 30 October 1981, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an optical apparatus; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the high sensitivity and the degree of precision at the analysis of the surfaces of the cristals 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'Varian-Leed/Auger optics, model 981-0127, with Leed/Auger electron gun, model 981-2125, power module model 981-2145 and Leed module, model 981-2148', which is the subject of an application by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany of 18 May 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
