Whereas, by letter dated 22 September 1982, the Netherlands 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 'UTI - Precision Mass Analyzer, model UTI 100 C' ordered on 9 October 1981 and intended to be used for the study of short-lived molecules in the gas-phase and in particular for the analysis according to mass of the ions formed and for the measurement of the electrons and ions in coincidence, 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 1 March 1983, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements, to examine the matter;
