Whereas:

(2) It is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the Directive.
(3) Sweden should therefore be authorised to permit for a period expiring on 30 June 2000, the marketing of seed of the field pea variety "Carneval" subject to less stringent requirements.
(4) Moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Sweden with seed of the abovementioned variety should be authorised to permit the marketing of such seed.

COMMISSION DECISION of 10 August 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Packard-tri-carb automatic liquid scintillation system, model 460 C", may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/694/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 4 March 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 "Packard-tri-carb automatic liquid scintillation system, model 460 C", to be used for measuring the radioactivity in chemical and biological samples and also for radiocarbon dating research in fields of geology and hydrogeology, should be considered as 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 23 June 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 a liquid scintillation counter;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as "Packard-tri-carb automatic liquid scintillation system, model 460 C", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 4 March 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
