Whereas Commission Decision 81/248/EEC (2), which replaced Annex III to the above Regulation, established the list of products originating in State trading countries whose release for free circulation in the Member States is subject to quantitative restrictions pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3286/80;

COMMISSION DECISION of 13 June 1979 refusing to accept the scientific character of the apparatus described as "Raytheon - mariner's pathfinder radar system" (79/575/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),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 15 December 1978, the United Kingdom Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Raytheon - mariner's pathfinder radar system", intended for use in radar simulator courses for Merchant Navy officers, 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 27 April 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a radar system which does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas this apparatus constitutes a special application of an instrument with normal technical characteristics ; whereas moreover it is an apparatus in current use on board sea and river-going vessels as a navigation instrument ; 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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

The apparatus described as "Raytheon - mariner's pathfinder radar system" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the implementation of a Community energy policy is one of the objectives that the Community has set itself;
Whereas the security of Community energy supplies requires the development of all its sources of energy;
