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 5 February 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the 'Jodon EA - immersion type X-Y micropositionable photographic plate holder, model MPH-45W, with beam splitter attenuator, model UBA-200 and parabolic mirrors', may not be regarded as an instrument or apparatus within the meaning of Article 3 (1) of the aforementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75, but consists in fact of three accessories of a holographic system; whereas the latter must therefore be regarded as 'accessories' within the meaning of Article 3 (2) (a) of the said Regulation; whereas the possibility of granting importation free of duties must therefore be assessed in the light of the provisions of the said Article 3 (2) (a);
Whereas the accessories in question are not suitable for use with an instrument or apparatus imported free of duties or capable of being so imported; whereas, therefore, the conditions for import free of duties are not fulfilled,
