COMMISSION DECISION

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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (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 8 November 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Acutronic - Single Axis Rate Table, model 230 T/30 H', ordered on 10 July 1979 and intended to be used for precise measurement of laser gyros in the framework of the 'optic gyros' project, 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, however, the Federal Republic of Germany reserved its decision to the case where the object in question may be considered as an accessory;
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 11 April 1984 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the 'Acutronic - Single Axis Rate Table, model 230 T/30 H' is a precision revolving table; whereas it may not be considered as an instrument or apparatus within the meaning of Article 3 (1) of the aforementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75, but it is in fact an accessory to the gyroscope laser: whereas this precision revolving table must therefore be considered as an accessory within the meaning of Article 3 (2) (a) of the same Regulation; whereas consequently the possibility of granting the duty-free admission of this accessory may only be assessed in the light of the precisions of the aforesaid Article 3 (2) (a),
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The 'Acutronic - Single Axis Rate Table, model 230 T/30 H', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 8 November 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties as an apparatus or scientific instrument within the meaning of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75.
