COMMISSION DECISION
of 6 August 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Packard - Auto-Gamma Spectrometer, model, 5912' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/582/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 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 27 January 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 - Auto-Gamma Spectrometer, model 5912', ordered on 31 March 1980 and to be used for the study, by using radioactive isotopes, of iron metabolism and its interaction with other heavy metals, of the water and electrolyte transfer in rats' colons and of the behaviour of Na+ channels from an electrophorus, 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 15 July 1982 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 gamma counter; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the number of channels and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'CG4000 couplé à IN45' manufactured by Roche bioéléctronique Kontron, 2, avenue du Manet, Montigny-le-Bretonneux, France,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
