Whereas, by letter dated 19 March 1980, the Dutch Government 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 "Evans and Sutherland-Picture System 2", to be used to design and perfect models for command and control, detection and tracking methods for an experimental phased array radar installation, 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;
