(82/482/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

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 29 December 1981, Belgium 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 'Aminco - Spectrofluorometer, model J 4-8970', ordered 16 November 1978 and to be used for research in the field of biochemistry, enzyme kinetics and the binding of carbohydrates to proteins, specially by the continuous titration of the fluorescence and the kinetics of fast reactions, 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 14 May 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 spectrofluorometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the resolution power of the spectrum 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 'SFR 100' manufactured by Baird Atomic Ltd, East Street, UK-Braintree, Essex and to the apparatus 'JY 3 C' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91163 Longjumeau Cédex,
