of 20 December 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Barringer - SO2/NO2 Remote Sensor Correlation Spectrometer, model Cospec V' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

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 16 June 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 'Barringer - SO2/NO2 Remote Sensor Correlation Spectrometer, model Cospec V', ordered on 10 July 1981 and to be used in an environmental research project to determine the dispersion parameters of flue gas plumes from super-power stations, 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, 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 22 October 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 spectrometer; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,

Article 1
The apparaus described as 'Barringer - SO2/NO2 Re- mote, Sensor Correlation Spectrometer, model Cospec V, which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 16 June 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
