COMMISSION DECISION of 8 October 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "CME square wave electromagnetic flowmeter, model 501, with blood flow probes, model EP 1101, 5S, model EP 1102 S and model EP 1102 R" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/877/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 amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (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 7 April 1981, the United Kingdom 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 "CME square wave electromagnetic flowmeter, model 501, with blood flow probes, model EP 1101, 5S, model EP 1102 S and model EP 1102 R", to be used to measure renal blood flow, 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 9 July 1981 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 blood flowmeter;
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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as "CME square wave electromagnetic flowmeter, model 501, with blood flow probes, model EP 1101, 5S, model EP 1102 S and model EP 1102 R" which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 7 April 1981 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
