COMMISSION DECISION of 12 October 1993 terminating the review of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3905/88 concerning imports of polyester yarn originating in Turkey
(93/537/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having informed the EEC-Turkey Association Council pursuant to Article 47 (2) of the Additional Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey (2),
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 3905/88 (3), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty of 13,2 % on imports of textured polyester yarn (PTY) falling within CN codes 5402 33 10 and 5402 33 90, originating, inter alia, in Turkey, with the exception of goods produced and sold for export to the Community by several companies specifically listed as being subject to a lesser rate of duty.
(2) By a notice published on 18 March 1993 in the Official of the European Communities (4), the Commission, after consultation within the Advisory Committee and in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, initiated a review of Regulation (EEC) No 3905/88 as it concerned a Turkish company, Korteks (Bursa - Turkey). This company had submitted that it did not export the product subject to the anti-dumping duty during the previous period of investigation (1 January to 30 June 1987) but that it had the firm intention to start such exports in the near future and had already established contacts with potential customers in the European Communities.
In addition, it submitted that it was not related with any of the companies subject to the previous investigation for which dumping was found.
(3) Subsequently, on 25 August 1993, the Commission was informed by Korteks, the Turkish exporter, that it was withdrawing its request for a review of the Regulation in force because of profound changes in the market place.
In these circumstances, the Commission considers that further investigation is not necessary and the proceeding should be terminated,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Sole Article
The review of Regulation (EEC) No 3905/88 requested by Korteks (Bursa) concerning imports of polyester yarn originating in Turkey is hereby terminated.

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Photo Research - Pritchard Photometer, model 1980 A-WB with Cassegrain Telescope, model CO-1250, Scotopic Response Filter, model SF-80 and Tristimulus Filter, model TF 80' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/477/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 26 November 1981, 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 'Photo Research - Pritchard Photometer, model 1980 A-WB with Cassegrain Telescope, model CO-1250, Scotopic Response Filter, model SF-80 and Tristimulus Filter, model TF 80', ordered 15 October 1980 and to be used to measure luminance distribution, luminance, the colour of the light, the variation of the light, the cornea illumination intensity and the average ambient luminosity, 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 photometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the extension of the measuring field 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The apparatus described as 'Photo Research - Pritchard Photometer, model 1980 A-WB with Cassegrain Telescope, model CO-1250, Scotopic Response Filter, model SF-80 and Tristimulus Filter, model TF 80', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 26 November 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
