Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2004/8/EEC provides that Member States must establish a system of guarantees of origin for electricity produced from high-efficiency cogeneration.
(2)
This electricity should be generated in a process linked to the production of useful heat and calculated in accordance with the methodology laid down in Annex II to Directive 2004/8/EC.
(3)
With an aim of ensuring a harmonised methodology for calculating the amount of electricity from cogeneration, it is necessary to adopt Guidelines clarifying the procedures and definitions laid down in Annex II to Directive 2004/8/EC.
(4)
Moreover, those Guidelines should allow Member States to fully transpose crucial parts of Directive 2004/8/EC such as guarantees of origin and establishment of support schemes for high efficiency cogeneration. They should provide further legal certainty for the energy market in the Community and thus contribute to remove barriers for new investments. They should also help to provide clear criteria when screening applications for State aid and financial support for cogeneration from Community funds.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with opinion of the Committee established by Article 14(1) of Directive 2004/8/EC,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 December 1981
establishing that the apparatus described as 'SHE variable temperature superconducting susceptometer, model VTS-50' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/63/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 15 May 1981, the Government of 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 'SHE variable temperature superconducting susceptometer, model VTS-50', to be used in the framework of a research project for measuring the physical properties of magnetic susceptibility, 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 30 October 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 susceptometer; whereas its objective technical characteristiscs such as the field and the degree of precision of the magnetic measurements 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 'SHE variable temperature superconducting susceptometer, model VTS-50', which is the subject of an application by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany of 15 May 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
