(83/564/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

Whereas, by letter dated 27 April 1983, Italy 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 'Narco Scientific - Air Oculoplethysmograph, model 200, with accessories', ordered on 15 September 1981 and intended to be used for the direct study of cerebral perfusion, using recordings of sphygmic variations in the central axis of the retina, 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 17 October 1983 within he framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a diagnostic apparatus;
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 apparatus described as 'Narco Scientific - Air Oculoplethysmograph, model 200, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 27 April 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
