Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 897/98 (4), lays down the special detailed rules of application for export refunds on milk and milk products; whereas Article 9a of that Regulation provides that export licences for cheese exported to the United States of America as part of the additional quota arising from the agreements under the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations may be allocated in accordance with a special procedure allowing the designation of preferential importers to the United States;
Whereas the acceptance of applications for export licences is subject to presentation of an attestation from the designated importer stating that he is eligible under the rules in force in the United States concerning the issue of import licences; whereas, however, experience has shown that an importer may be refused a licence by the American authorities without cause; whereas, to guarantee that the objective of the arrangements is achieved under such circumstances, provision should be made for the operator to designate another importer from among those whom the Commission has already notified to the competent authorities of the United States;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

In Article 9a(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1466/95, the following subparagraph is added:
'In the case where an import licence is not allocated to the importer designated by an operator for the quantities concerned, in circumstances which do not cast doubt on the sincerity of the attestation referred to in paragraph 2, the operator may be authorised by the Member State to designate another importer provided the latter appears on the list communicated to the competent authority of the United States of America, in accordance with the first subparagraph. The Member State shall inform the Commission as soon as possible and the Commission shall notify the competent authority of the United States of America of the change of designated importer.`
Article 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 28 February 1980, the British Government 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 "Tuthill-8" Celestron Schmidt Camera with accessories', to be used for the photography of astronomically faint objects at a number of wavelengths in order to measure their linear polarization, 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 24 June 1980 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an astronomical photographically 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,
