COMMISSION DECISION

of 21 December 1981

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Baird-Fluorocomp-TLS system, model TLS-1000' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/66/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 27 May 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 'Baird-Fluorocomp-TLS system, model TLS-1000', to be used for the application of luminescence technique in the identification of crude oil and related materials, 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 18 November 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 spectrofluorometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the analytical output, the high sensitivity 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 'Baird-Fluorocomp-TLS system, model TLS 1000', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 27 May 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

COMMISSION DECISION

of 27 January 1982

authorizing the extension of the period for informing the competent agency of the results of an invitation to tender in Algeria in the milk and milk products sector

(82/101/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Articles 13 (3) and 17 (4) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 of 14 September 1981 laying down special rules implementing the system of import and export licences and the advance fixing of refunds in respect of milk and milk products (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 45/82 (3), and in particular Article 15 (3) thereof,

Whereas Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 makes provision for extending the period of 40 days following the time limit for submission of tenders within which an applicant for a licence must inform the issuing agency of the results of an invitation to tender issued by a public authority in a non-member country; whereas a Member State has submitted an application, within the prescribed conditions, for extension of such period where the party concerned is unable to know the results of a special invitation to tender in Algeria before expiry of the prescribed period, for reasons which are beyond his control; whereas the specifications for that invitation to tender include a period within which the public authority of the non-member country in question is to decide on acceptance of tenders, exceeding the usual period by 50 days;

Whereas it seems proper in the existing market situation to take a measure to facilitate possible supply of the quantities of butter concerned by the Community; whereas the period for informing the competent agency of the results of the invitation to tender should accordingly be extended; whereas provision should also be made for the security to be forfeit in this case if the applicant for a licence does not inform the competent agency of the results of the invitation to tender before expiry of the period thus extended,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

For the invitation to tender for 6 000 tonnes of butter, issued by the Office National de Commercialisation (ONACO) in Algeria, where the time limit for submission of tenders is 11 December 1981, the period of 40 days referred to in Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 is hereby extended by 50 days as from the date of expiry of the period initially laid down.

If the party concerned does not inform the issuing agency of the results of the invitation to tender before the expiry of the period thus extended, the security shall be forfeit.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 27 January 1982

derogating from High Authority recommendation No 1-64 concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community

(111th derogation)

(82/114/ECSC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,

Having regard to High Authority recommendation No 1-64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by recommendation 81/772/ECSC (2),

Whereas, for a number of years, the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community meeting within the Council have granted non-member countries covered by the generalized preferences scheme tariff advantages in respect of imports into the Community of certain ECSC iron and steel products in the form of total tariff suspensions without quantitative limits for certain types of product or total tariff suspensions within the limits of quotas either fixed or to be calculated for other types of product;

Whereas the Commission is involved in the negotiation of such concessions and in the decisions of the representatives of the Governments implementing them; whereas the decisions in question are taken with the Commission's full agreement;

Whereas such concessions are covered by Article 3 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64, under which the Commission, after consulting the Member States, can for reasons of commercial policy derogate from the tariff obligations laid down by the recommendation;

Whereas the most recent decision of the Member States establishing tariff concessions was adopted, with the Commission's agreement on 7 December 1981 and meets the requirements laid down in Article 3 of the recommendation for the granting of a derogation, that as a consequence it is appropriate to grant the derogation for the concessions in questions;

Whereas the Member States have been consulted on this draft decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from the obligations arising under Article 1 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64 to the extent necessary to apply, on imports from non-member countries of iron and steel products covered by the ECSC Treaty, the duty suspensions resulting from the Decision of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community of 7 December 1981.

Article 2

This Decision is applicable with effect from 1 January 1982 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1982.

Article 3

COMMISSION DECISION

of 26 February 1982

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Cray-Computer System, model Cray-1' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/184/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 3 September 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 'Cray-Computer System, model Cray-1' to be used for fundamental research into possible energy production by means of nuclear fusion and in particular for the peformance of calculations of magnetic fields, of strength calculations relating to the vessel and coils employed in the reactor experiment, 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 4 February 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 computer; 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 'Cray-Computer System, model Cray-1', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic Germany of 3 September 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
