COMMISSION DECISION of 4 December 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "PAR - lock-in amplifier, model 5203, with tuned amplifier option, model 5203/98" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/1028/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, Italy 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 "PAR - lock-in amplifier, model 5203, with tuned amplifier option, model 5203/98", to be used for analysis of trace metals, 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 an amplifier equiped with a preamplifier;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision 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, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community ; whereas this applies to the apparatus manufactured by Brookdeal Electronics Ltd, Doncaster House, Doncaster Road, UK-Bracknell, Berks. RG12 4PG,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as "PAR - lock-in amplifier, model 5203, with tuned amplifier option, model 5203/98", which is the subject of an application by Italy of 27 May 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing a single Council and a single Commission of the European Communities, and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Having regard to the Protocol on the privileges and immunities of the European Communities, and in particular Articles 20 and 21 thereof,

Whereas it is for the Council to determine the salaries, allowances and pensions of members and former members of the institutions as well as any allowance representing remuneration;

Whereas the specific difficulties of the economic and social situation necessitate the introduction of a special levy assessed on the basis of the economic data reflecting the average gaps recorded in the Member States between the trend in real per capita wages and salaries and the trend in: - total productivity (GDP in volume terms per personemployed),

- productivity available for distribution (i.e.productivity corrected for terms of trade),

- productivity per member of the active population,including persons in employment and theunemployed,

(82/59/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 10 June 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 'Tracor gas chromatograph, model 560, with detector, model Hall 700A and hydrogen generator, model 15 EHG 2B4', to be used for geochemical prospecting analyses on solid samples, 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 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 gas chromatograph;

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 'Tracor gas chromatograph, model 560, with detector, model Hall 700A and hydrogen generator, model 15 EHG 2B4', which is the subject of an application by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany of 10 June 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

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 17 July 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 'SLM spectrofluorometer, model SLM 4800', to be used for the study of protein-lipid and protein-protein interactions in biological membranes and in particular for the measurement of the fluorescence lifetime and of differential dynamic polarization in specimens, 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;
