Whereas approval of the programme does not affect the decisions which are taken pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 on the Community financing of projects, in particular as regards an examination as to whether the new capacities in the sectors of wet preserves of fruit and vegetables, pickles and deep-frozen products will actually find the sales outlets envisaged in the programme;

Whereas approval of the programme is only given under reserve of the policy to be adopted by the Community for marketing and processing of agricultural products after expiry of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the programme contains the details referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, showing that the objectives laid down in Article 1 of the said Regulation can be achieved in respect of the concerned sector; whereas the schedule for implementation of the programme, does not exceed the time limit laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of this Regulation;

COMMISSION DECISION

of 28 January 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'WMI - Radio-Tracking Transmitter' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/61/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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (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 26 August 1982, France 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 'WMI - Radio-Tracking Transmitter', ordered in November 1981 and intended to be used for research into the characterization of the movements and the rhythm of activity of wild European mammals, 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 15 December 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 transmitter;

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 'WMI - Radio-Tracking Transmitter', which is the subject of an application by France of 26 August 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 7 April 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Ithaco - Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 393 with accessories' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/175/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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (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 September 1982, 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 'Ithaco - Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 393 with accessories', ordered on 5 May 1982 and intended to be used as a measuring amplifier in light-diffusion experiments on silicon, 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 2 February 1983, 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;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the very high suppression of the signal and noise harmonics, 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, in particular, to the apparatus 'TE 9602' manufactured by Tekelec Airtronic SA, rue Carle-Vernet, F-92310 Sèvres and to the apparatus '5205' and '5206' manufactured by Brookdeal Electronics Ltd, Doncaster House, Doncaster Road, UK-Bracknell RG12 4PG, Berks,
