COMMISSION DECISION

of 18 May 1982

amending Decision 78/975/ECSC on the authorization of special Deutsche Bundesbahn tariffs in favour of coal and steel producers in the Saar

(Only the German text is authentic)

(82/445/ECSC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the fourth paragraph of Article 70 thereof;

Whereas, in Decision 78/975/ECSC (1), the Commission, after a thorough examination of the situation as a whole in the coal and steel industries in the Saar and taking into account in particular the programme under way for the restructuring and adjustment of these industries, the completion of which was scheduled for 1983, authorized the application of special Deutsche Bundesbahn tariff Nos 188, 196, 197, 263, 270, 273 and of tariff No 9133 in favour of coal and steel producers in the Saar until 31 December 1983;

Whereas, moreover, the planned restructuring operations were expected to start to improve significantly the competitiveness of the producers concerned in the course of 1981, and the Commission accordingly decided that the tariff reductions should be decreased somewhat as from 1 January 1982;

Whereas, by letter of 17 September 1981 and telex of 15 April 1982, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany requested that application of these tariffs be further extended until 31 December 1988;

Whereas the support tariffs in question are similar to operational aid; whereas it is therefore important that the Commission should abide by the principles governing aid to the steel industry;

Whereas the Court of Justice has decided that a time limit should be specified for this Decision;

Whereas the predictions made in 1978 that the competitiveness of the producers concerned would begin to improve in 1981 have not fully materialized; whereas additional restructuring measures would therefore appear to be required involving further reductions in some of the production capacity in the Saar; whereas the restoration of the competitiveness of the producers concerned will be delayed;

Whereas, in view of this additional restructuring, it would seem to be justified to extend for one year application of the tariffs authorized by the above-mentioned Decision 78/975/ECSC, to postpone until 1 January 1984 the commencement of the tariff reductions and to eliminate the special tariff in two stages,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Commission Decision 78/975/ECSC is hereby amended as follows:

1. The date '31 December 1983' in Article 2 is replaced by '31 December 1984'.

2. Article 3 (1) is replaced by the following:

'1. that the tariff reductions on the tariffs usually applied shall be decreased by at least 50 % on 1 January 1984 and that they shall be completely abolished on 31 December 1984.'

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 13 July 1982

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Digital Oscilloscope, model Explorer II' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/510/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 7 January 1982, 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 'Nicolet - Digital Oscilloscope, model Explorer II', ordered on 15 December 1980 and to be used for the study and recording of fast events in photosynthesis, 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 14 May 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 an oscilloscope, 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 'Nicolet - Digital Oscilloscope, model Explorer II', which is the subject of an application by Germany of 7 January 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Aminco - Spectrofluorometer, model J 4-8970' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/482/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

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 29 December 1981, Belgium 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 'Aminco - Spectrofluorometer, model J 4-8970', ordered 16 November 1978 and to be used for research in the field of biochemistry, enzyme kinetics and the binding of carbohydrates to proteins, specially by the continuous titration of the fluorescence and the kinetics of fast reactions, 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 14 May 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 spectrofluorometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the resolution power of the spectrum 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 'SFR 100' manufactured by Baird Atomic Ltd, East Street, UK-Braintree, Essex and to the apparatus 'JY 3 C' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91163 Longjumeau Cédex,
