COMMISSION DECISION

of 20 January 1984

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Biomed - Soft Laser Scanning Densitometer, model SL-504 XL TRFF' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(84/52/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 14 July 1983, 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 'Biomed - Soft Laser Scanning Densitometer, model SL-504 XL TRFF', ordered on 20 November 1980 and intended to be used for the quantitation and graphic representation of separated proteins in polymer gels and in particular of the terminal oxidase iso-enzymes of exogenous metabolism in pig's liver, 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 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 a laser densitometer; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, in particular the absorption range and the resolution power are not of the nature which would confer upon it this character; 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 therefore is not justified,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as 'Biomed - Soft Laser Scanning Densitometer, model SL-504 XL TRFF', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 14 July 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 28 February 1984

establishing that the apparatus described as 'SPEX - Double Spectrometer, model 1403' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(84/126/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 25 August 1983, 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 'SPEX - Double Spectrometer, model 1403', ordered on 14 September 1981 and intended to be used for Raman spectroscopy on liquid layers and membranes and in particular for resolving spectra, 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 17 February 1984 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 spectrometer;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the resolution power, 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 'Ramanor U 1000' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91163 Longjumeau,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as 'SPEX - Double Spectrometer, model 1403', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 25 August 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas on 15 July 1983 the Danish Government submitted the programme for the manufacture of processed fruit and vegetable products;

Whereas the said programme relates to the rationalization and increasing of processing capacities of fruit and vegetables, with the aim of maintaining the competitivity of this sector and finding new sales outlets; whereas the programme therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

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 they refer mainly to the processing of raw materials originating in Denmark,

- whether the new capacities will actually find the sales outlets envisaged in the programme,

- whether the conditions of Articles 9 and 18 of the abovementioned Regulation are fulfilled;

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

Whereas the programme can be approved only for applications foreseen under Article 24 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The programme for the manufacture of processed fruit and vegetable products, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, submitted by the Danish Government on 15 July 1983 is hereby approved.
