COMMISSION DECISION

of 1 September 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Li-Cor - Portable Area Meter, model Li-3000' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/454/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 8 March 1983, 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 'Li-Cor - Portable Area Meter, model Li-3000', ordered on 19 August 1982 and intended to be used for the measurement of the surface area of leaves both on the plant in the field, and in the laboratory, 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 22 June 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 measuring apparatus;

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 'Li-Cor - Portable Area Meter, model Li-3000', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 8 March 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas, under Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) 1703/72, only the value of the goods and the appropriate forwarding and distribution costs may be financed according to the relevant rules; whereas these same rules apply mutatis mutandis to operations concerning milk products; whereas the inspections carried out show that part of the expenditure declared, totalling Fl 16 446,72, does not satisfy the requirements of this provision and must therefore be disallowed; whereas the Member State has been fully informed of this deduction and has had an opportunity to state its views thereon,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3164/82 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas on 17 March 1983 the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany forwarded an amendment to the programme for the seed sector in the Land of Lower Saxony, which has been approved by the Commission Decision of 29 March 1982 (3);

Whereas the said amendment relates to the up-dating and prolongation of the programme until 1985 and is consistent with the objectives and provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

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 17 May 1983, Italy 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 'CME - Electromagnetic Blood Flowmeter Cliniflow, model 601D, with accessories', ordered on 8 Sep- tember 1981 and intended to be used for measuring blood flow, 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 November 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 electromagnetic meter; 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
