COMMISSION DECISION

of 26 February 1982

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - differential scanning calorimeter, model DSC-2' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/185/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 28 August 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 'Perkin-Elmer - differential scanning calorimeter, model DSC-2', to be used for research into the thermal behaviour and polymorphism of pharmaceutical substances for the study of polymers, for the purity determination, the characterization and analysis of reactions and transformations to the solid state, 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 15 December 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 calorimeter; 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 'Perkin-Elmer - differential scanning calorimeter, model DSC-2', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 28 August 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic)

(82/337/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

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), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas on 24 September 1980 the Belgian Government submitted a programme for the fisheries sector and on 21 October 1981 sent further information on that programme;

Whereas the aim of the programme is the fuller exploitation of available resources; whereas it seeks to promote the development, restructuring and modernization of existing canning, processing and marketing installations and equipment for fishery products; whereas the programme also aims to improve the quality of finished products and to promote the marketing of new products, thus increasing the value added to the basic products; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the programme can only be approved subject to decisions to be taken on the common fisheries policy;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, projects drawn up within the framework of the programme must contribute to improving the situation of Community fishermen; whereas this does not seem to be the case with cold stores not directly linked to production, processing or marketing facilities for fishery products;

Whereas the programme includes sufficient of the information referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 to show that the objectives specified in Article 1 of that Regulation may be achieved for the fisheries sector in Belgium;

Whereas the period fixed for the execution of the programme does not exceed that specified in Article 3 (1) (g) of the said Regulation;

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