COMMISSION DECISION of 15 September 1981 authorizing the Italian Republic to exempt from application of Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70 on the introduction of recording equipment in road transport the vehicles referred to in Article 14a (3) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 (Only the Italian text is authentic) (81/790/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70 of 20 July 1970 on the introduction of recording equipment in road transport (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2828/77 (2), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof,

Whereas the Italian Government has asked the Commission to authorize exemption from Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70 of the vehicles referred to in Article 14a (3) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 on the harmonization of certain social legislation relating to road transport (3);

Whereas this measure can have no repercussions on the situation as regards competition in the carriage of goods by road ; whereas, it can, moreover, in no way hinder the achievement of the aims of the social regulations applying to road transport;

Whereas the vehicles referred to above, which are in any case very small in number, are all intended for own-account operations having a negligible economic impact ; whereas they furthermore are normally used over very short distances and in consequence the drivers' hours are limited;

Whereas the transport operations in question are not intended to benefit from exemptions from Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 and will therefore continue to be governed by its provisions, and in particular that concerning the use of individual drivers' control books;

Whereas this measure will relate solely to the movement of the vehicles concerned on national territory and will not extend to their use in international transport operations,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Italian Republic is hereby authorized to exempt from the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70 the vehicles referred to in Article 14a (3) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 543/69.

Article 2

The Italian Republic shall inform the Commission of the measures taken in order to implement this Decision.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

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 16 June 1981, 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 'Jeol scanning electron microscope, model JSM-35C', to be used for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of crystal phases brought about by heat treatment in glasses and glass ceramics served for the solidification of highly radioactive nuclear waste, 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 18 November 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 an electron microscope; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the very high 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;
