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 (82/516/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 in January 1981 and to be used for the study of crucial questions in the field of psychophysiological activation research in a laboratory field comparison in order to evaluate the external validity of psychophysiological activation diagnosis, 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

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION

of 21 July 1982

under the Treaties, concerning fishery activities in waters under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Member States, taken on a temporary basis pending the adoption of permanent Community measures

(82/498/EEC)

The Council refers to its declaration of 30 May 1980 on the common fisheries policy (1).

Pending a decision in this area and bearing in mind the Community's exclusive competence in the matter and the obligations on the Member States as defined by the Court of Justice, the Council has decided as follows:

From 24 July 1982 pending a Council decision or until 22 September 1982, whichever is the earlier, the Member States shall conduct their fishing activities in accordance with the usual seasonal cycles, taking into account the TACs proposed by the Commission on 21 June 1982, as amended on 29 June and 21 July 1982, and the portion of those TACs which remains available to the Community bearing in mind its commitments to third countries.

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Fourier Transform Infrared System, model 7199' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/581/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 9 February 1982, 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 'Nicolet - Fourier Transform Infrared System, model 7199' ordered on 17 June 1981 and to be used for research in spectroscopy and kinetics of unstable inorganic species, at low temperature, in solid noble gas matrices and in liquid noble gases as solvents, 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 2 July 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 spectrometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the high degree of the resolution, 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 'IFS 113' manufactured by Bruker Physik AG, Silberstreifen, 7512 Karlsruhe - Rheinstetten, Germany,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Fourier Transform Infrared System, model 7199', which is subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 9 February 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
