COMMISSION DECISION

of 23 December 1981

establishing that the apparatus described as 'GCA-Mc. Pherson vacuum UV monochromator, model 225.2, with Doppelgitterhalter' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/79/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 19 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 'GCA-Mc. Pherson vacuum UV monochromator, model 225.2, with Doppelgitterhalter, to be used for spectral analysis of UV light and in particular for optical investigations of solids and gases, 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 monochromator; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the very high 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as 'GCA-Mc. Pherson vacuum UV monochromator, model 225.2, with Doppelgitterhalter', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 19 June 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Directive 81/561/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,

Having regard to the request submitted by the Italian Republic,

Whereas in Italy the production of basic seed of rice (Oryza sativa L.) of the variety Balilla a grana grossa which satisfies the requirements concerning the maximum number of red grains prescribed by Directive 66/402/EEC has been insufficient in 1981 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;

Whereas this demand cannot satisfactorily be met from basic seed meeting all the requirements laid down in the said Directive from other Member States or from non-member countries;

Whereas the Italian Republic should therefore be authorized, during the period expiring on 30 June 1982, to permit the marketing of rice seed of the category of the 'basic seed' of the variety Balilla a grana grossa which satisfies less stringent requirements concerning the maximum number of red grains;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Italian Republic is hereby authorized to permit the marketing in its territory, during the period expiring on 30 June 1982, of rice seed (Oryza sativa L.) of the category of 'basic seed' of the variety Balilla a grana grossa which does not satisfy the requirements set out in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC with regard to the maximum number of red grains, under the following conditions:

(a) the quantity shall not exceed 21;5 tonnes;

(b) the number of red grains per 500 grams shall not exceed four;

(c) the official label shall bear the following endorsements:

- 'Maximum number of red grains: four per 500 grams',

- 'Intended exclusively for marketing in Italy'.

Article 2

The Italian Republic shall notify the Commission, before 31 October 1982, of the quantity of seed satisfying less stringent requirements approved for marketing in its territory pursuant to this Decision.

The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
