THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 974/71 of 12 May 1971 on certain measures of conjunctural policy to be taken in agriculture following the temporary widening of the margins of fluctuation for the currencies of certain Member States (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1523/80 (2), and in particular Article 6 (1) thereof,

Whereas monetary compensatory amounts are applicable in trade in products of the beef and veal sector between Ireland and the United Kingdom ; whereas. in view of the nature of the common land frontier between these two Member States, live bovine animals are fraudulently imported into the United Kingdom, which results in the non-payment of the monetary compensatory amounts applicable in trade between the two Member States;

Whereas detailed rules for the application of monetary compensatory amounts were laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1380/75 of the Commission (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3476/80 (4);

Whereas live bovine animals originating in Ireland, for which no proof is presented to the satisfaction of the United Kingdom authorities that the monetary compensatory amount applicable in trade between these two Member States has been levied, are liable, under national law, to be forfeited;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1380/75 the competent authorities of Ireland and the United Kingdom shall undertake effective measures of cooperation to ensure by all administrative means necessary that the monetary compensatory amounts applicable in trade between the two Member States in live bovine animals are levied.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Commission Decision

of 11 May 1981

establishing that the apparatus described as "Hewlett Packard computing calculator, model HP 9815 A" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(81/355/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 22 October 1980, the Government of 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 "Hewlett Packard computing calculator, model HP 9815 A", to be used for the following researches :

- effect of the continuous or pulsed light quality and quantity on the growth of plants,

- determination of action spectra for flower initiation and other biological phenomena using narrow band width radiation sources from UV to near IR spectra regions,

- determination of variation of light quality as a function of time of day/night,

- location of photosensitive pigments within plants,

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 2784/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 5 March 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 computer ;

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 "Hewlett Packard computing calculator, model HP 9815 A" which is the subject of an application by the Government of the United Kingdom of 22 October 1980 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

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 30 October 1980, 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-crystallographic system, model R3m", to be used for research into X-ray structural studies of molecular constitution, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is curently 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 26 March 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 computor-controlled diffractometer;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the accuracy of the data relating to the study of molecular constitution and the use to whch it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same knd 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 "CAD4SDP" manufactured by Enraf-Nonius, Rontgenweg 1, NL-Delft,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as "Nicolet-crystallographic system, model R3m", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 30 October 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
