COMMISSION DECISION of 8 October 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Packard-2425 tri-carb spectrometer with teleprinter" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/845/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 3 April 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 "Packard-2425 tri-carb spectrometer with teleprinter" to be used for research on dysendocrine and dysmetabolic states with particular reference to growth disorders, 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 9 July 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 liquid scintillation spectrometer;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision of the spectrum analysis and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas, morever, 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 "SL 4000", manufactured by Intertechnique, F-78370 Plaisir, to the apparatus "PW 4540", manufactured by Philips Nederland BV, Boschdijk 525, NL-Eindhoven, and to the apparatus "Isocap 300", manufactured by G.D. Searle Nederland BV, Wiegerbruinlaan 75, NL-Uithoorn,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as "Packard-2425 tri-carb spectrometer with teleprinter", which is the subject of an application by Italy of 3 April 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 8 October 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "Virtis homogenizer, model 45" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/839/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 8 April 1981, 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 "Virtis homogenizer, model 45", to be used for research into diseases caused by fungal and bacterial pathogens and in particular for the maceration of plant samples or culture media to very fine levels, 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 9 July 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 homogenizer;

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 "Virtis homogenizer, model 45", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 8 April 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas the said Article 5 of the Law No 423 of 1 August 1981 satisfy the conditions and are consistent with the objectives of Title II of the said Directive;

Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The provisions existing in Italy for the implementation of the reform of agricultural structures pursuant to Title II of Directive 75/268/EEC continue, having regard to Article 5 of the Law No 423 of 1 August 1981 "Agricultural measures", notified on 2 September 1981, to satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to common measures within the meaning of Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC and Article 13 of Directive 75/268/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 14 April 1981, 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 "Digilab FTS-IR spectrometer, model FTS-20", to be used for a study of absorption of gases on surfaces of catalytic importance, also of inorganic molecules and chemical species isolated in inert gas matrices by vibrational spectroscopy, 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 25 September 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 spectrometer;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics, in particular those of the energetic flux used in the vibrational spectroscopy 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-113V" manufactured by Bruker Physik AG, Silberstreifen, 7512 Karlsruhe-Rheinstetten, Federal Republic of Germany,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as "Digilab FTS-IR spectrometer, model FTS-20" which is subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 14 April 1981 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
