COMMISSION DECISION of 2 August 1979 refusing to accept the scientific character of the apparatus described as "Coherent-CO2 Surgical Laser System 400" (79/742/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),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,

Whereas, by letter dated 31 January 1979, the United Kingdom Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Coherent-CO2 Surgical Laser System 400", intended for use in clinical research and, in particular, with a view to establishing a comparison between treatment with laser radiation and conventional radiotherapy and surgery, and with a view to instruction of surgeons on the use of laser irradiation of tumors, 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 18 June 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;

Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a CO2 chirgical laser system which does not possess the requisite characteristics making it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas moreover it is an apparatus in current use in the field of gynaecology, urology, dermatology and in operations on eyes, throat and nose;

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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as "Coherent-CO2 Surgical Laser System 400" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 25 September 1979 laying down the methods of control for maintaining the officially brucellosis-free status of bovine herds in Denmark (Only the Danish text is authentic) (79/837/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), as last amended by Directive 79/111/EEC (2), and in particular Article 3 (13) thereof,

Whereas more than 99 78 % of bovine herds in the Kingdom of Denmark have been declared officially brucellosis-free within the meaning of Article 2 (e) of Directive 64/432/EEC and as having fulfilled the conditions for this qualification for at least 10 years ; whereas no case of abortion due to a brucella infection has been recorded there for at least three years;

Whereas, in order to maintain this qualification, it is necessary to lay down control measures ensuring its efficacy and which are adapted to the special health situation of bovine herds in Denmark;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In order to maintain the officially brucellosis-free status of bovine herds in Denmark, the following conditions must be met: - every bovine animal suspected of being infected with brucellosis must be notified to the competent authorities and must undergo official investigations for brucellosis including at least two serological blood tests including complement fixation as well as a microbiological examination of appropriate samples taken in the case of an abortion,

- during the period of suspicion, which will continue until negative results have been obtained from the tests provided for in the first indent, the officially brucellosis-free status shall be suspended in the case of the herd of the suspected bovine animal or animals.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark.

COMMISSION DECISION of 14 September 1979 refusing to accept the scientific character of the "Hewlett-Packard X-Y recorder, model 7046 A" (79/815/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),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,

Whereas, by letter dated 22 March 1979, the Danish Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Hewlett-Packard X-Y recorder, model 7046 A", used for research in the field of bearing capacity of concrete and, in particular, for plotting the relationship between a force and two deformations on the test sample 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 18 June 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;

Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a pen recorder;

Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to pure scientific research ; whereas, furthermore, it is currently used in industry, in particular in the aerospatial and automobile sectors;

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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The apparatus described as "Hewlett-Packard X-Y recorder, model 7046 A" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

Article 2
