COMMISSION DECISION

of 10 August 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 4000' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/439/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 18 February 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 4000', ordered on 30 July 1979 and intended to be used for the development of trace analysis methods (chemical concentration with subsequent spectrochemical analysis) and for the determination of toxic elements by atomic absorption and emission, 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 5 July 1983 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 spectrophotometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the answer of the entire spectral field of the analysis, 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 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 4000', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 18 February 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas, by letter dated 25 April 1983, 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 'Henson - Computer Compatible Incremental Measuring Machine, model Bannister Laboratory' ordered in September 1982 and intended to be used for research on dating archaeological remains by Dendrochronology and provision of tree incremental data for research in Dendroclimatology and Dendrohydrology, 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 this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a measuring system; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; 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 'Henson - Computer Compatible Incremental Measuring Machine, model Bannister Laboratory', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 25 April 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
