COMMISSION DECISION

of 9 June 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Sorvall - Ultramicrotome, model MT-1A' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/301/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 1 December 1982, the Netherlands have 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 'Sorvall - Ultramicrotome, model MT-1A', ordered on 30 July 1981 and intended to be used for the preparation of very thin specimens of animal tissue required for the microscopic examination of neurosecretory substances in crustaceans, 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 April 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 microtome;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the reproduction of very thin specimens of tissues, 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 'Sorvall - Ultramicrotome, model MT-1A', which is the subject of an application by the Netherlands of 1 December 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 5 September 1983

accepting undertakings given in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain outboard motors originating in Japan

(83/452/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3017/79 of 20 December 1979 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1580/82 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,

Whereas:

A. Provisional action

(1) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 1500/83 (3), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of outboard motors up to and including 85 hp originating in Japan.

B. Undertakings

(2) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, undertakings were offered by Tohatsu Corporation, Suzuki Motor Company Ltd, Yamaha Motor Company Ltd and Marine Power Europe Inc., acting on behalf of Yamaha Motor Company Ltd pursuant to a power of attorney, concerning their exports of Mariner outboard motors to the Community.

(3) The effect of the said undertakings is very likely to increase export prices to the Community or, where appropriate, resale prices in the Community either to the level necessary to eliminate the dumping or to the level which the Commission, having taken into account, on the one hand, the selling prices necessary to provide an adequate return to Community producers and, on the other hand, the purchase prices of the Community importers and their costs and profit margins, considers necessary to eliminate injury.

(4) In these circumstances, the undertakings offered are considered acceptable.

(5) No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Sole Article

The Commission hereby accepts the undertakings given by Tohatsu Corporation, Suzuki Motor Company Ltd, Yamaha Motor Company Ltd and Marine Power Europe Inc. in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning outboard motors up to and including 85 hp, falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading ex 84.06 B, corresponding to NIMEXE codes 84.06-10 and ex 84.06-12 and originating in Japan.
