COMMISSION DECISION

of 15 November 1982

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Ithaco - Heterodyne Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 391A' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(82/798/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 7 April 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Ithaco - Heterodyne Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 391A', ordered on 8 August 1980 and to be used for the measurement of the crystallization temperature of quenchingly condensed amorphous metal layers in intense magnetic fields, 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 21 September 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;

Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an amplifier;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility in relation to sound 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 'Ithaco - Heterodyne Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 391A', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 7 April 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas, for a number of years, the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community meeting within the Council have granted non-member countries covered by the generalized preferences scheme tariff advantages in respect of imports into the Community of certain ECSC iron and steel products in the form of total tariff suspensions without quantitative limits for certain types of product or total tariff suspensions within the limits of quotas either fixed or to be calculated for other types of product;

Whereas the Commission is involved in the negotiation of such concessions and in the decisions of the representatives of the Governments implementing them; whereas the decisions in question are taken with the Commission's full agreement;

Whereas such concessions are covered by Article 3 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64, under which the Commission, after consulting the Member States, can for reasons of commercial policy derogate from the tariff obligations laid down by the recommendation;

Whereas the most recent decision of the Member States establishing tariff concessions was adopted, with the Commission's agreement, on 22 November 1982 and meets the requirements laid down in Article 3 of the recommendation for the granting of a derogation, that as a consequence it is appropriate to grant the derogation for the concessions in question;

Whereas the Member States have been consulted on this draft Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from the obligations arising under Article 1 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64 to the extent necessary to apply, on imports from non-member countries of iron and steel products covered by the ECSC Treaty, the duty suspensions resulting from the Decision of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community of 22 November 1982.

This Decision is applicable with effect from 1 January 1983.

It shall remain in force until 31 December 1983.
