COMMISSION DECISION

of 30 March 1983

terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of television image and sound recorders or reproducers originating in Japan

(83/126/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 Economic Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1580/82 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for by that Regulation,

Whereas in December 1982 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the 'Association of Firms with Common Interest in Video 2000' on behalf of producers representing virtually the entire Community video tape-recorder industry;

Whereas, since the complaint provided sufficient evidence of the existence of dumping and the injury resulting therefrom, the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3), the initiation of a proceeding concerning imports of television image and sound recorders or reproducers, falling within subheading 92.11 B of the Common Customs Tariff (NIMEXE code 92.11-80) and originating in Japan;

Whereas the Commission commenced the investigation by seeking from the parties involved the information necessary for the assessment of dumping and injury;

Whereas on 18 March 1983 the Commission was informed by the complainant that it was withdrawing its complaint following the implementation of the unilateral decision taken by the Japanese authorities to moderate in 1983 and 1984 the exports of television image and sound recorders or reproducers from Japan to the European Economic Community and to set up an export floor-price system;

Whereas, under these circumstances, the continuation of the proceeding concerning these products originating in Japan is not in the interest of the Community and protective measures are at present unnecessary;

Whereas it is, therefore, appropriate to terminate the proceeding concerning imports of television image and sound recorders or reproducers originating in Japan,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Sole Article

The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of television image and sound recorders or reproducers originating in Japan is hereby terminated.

Done at Brussels, 30 March 1983.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 7 April 1983

establishing that the apparatus described as 'Cordin - Rotating Mirror Streak Camera, model 132, with accessories' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties

(83/168/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 4 October 1982, the Netherlands 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 'Cordin - Rotating Mirror Streak Camera, model 132, with accessories', ordered on 7 August 1981 and intended to be used for the study of detonation phenomena and in particular for the determination of the optical phenomena associated with an advancing reaction front in a detonated medium as a function of time, 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 2 February 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 camera;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the great speed, 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 'Cordin - Rotating Mirror Streak Camera, model 132, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by the Netherlands of 4 October 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Council Decision 82/838/EEC of 3 December 1982 (4) recognizes certain parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as being either officially swine-fever-free or swine-fever-free;

Whereas outbreaks of classical swine fever have been recorded in some of the parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany referred to in Annexes to Decision 82/838/EEC;

(83/174/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 27 September 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 - Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 393 with accessories', ordered on 3 May 1982 and intended to be used for the study of solids and solid solutions, 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 2 February 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 an amplifier;

Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the very high suppression of the signal and noise harmonics, 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 'TE 9602' manufactured by Tekelec Airtronic SA, rue Carle-Vernet, F-92310 Sèvres and to the apparatus '5205' and '5206' manufactured by Brookdeal Electronics Ltd, Doncaster House, Doncaster Road, UK-Bracknell RG12 4PG, Berks,
