Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1108/91 of 30 April 1991 laying down quality standards for apricots (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 888/97 (4), contains precise rules on the sizing of those products;
Whereas Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 allows for an exemption from the quality standards where the fruit or vegetables of a given region are sold by the retail trade of the region for well-established traditional local consumption;
Whereas certain varieties of apricots produced in Germany, in particular in the Süßer See region, are characterised by a smaller size than that required by the quality standards; whereas those apricots are traditionally marketed in the production region; whereas, therefore, such an exemption should be authorised on the territory of Germany;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
1. As an exemption from the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1108/91, the minimum size of apricots produced in the Süßer See region may be less than the 5 mm given in the quality standards. However, such apricots may only be marketed in Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony.
2. For the purposes of applying paragraph 1, each consignment must carry, in addition to the other required information, the following indication on the document or notice as referred to in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96: 'Nur in Sachsen-Anhalt und Sachsen im Einzelhandel zu verkaufen` ('Only for retail sale in Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony`).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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,
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.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
