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 March 1980, the British Government 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 "Conviron-Plant Growth Cabinet, model E 8VH", "Conviron-Chemical Drier, model CD 50" and "Conviron-Camless Solid State Programmer, model CP-240 TH", to be used in the framework of plant growth, under controlled environmental conditions and, in particular, to control the asset of seed dormancy, should be considered as scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value are 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 9 July 1980 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question are respectively a nursery-cabinet, a chemical drier and an electronic programmer;
Whereas they do not have the requisite objective characteristics making them specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas their use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of scientific apparatus ; whereas they therefore cannot be regarded as scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Conviron-Plant Growth Cabinet, mode E 8VH", "Conviron-Chemical Drier, model CD 50" and "Conviron-Camless Solid State Programmer, model CP-240 TH" are not considered to be scientific apparatus.
