Having regard to the proposal fom the Commission,
Whereas the common commercial policy is based on uniform principles; whereas the common rules for  imports established by Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 constitute an important part of this policy;  whereas the liberalization of imports, namely the absence of all quantitative restrictions, subject  to exceptions and derogations provided for in Community law, is the point of departure for such  common rules;

Whereas for a number of such restrictions maintained by certain Member States, in particular in  respect of Japan, the economic and commercial situation warrants their abolition;
Whereas, in these circumstances Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 should be suitably amended,
The quantitative restrictions on  products falling within the CN codes listed respectively in Annexes A, B and C to this Regulation  are hereby deleted from Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 288/82.

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 26 January 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 'QBI - Sideport Spectrometer System, model 1350', ordered on 12 December 1980 and to be used for research on the distribution of elements in living cells, 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 July 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 X-ray dispersive spectrometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the spectral power 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 'QBI - Sideport Spectrometer System, model 1350', which is the subject of an application by the Netherlands of 26 January 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
