(2) Article 2(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that derived intervention prices for white sugar are to be fixed for each deficit area each year. When those prices are fixed, account is to be taken of the regional variations in the price of sugar, which, given a normal harvest and free movement of sugar, may be expected to occur under natural conditions of price formation on the market and in view of experience gained and the costs of transporting sugar from surplus areas to deficit areas.
(3) To establish whether an area is a deficit area, projections should be made based on the data returned by the Member States relating both to the current marketing year as regards consumption trends, and to the prospects for the coming marketing year as regards developments in available production. As a result, areas should be recognised as deficit areas only where the projections clearly indicate that a deficit is likely to occur.

Whereas, by letter dated 19 March 1980, the Dutch 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 "Evans and Sutherland-Picture System 2", to be used to design and perfect models for command and control, detection and tracking methods for an experimental phased array radar installation, should be considered as 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 24 June 1980 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 computer system;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus,

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas this examination shows that the apparatus in question is an automated counter ; whereas it does not in itself have any objective characteristics making it specially suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it is an apparatus for routine use in clinical medicine ; whereas its use in this particular case cannot in itself give it the character of a scientific apparatus specially suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it cannot therefore be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "NBS biotran II automated colony counter" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
