Whereas, by letter dated 29 April 1983, the United Kingdom 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 'JEOL - Electron Probe X-ray microanalyzer, model JXA-733, with accessories', ordered in August 1981 and intended to be used for carrying out chemical analysis on a microscale of materials, especially those containing light elements, 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 17 October 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
