Whereas, by letter dated 5 October 1981, 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 'Quanta Ray - Nd: YAG Laboratory Laser System, model DCR-1A', to be used for the dynamic study of extremely fast reaction processes in gases and liquids with the aid of intense, ultra-short laser impulses, 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 22 March 1982, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Frre Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a laser;

Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'YG482', manufactured by Quantel, 17, avenue de l'Atlantique, 91941 Les-Ulis-Orsay F-Cedex, and to apparatus 'HY Series', manufactured by JK Lasers Ltd, Somers Road, UK-Rugby, Warwickshire CV22 7DG,
