Whereas, by letter dated 22 September 1980, the Government of the United Kingdom 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 "JEOL electron microscope, JEM-100 CX, with goniometer EM-UHG-1", to be used for research to determine the detailed atomic structures of new metallic, non-metallic and polymeric materials so that structure can be correlated with properties, 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;
