COMMISSION DECISION  of 2 February 1979  denying the appellation of "scientific character" to an apparatus described as "Revco freezer, type ULT 1785" including a thermometer, a liquid nitrogen expansion valve and various attachments  (79/210/EEC)

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 19 August 1978, the Belgian Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether the apparatus described as "Revco freezer, type ULT 1785" including a thermometer, a liquid nitrogen expansion valve and various attachments should be considered as a scientific apparatus, and if 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 13 December 1978 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination shows that the apparatus in question is a freezer capable of obtaining ultra low temperatures and used more especially to store mutant strains of yeast;
Whereas it is an apparatus which as well as being used for research purposes may also be used to freeze and store the most varied types of product ; whereas it is therefore a multi-purpose apparatus which in itself does not possess particular features that make it specially suitable for pure scientific research ; whereas it cannot therefore be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Revco freezer, type ULT 1785" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
