COMMISSION  DECISION

establishing that the apparatus described as 'ATL - Duplex System, model Mark V' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/548/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 25 January 1982, the Netherlands have 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 'ATL - Duplex System, model Mark V', ordered on 1 August 1980 and to be used for research on the early detection of atherosclerotic vascular wall changes and in particular on the carotid arteries, 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 2 July 1982 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 detector; 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 nonscientific 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; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'ATL - Duplex System, model Mark V', which is the subject of an application by the Netherlands of 25 January 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Article 1 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3421/91 (2) stipulates that the products must be delivered and unloaded before 31 January 1992; whereas it appears that the Romanian authorities were not able to guarantee receipt of all the  products prior to the above date; whereas, therefore, the said time limit should be extended by one month;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
In Article 1 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3421/91, '31 January 1992' is hereby replaced by '29 February 1992'.
