Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 206/2009 (2) lays down rules concerning the introduction into the Union of personal consignments of products of animal origin of a non-commercial nature which form part of travellers’ luggage, or are delivered to private persons in small amounts also as a result of remote orders (for example by mail, by telephone or via the internet).

(4) It is also opportune to slightly review the wording and the layout of the message presented in the posters in order to make it clearer for the travellers and the general public.
(5) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 206/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

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 10 February 1981, 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 "Bruker-time averaging computer, model B-E 50", to be used for research into the nature of metal-non metal transition in liquid semiconductors and of the motion of ions in ionic conductors, 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 23 June 1981 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 computer;
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 non-scientific 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 "Bruker-time averaging computer, model B-E 50", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 10 February 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
