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 22 March 1979, the Danish 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 or not the apparatus described as "Hewlett-Packard X-Y recorder, model 7046 A", used for research in the field of bearing capacity of concrete and, in particular, for plotting the relationship between a force and two deformations on the test sample 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 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 18 June 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a pen recorder;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to pure scientific research ; whereas, furthermore, it is currently used in industry, in particular in the aerospatial and automobile sectors;
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,
The apparatus described as "Hewlett-Packard X-Y recorder, model 7046 A" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas the Commission is involved in the negotiation of such concessions and in the decisions of the representatives of the Governments implementing them; whereas the decisions in question are taken with the Commission's full agreement;
Whereas such concessions are covered by Article 3 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64, under which the Commission, after consulting the Member States, can for reasons of commercial policy derogate from the tariff obligations laid down by the recommendation;
Whereas the most recent decision of the Member States establishing tariff concessions was adopted, with the Commission's agreement, on 16 December 1983 and meets the requirements laid down in Article 3 of the recommendation for the granting of a derogation, that as a consequence it is appropriate to grant the derogation for the concessions in question;
Whereas the Member States have been consulted on this draft Decision,
The Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from the obligations arising under Article 1 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64 to the extent necessary to apply, on imports from non-member countries of iron and steel products covered by the ECSC Treaty, the duty suspensions resulting from the Decision of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community of 16 December 1983.
