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 17 July 1980, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany 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 "PAR — vibrating sample magnetometer, model 155", to be used for research investigating the magnetic properties of solids as a function of temperature and magnetic field, 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;
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 8 January 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 magnetometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the high precision and the measuring range, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research;
Whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus ;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus "magnetic susceptibility system, comprising of a PAR balance" manufactured by Oxford Instruments Co. Ltd, Osney Maid, UK-Oxford OX2 ODX,
The apparatus described as "PAR-vibrating sample magnetometer, model 155", which is the subject of an application by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany of 17 July 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
