COMMISSION DECISION  of 14 April 1980  refusing to accept the scientific character of the apparatus described as "Collins General Purpose HF Receiver, model 651S-1" and "Collins Transmitter, model HF 8130A"  (80/469/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

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 9 October 1979, the Italian Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure at present laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Collins General Purpose HF Receiver, model 651S-1", and "Collins Transmitter, model HF 8130A", intended for use in connection with stratosperic experiments in telemetry stations, 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 26 February 1980 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question consists of a high-frequency receiver and a high-frequency transmitter ; whereas it does not possess the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas apparatus of the same kind is principally used for the realization of non-scientific activities ; whereas the use of the said apparatus in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Collins General Purpose HF Receiver, model 651S-1", and "Collins Transmitter, model HF 8130A", is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
