COMMISSION DECISION of 8 October 1981 establishing that the apparatus described as "MKS transducer, model 220 B" may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (81/846/EEC)

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 amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (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 1 April 1981, 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 "MKS transducer, model 220 B", to be used for the examination of laser-induced fluorescence of radical and organic molecules in the gas phase and in particular for the control of the structure and of the total pressure of the projected samples for photolysis, 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 9 July 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 pression measuring system;
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 "MKS transducer, model 220 B", which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 1 April 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,
Whereas Decision 87/433/EEC requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports concerned;
Whereas on 8 March 1988 the Spanish Government, under Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC, asked the Commission for authorization to introduce intra-Community surveillance for motor vehicles for the transport of persons or goods, falling within CN codes 8702, 8703 and 8704, originating in Romania and placed in free circulation in one of the Member States;
Whereas imports into Spain of the products in question originating in Romania are subject to quantitative restrictions under Article 2 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2273/87 (3);
Whereas there are disparities in the conditions governing these imports in the Member States; whereas these disparities could cause deflection of trade which might aggravate or cause economic difficulties affecting the industry concerned;
Whereas the Spanish authorities informed the Commission that, since the beginning of the year, Spain has been receiving a flow of indirect trade in the products in question originating in Romania and in free circulation in other Member States;
Whereas the Commission examined the request from the Spanish Government; whereas it found that the deflection of trade could increase and cause or aggravate economic difficulties in the industry concerned;
Whereas in these circumstances, foreseeable imports should be monitored closely; whereas the imports in question originating in Romania should therefore be made subject to prior intra-Community surveillance in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC,
