Whereas, by letter dated 23 March 1979, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany 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 "Bison automatic signal enhancement seismograph, model 1575 B", intended for use in teaching in the geotechnical field and for research in the framework of the identification of underground geological structures, 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;
