Whereas, by letter dated 2 December 1981, the United Kingdom 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 'Cahn - Recording Electrobalance, model Cahn 2000', ordered on 28 July 1981 and to be used for research into the effect of surface-active elements on the kinetics of metal/gas reactions by recording the change of weight of the reacting metal with time, 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,
