Whereas Council Regulation No 211/66/EEC (3) added a class III to the common quality standards for peaches and table grapes, while the same class was added to the common quality standards for cherries and strawberries by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1194/69 (4); whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 379/71 of 19 February 1971 laying down common quality standards for citrus fruit (5), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1641/71 of 27 July 1971 laying down quality standards for dessert apples and pears (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2162/84 (7), laid down a class III for the products concerned;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3409/82 (8) extends until 31 December 1986 the period during which quality class III may apply to certain fruit and vegetables;

Whereas, by letter dated 29 December 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'JEOL - Scanning Electron Microscope, model JSM-35C', ordered on 21 December 1978 and intended to be used for the study of electrochemical processes, plastics, photographic emulsions and biological systems and also for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of inorganic, organic and biological systems involved with high depth of focus and sometimes in very low temperatures (- 150 Â°C), 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;
