Whereas, by letter dated 14 April 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 "Digilab FTS-IR spectrometer, model FTS-20", to be used for a study of absorption of gases on surfaces of catalytic importance, also of inorganic molecules and chemical species isolated in inert gas matrices by vibrational spectroscopy, 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;
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 25 September 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 spectrometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, in particular those of the energetic flux used in the vibrational spectroscopy and the use to which it is put, make it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities ; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community ; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus "IFS-113V" manufactured by Bruker Physik AG, Silberstreifen, 7512 Karlsruhe-Rheinstetten, Federal Republic of Germany,
The apparatus described as "Digilab FTS-IR spectrometer, model FTS-20" which is subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 14 April 1981 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
