Whereas, by letter dated 14 January 1983, Italy 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 'Scintrex - High Sensitivity Vector Fluxgate Magnetometer, model MFM-3', ordered in November 1980 and intended to be used for the studies of polarization induced with a magnetic detector, the observation and recording of the micropulsations of the earth's magnetic field, caused mainly by solar agents, 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 31 May 1983 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 magnetometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility in the magnetic detection, 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Scintrex - High Sensitivity Vector Fluxgate Magnetometer, model MFM-3' which is the subject of an application by Italy of 14 January 1983 may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas the period for the adoption of transitional measures was extended until 30 June 1999 by Regulation (EC) No 1340/98; whereas, pending the adoption by the Council of definitive measures, application of the measures provided for by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 865/90 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1247/97 (4), should be extended until 30 June 1999;

Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 provides for adjustment of the coefficient where foreseeable export trends in one of the Member States concerned show a tendency to change significantly; whereas this assessment  may be made by taking account of a sufficiently long reference period to eliminate short, insignificant fluctuations; whereas a period of seven years prior to the year in question complies with this criterion; whereas, moreover, an annual difference of  less than 1 % between the respective trends in exports and total quantities sold cannot show a tendency towards significant change;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993, the coefficient referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 and applicable to cereals used in the United Kingdom for the manufacture of Scotch whisky shall be as shown in the Annex.
