COMMISSION  DECISION
of 20 December 1982

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 18 June 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Delco - Inertial Navigation System, model Carousel IV-A-III', ordered on 15 March 1980 and to be used for the development of methods and procedures of increasing flight safety on landing and in particular for the supply of precise position data on board of an aircraft for wind speed and thermal wind warning, 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;
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 22 October 1982 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 navigation system; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Delco - Inertial Navigation System, model Carousel IV-A-III', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 18 June 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
