Whereas, by letter dated 17 November 1981, 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 'Perkin-Elmer - Liquid Chromatograph, model Series 2/2 with Spectrophotometric Detector, model LC-85 and accessories', ordered 9 April 1981 and to be used for research in methods of treatment, of the agronomic and chemical type, directed at crops and in particular for detecting the amount of pesticides in water, in aqueous solution in the soil, in extracts from the earth and from plant parts, 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;
