Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 508/82 (2),
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 24 November 1982, 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 'Lumonics - High Average Power CO2 Laser, model TEA-820', ordered on 1 October 1979 and intended to be used for molecular dissociation tests requiring high energy and in particular for molecular beam spectroscopy tests, 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 30 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 laser; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the great stability, 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 'TL3' manufactured by Edinburgh Instruments Ltd, Riccarton, Currie, UK-Edinburgh EH14 4AP to the apparatus 'EMG 100/200' manufactured by Lambda Physik, Hans-Boecklerstrasse 12, D-3400 Goettingen and to the apparatus manufactured on request by Laser Applications Ltd, Gothenburg Way, Sutton Fields Industrial Estate, UK-Hull HU8 0YE,
The apparatus described as 'Lumonics-High Average Power CO2 Laser, model TEA-820', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 24 November 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 8 July 1993 calling upon the Italian Republic to postpone the adoption of its draft regulations in respect of the labelling of foodstuffs and infant formulae packaged under a modified atmosphere (Only the Italian text is  authentic)
(93/395/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (1), as last amended by  Commission Directive 91/72/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 and 17 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Italian authorities notified the Commission of their intention to adopt two draft regulations relating to the packaging of foodstuffs and infant formulae under a  modified atmosphere;
Wheres the two draft regulations include labelling rules requiring that the packaging of the products be marked with the words 'packaged under a modified atmosphere';
Whereas, in accordance with Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Commission has consulted the other Member States within the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs;
Whereas it has been generally acknowledged that it is important for consumers to be informed about the method of packaging of the foodstuffs they buy inasmuch as it enables them to understand why the product has a long or a short shelf life;
Whereas, in these circumstances, it would be useful to require the labelling of the products concerned to indicate that packaging gases have been used;
Whereas, however, for Italy to apply such a measure unilaterally would be bound to hamper intra-Community trade;
Whereas this finding led the Commission to deliver a negative opinion in accordance with Article 16 (2) (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;
Whereas the mot satisfactory solution to the problem raised by the draft Italian regulations would be to draw up Community provisions;
Whereas any national initiative in this area should therefore be postponed for a suitable period;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
The Italian Republic shall, for a period of six months from the notification of this Decision, postpone the adoption of its two draft regulations in respect of labelling rules requiring the inclusion of the words 'packaged under a modified  atmosphere'.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
