COMMISSION  DECISION
of 20 June 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'ADC - Infra Red Detector System, model 403L' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/325/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES

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 7 December 1982, the United Kingdom 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 'ADC - Infra Red Detector System, model 403L', ordered on 21 January 1982 and intended to be used for the detection and measurement of unstable species which emit in the near infra-red, 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 detector; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility 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 'ADC - Infra Red Detector System, model 403L', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 7 December 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
