COMMISSION  DECISION
of 7 April 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Ithaco - Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 393 with accessories' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/173/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
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 608/82 (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 27 September 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 'Ithaco - Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 393 with accessories', ordered in March 1982 and intended to be used for the study of the surface properties of thin films of organic molecules by means of photo-acoustic spectroscopy and, in particular, for the registration and amplification of photo-acoustic signals and interference suppression, 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 2 February 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 an amplifier;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the very high suppression of the signal and noise harmonics, 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 'TE 9602' manufacured by Tekelec Airtronic SA, rue Carle-Vernet, F-92310 SĂ¨vres and to the apparatus '5205' and 5206' manufactured by Brookdeal Electronics Ltd, Doncaster House, Doncaster Road, UK-Bracknell RG12 4PG, Berks,
The apparatus described as 'Ithaco - Lock-in Amplifier, model Dynatrac 393 with accessories', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 27 September 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

In particular, Annex IXa provides that dimethyldicarbonate must be added prior to bottling. The translation of the term ‘bottling’ and its different meanings in certain languages have led to diverging interpretations of the scope of this provision by operators and control authorities.
(2) Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 of 29 April 2002 laying down certain rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 as regards the description, designation, presentation and protection of certain wine sector products (3) defines the term ‘bottling’ for its application.
(3) To ensure a uniform interpretation of the requirements applicable to the use of dimethyldicarbonate, the definition of the term ‘bottling’ provided in Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 should be used to clarify the requirements contained in Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000. Annex IXa to Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
The first indent of the second paragraph of Annex IXa to Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000 is replaced by the following:
‘— Addition must be carried out only a short time prior to bottling, defined as putting the product concerned up for commercial purposes in containers of a capacity not exceeding 60 litres.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
