Whereas, by letter dated 5 September 1983, 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 'MEE - Cloud Condensation Nucleus Counter, model 130', ordered on 30 June 1982 and intended to be used for cloud physics studies and in particular for the determination of the quantitative correlation between the number and kind of nuclei present in a cloud, 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 26 January 1984 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 spectrograph;
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 it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus, whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "Kay sona-graph, models 6061 B, 7029 A and 7030 A" which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 13 January 1981 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
