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 9 October 1979, the Italian Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure at present laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Data-Chron-time code generator, model 3100-251'and'Data-Chron-time code translator, model 3200-284", intended for use in connection with stratospheric experiments in telemetry stations, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value are 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 February 1980 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question consist of a signal generator and a synchronizer ; whereas they do not possess the requisite objective characteristics making them specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, indeed, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for the realization of non-scientific activities ; whereas the use of the said apparatus in the case in question could not alone confer upon them the character of scientific apparatus ; whereas they therefore cannot be regarded as scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Data-Chron-time code generator, model 3100-251" and "Data-Chron-time code translator, model 3200-284" are not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
