Whereas, by letter dated 11 August 1980, the United Kingdom Government 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 "Telelab automatic tissue pulverizer", to be used for the examination of hormone-dependent cancer and in particular for the disintegration of the frozen tissue, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
