Whereas, by letter dated 30 November 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 'Spex - Monochromator Minimate, model 1670', ordered on 23 December 1981 and intended to be used in a research project which deals with the development of new methods for measuring small absorption changes in plants, 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 monochromator;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the wide gamma of the spectrum, 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 'H25' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18 rue du Canal, F-91163 Longjumeau and to the apparatus 'Monochromator 121' manufactured by Edinburgh Instruments Ltd, Riccarton, Currie, UK-Edinburgh EH14 4AP,
