Whereas, by letter dated 28 February 1982, France 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 'Varian - NMR Spectrometer System, model EM-360L' ordered in July 1982 and intended to be used for research in the field of organic synthesis, asymmetric synthesis, the study of organometallic reactivity, homogeneous and hetereogeneous catalysis, organic electrochemistry and fossil dating, 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 6 July 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;

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 'WP80CW' manufactured by Brucker Spectrospin SA, 34, rue de l'Industrie, 67160 Wissembourg, France,
The apparatus described as 'Varian - NMR Spectrometer System, model EM-360L', which is the subject of an application by France of 28 February 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
