COMMISSION  DECISION
of 7 April 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'PAR - Oma 2 System' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/165/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
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 16 September 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'PAR - Oma 2 System', ordered on 13 December 1979 and intended to be used for the examination of the spectra of short-lived intermediate products resulting from laser photolysis, 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 1 March 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 multichannel analyzer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision in the spectral field of the action, 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, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'PAR - Oma 2 System', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 16 September 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
