COMMISSION  DECISION
of 20 January 1984
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Biomed - Soft Laser Scanning Densitometer, model SL-504 XL TRFF' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(84/52/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 14 July 1983, 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 'Biomed - Soft Laser Scanning Densitometer, model SL-504 XL TRFF', ordered on 20 November 1980 and intended to be used for the quantitation and graphic representation of separated proteins in polymer gels and in particular of the terminal oxidase iso-enzymes of exogenous metabolism in pig's liver, 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;
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 15 December 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 laser densitometer; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, in particular the absorption range and the resolution power are not of the nature which would confer upon it this character; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question therefore is not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Biomed - Soft Laser Scanning Densitometer, model SL-504 XL TRFF', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 14 July 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2) provides for surveillance of imports of the products listed in Annex XVII thereto.

(3) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For June 1988, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations may fix withdrawal prices, not exceeding the following maxima, in ECU per 100 kilograms net, for tomatoes grown under glass:

It shall apply from 11 June 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
