(hereinafter: "the harmful organism") may not be introduced into certain protected zones of the Member States.
(2) In 1999, Slovakia requested to be recognised as being free from the harmful organism.
(3) It appears from official information supplied by Slovakia, and from information collected during a mission carried out there in April 2000 by the Food and Veterinary Office, that the harmful organism does not occur in Slovakia, and that Slovakia has maintained a strict control, inspection and testing procedure for the harmful organism.
(4) It can therefore be established that there is no risk of the harmful organism spreading.
(5) This Decision is without prejudice to any subsequent findings that may show that the harmful organism is present in Slovakia. The Commission will request Slovakia to supply on a yearly basis all technical information available that is necessary to assess the aforementioned situation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Slovakia is recognised as being free from Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 17 May 1984
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Hewlett Packard - Spectrum Analyzer, model 8568 A' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(84/302/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 4 November 1983, 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 'Hewlett Packard - Spectrum Analyzer, model 8568 A', ordered on 15 January 1981 and intended to be used for the production of ultra-short laser pulses for solid-state spectroscopy to monitor the spectral purity of mode-coupled pulses produced with 80 MHz, 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 16 March 1984 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 spectrum analyzer; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas in particular the great precision and the stability of the obtained measurement results cannot confer upon it this character; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities, and in particular in the space industry, in the fields of telecommunication and the armed forces; 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 is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Hewlett Packard - Spectrum Analyzer, model 8568 A', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 4 November 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
