Whereas, by letter dated 15 May 1981, the Government of 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 'SHE variable temperature superconducting susceptometer, model VTS-50', to be used in the framework of a research project for measuring the physical properties of magnetic susceptibility, 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 October 1981, 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 susceptometer; whereas its objective technical characteristiscs such as the field and the degree of precision of the magnetic measurements 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;

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
