Whereas, by letter dated 18 February 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 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 4000', ordered on 30 July 1979 and intended to be used for the development of trace analysis methods (chemical concentration with subsequent spectrochemical analysis) and for the determination of toxic elements by atomic absorption and emission, 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 5 July 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 spectrophotometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the answer of the entire spectral field of the analysis, 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 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 4000', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 18 February 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
