Whereas, by letter dated 15 June 1981, the United Kingdom 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 'Becton Dickinson - fluorescence-activated cell sorter, FACS IV', to be used in cancer research, and in particular for the analysis and the sorting of cancer cells on the basis of light scatter and fluorescence, 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 cell analyzer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the high precision in the field of the analysis on the basis of fluorescence 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 'Becton Dickinson - fluorescence-activated cell sorter, FACS IV', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 15 June 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
