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 22 October 1980, the Government of 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 "Hewlett Packard computing calculator, model HP 9815 A", to be used for the following researches :
- effect of the continuous or pulsed light quality and quantity on the growth of plants,
- determination of action spectra for flower initiation and other biological phenomena using narrow band width radiation sources from UV to near IR spectra regions,
- determination of variation of light quality as a function of time of day/night,
- location of photosensitive pigments within plants,
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 2784/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 5 March 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter ;
