COMMISSION DECISION of 20 July 1982 establishing that the apparatus described as 'Extranuclear - Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer', consisting of: 1. multiplier, model 051-1, - mass filter, model 4-162-8, - cross beam ionizer, model 041-2, 2. combined ionizer control, model 020-2, - power supply, model 011-15, 3. electrometer, model 031-2, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (82/525/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 12 January 1982, 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 'Extranuclear - Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer', consisting of: 1. multiplier, model 051-1, - mass filter, model 4-162/8, - cross beam ionizer, model 041-2, 2. combined ionizer control, model 020-2, - power supply, model 011-15, 3. electrometer, model 031-2, ordered in February 1979 and to be used for the investigation of vaporization thermodynamics and of the composition of the vapours of inorganic substances of low volatility at high temperatures, 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 8 June 1982 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 mass spectrometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the very high resolution power 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 as scientific apparatus;
