COMMISSION DECISION of 15 November 1982 establishing that the apparatus described as 'Extranuclear - Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, consisting of: Quadrupole Mass Filter, model 4-324-9, Electron Impact Ionizer, model 041-2, Ionizer Control, model 020-2, Quadrupole Power Supply, model 011-14 and High-Q-Head, model 012-10' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (82/803/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 7 April 1982, 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 'Extranuclear - Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, consisting of: Quadrupole Mass Filter, model 4-324-9, Electron Impact Ionizer, model 041-2, Ionizer Control, model 020-2, Quadrupole Power Supply, model 011-14 and High-Q-Head, model 012-10', ordered on 20 February 1980 and to be used for research in the field of radiation chemistry and in particular for research of atom-molecule reactions by means of a flow reactor, 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 21 September 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 sensibility 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,

Article 2 This Decision is addressed to the Member States. Done at Brussels, 15 November 1982. For the Commission Karl-Heinz NARJES Member of the Commission (1) OJ No L 184, 15. 7. 1975, p. 1. (2) OJ No L 74, 18. 3. 1982, p. 4. (3) OJ No L 318, 13. 12. 1979, p. 32
