Opinion of Mr Advocate General VerLoren van Themaat delivered on24 November 1983

1 Translated from the German.

2 This summary of the relevant observation of the Commission is, I think, a true reflection of its meaning. In the same connection the Commission itself states, less appositely, that any undue extension of customs exemptions is to be avoided. Actually, although an excessive amount of work would he involved, that could be achieved through the application of the regulation's restrictive conditions, which are directly related to its objectives of industrial policy. The work involved would indeed be particularly excessive in the case of relatively inexpensive and simple research aids.
