COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 92/33/EEC of 28 April 1992 on the marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas the production of vegetables occupies an important place in the agriculture of the Community;

Whereas satisfactory results in the cultivation of vegetables depend to a large extent on the quality and plant health not only of the seed already covered by Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed (4) but also of the vegetable planting material used for their propagation; whereas certain Member States have in consequence introduced rules intended to guarantee the quality and plant health of the propagating and planting material of vegetable plants placed on the market;

Whereas the different treatment accorded to vegetable propagating and planting material in different Member States is likely to create barriers to trade and thus hinder the free movement of these products within the Community; whereas, with a view to achieving the internal market, these barriers should be removed by adopting Community provisions to replace those laid down by the Member States;

Whereas the establishment of harmonized conditions at Community level will ensure that purchasers throughout the Community receive vegetable propagating and planting material which is healthy and of good quality;

Whereas, in so far as they relate to plant health, such harmonized conditions must be consistent with Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (5);

Whereas, without prejudice to the plant-health provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, it is not appropriate to apply the Community rules on the marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material when it is shown that such products are intended for export to third countries, as the rules applicable there may be different from those contained in this Directive;

Whereas the determination of plant-health and quality standards for each genus and species of vegetable plant requires lengthy and detailed technical and scientific consideration; whereas a procedure should accordingly be established for that purpose;

Whereas in the first instance it is the responsibility of the suppliers of vegetable propagating and planting material to ensure that their products fulfil the conditions laid down in this Directive;

Whereas the competent authorities of the Member States must, when carrying out controls and inspections, ensure that suppliers fulfil those conditions;

Whereas Community control measures should be introduced to ensure the uniform application in all the Member States of the standards laid down in this Directive;

Whereas it is in the interests of the purchasers of vegetable propagating and planting materials that the name of varieties be known and their identity safeguarded;

Whereas, to this end, provision should be made as far as possible for the application of the rules on the varietal aspect as established with respect to the marketing of vegetable seed;

Whereas, in order to ensure the identity and orderly marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material, Community rules must be laid down concerning the separation of lots, and marking; whereas the labels used should give the particulars needed both for official control and for the information of the user;

Whereas rules should be established permitting, in cases of temporary supply difficulties, the marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material subject to requirements less stringent than those contained in this Directive;

Whereas, as a first step towards harmonized conditions, Member States should be prohibited in the case of the genera and species referred to in Annex II, for which fact-sheets will be drawn up, from imposing new conditions or restrictions on the marketing, other than those provided for in this Directive;

Whereas provisions should be made for authorizing the marketing within the Community of vegetable propagating and planting material produced in third countries, provided always that it affords the same assurances as vegetable propagating and planting material produced in the Community and complying with Community rules;

Whereas, in order to harmonize technical methods of examination used in the Member States and to compare propagating and planting material and vegetable plants produced in the Community with that produced in third countries, comparative trials should be carried out to check compliance of such products with the requirements of this Directive;

Whereas, in order to facilitate the effective operation of this Directive, the Commission should be entrusted with the task of adopting measures for its implementation and for the amendment of its Annex, and to provide a procedure to that end involving close cooperation between the Commission and the Member States within a Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Materials, Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
