COMMISSION DECISION of 15 February 1994 deferring, as regards the importation of fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production from third countries, the date referred to in Article 16 (2) of Council Directive 92/34/EEC (94/150/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/34/EEC of 28 April 1992 on the marketing of fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production (1), as amended by Commission Decision 93/401/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 (2) thereof,
Whereas, in the absence of a schedule of conditions as required pursuant to Article 4 of Directive 92/34/EEC, Commission Decision 93/401/EEC deferred the date in Article 16 (2) of the said Directive to 31 December 1993;
Whereas, by virtue of Commission Directive 93/48/EEC (3), those conditions were established and came into force on 1 January 1994;
Whereas the Commission is required pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Directive 92/34/EEC to decide whether propagating material and fruit plants produced in a third country and affording the same guarantees as regards obligations on the supplier, identity, characteristics, plant health, growing medium, packaging, inspection arrangements, marking and sealing, are equivalent in all these respects to propagating material and fruit plants produced in the Community and complying with the requirements and conditions of the Directive;
Whereas, however, the information presently available on the conditions applying in third countries is not sufficient to enable the Commission to make any such decision in respect of any third country at this stage;
Whereas it is known that, hitherto, Member States have imported propagating material and fruit plants produced in certain third countries; whereas, in order to prevent trade patterns from being disrupted Member States should be allowed to apply to the importation of propagating material and fruit plants from third countries conditions equivalent to those applicable to the production and marketing of products obtained in the Community, in accordance with Article 16 (2) of the said Directive;
Whereas propagating material and fruit plants imported by a Member State in accordance with a decision taken by that Member State pursuant to Article 16 (2) first subparagraph of the said Directive should be subject to no marketing restrictions as regards the matters referred to in Article 16 (1) of the said Directive in other Member States;
Whereas accordingly the date referred to in Article 16 (2) of the said Directive should be further deferred;
Whereas the Standing Committee for Propagating Material and Plants of Fruit Genera and Species failed to deliver an opinion within the time allowed by its Chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The date referred to in Article 16 (2), first subparagraph of Directive 92/34/EEC is hereby deferred until 31 December 1994.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,

(1)
Under Directive 2000/29/EC, plants of strawberry (Fragaria L.), intended for planting, other than seeds, originating in non-European countries, other than Mediterranean countries, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the continental states of the United States of America, may not in principle be introduced into the Community. However, that Directive permits derogations from that rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 97/27/EC (2), and in particular Article 8(2)(c) thereof,
Whereas the request submitted by Luxembourg on 6 November 1997, which was received by the Commission on 10 November 1997, was accompanied by a report containing the information required by Article 8(2)(c); whereas the request concerns one type of gas discharge lamp for four types of headlamps;
Whereas the information provided by Luxembourg shows that the technology and principle embodied in these new types of gas discharge lamps and headlamps do not meet the requirements of Community regulations; whereas, however, the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that of the lamps and headlamps covered by the requirements of the Directives in force and, in particular, of Council Directive 76/761/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor-vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dippedbeam headlamps and to incandescent electric filament lamps for such headlamps (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/517/EEC (4);
Whereas these new types of gas discharge lamps and these new types of headlamps meet the requirements of UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulation No 98; whereas it is therefore justified to allow the two items covered by the request for exemption, i. e. the type of gas discharge lamp and the four types of headlamps fitted with this type of lamp, to benefit from the granting of EC type-approval;
Whereas the Community Directives concerned will be amended in order to enable gas discharge lamps embodying this new technology and headlamps fitted with such lamps to be placed on the market;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The request submitted by Luxembourg for an exemption concerning one type of gas discharge lamp for four types of headlamps is hereby approved.

Whereas, the Commission has made a number of adjustments to these weightings in recent months (4) pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations;
