COMMISSION DECISION of 12 March 1998 authorising the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of seed of vetch (Vicia sativa L.) not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/401/EEC (98/236/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the request submitted by France,
Whereas in France the production of seed of the category 'certified seed` of vetch (Vicia sativa L.) satisfying the requirements of the said Directive in relation to minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1997 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas France should therefore be authorised to permit for a period expiring on 30 April 1998 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply France with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorised to permit the marketing of such seed;

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
France is authorised to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1998, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 600 tonnes of seed of the category 'certified seed` of vets (Vicia sativa L.) which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the germination capacity is at least 75 % of pure seed and the official label bears the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 75 %`.
Article 2
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorised to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territory of the seed authorised to be marketed under this Decision.

Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the various quantities of seed labelled and permitted to be marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision.

Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases is to be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance was defined in Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).
(2)
By Commission Decision 87/131/EEC (3), the use of one method for grading pig carcases in the Netherlands was authorised.

(4)
The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising these grading methods are fulfilled.
(5)
No modification of the apparatuses or grading methods may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.
(6)
For the sake of clarity, Decision 87/131/EEC should be repealed and replaced by a new decision.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
