(2)
France supported the request providing all the information listed under Article 17(2)(a) and (b) of the Directive 1999/105/EC as specified by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1602/2002 of 9 September 2002 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 1999/105/EC as regards the authorisation of a Member State to prohibit the marketing of specified forest reproductive material to the end user (2).

A comparison of the climatic conditions of each individual region of provenance in the Iberian Peninsula with those in the regions of France except for Provence Alpes-Côte-d'Azur, Languedoc-Roussillon and Corsica was properly carried out.
