Whereas propagating material and ornamental plants imported by a Member State in accordance with a decision taken by that Member State pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 16 (2) 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 measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Propagating Materials and Ornamental Plants,

Whereas the Government of the United Kingdom forwarded to the Commission on 24 March 1988 a revised agricultural development programme for the less-favoured areas of Northern Ireland;
Whereas the said programme comprises all the information listed in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1942/81 which ensures that the objectives of the said Regulation may be achieved;
Whereas the programme provides for a longer duration and a greater total public expenditure than provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1942/81;
Whereas, nevertheless, the limits as to level of aid respect all the limitations of this Regulation and the restrictions laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 of 12 March 1985 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3913/87 (4), and the contribution of European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) (Guidance Section) is fixed at 57 million ECU for the duration of the programme;
Whereas in conformity with Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 1942/81 it is necessary in agreement with the United Kingdom to fix the manner in which periodic information is to be provided on the progress of the programme; whereas it is therefore appropriate to amend the Commission Decision of 13 July 1982 laying down detailed rules on the periodical provision of information on the progress of the implementation of the programme for the stimulation of agricultural development in the less-favoured areas pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1942/81 (5).

Whereas, on the basis of these provisions, licences have been issued for a quantity of 10 000 tonnes and, consequently, Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1914/86 (5) lays down that as from 1 July 1986 no further licences will be issued; whereas, however, it has been impossible to use a considerable number of these licences owing to certain problems connected with the measures taken by one of the third countries in which the products in question originate; whereas it seems appropriate to make a certain quantity available whilst ensuring that the total quantity imported does not exceed the figure of 10 000 tonnes laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3655/85;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
