COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 26 May 1986
amending Directive 66/403/EEC on the marketing of seed potatoes
(86/215/EEC)
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,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Directive 66/403/EEC (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (3), provides that in principle from 1 July 1975 onwards Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with basic seed potatoes or certified seed potatoes harvested within the Community and complying with that Directive;
Whereas, however, since work to establish Community equivalence for all the third countries concerned had not been completed, Article 15 (2a) of that Directive permitted Member States to extend to 31 January 1984 the period of validity of equivalences which they had already determined in respect of certain countries not covered by the Community equivalences;
Whereas the said work is still incomplete and the said final date should be deferred to dates determined in accordance with Member States' obligations under the common rules on plant health laid down by 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 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85;
Whereas this measure does not affect the aforementioned obligations and, in respect of seed potatoes produced in Canada, the extension can therefore be used only by the Hellenic Republic and the Italian Republic, within the limits set up by Commission Decision 86/120/EEC (5) and by the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic which, under the terms of the Act of Accession, will not be implementing the provisions of the aforementioned Directive before 30 June 1986,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
In Article 15 (2a) of Directive 66/403/EEC, '31 January 1984' is replaced by '31 March 1986' and the following sentence added:
'With regard to Spain and Portugal, "31 March 1986" shall be replaced by "30 June 1986" and "1 July 1975" by "1 January 1986".'
Article 2
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1) on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff, as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2857/91 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2275/88 (3) lays down measures concerning the classification in the combined nomenclature of, inter alia, a product known as 'mecadeck';
Whereas the Community is a signatory to the International Convention on the harmonized commodity description and coding system, known as the harmonized system;
Whereas the Customs Cooperation Council, by virtue of the authority invested in it under the abovementioned convention, has issued a harmonized system classification opinion in respect of the product known as 'mecadeck';
Whereas the combined nomenclature is based on the harmonized system; whereas, as a consequence, account should be taken of this classification opinion at the Community level,

Whereas in Austria the production of seed of certain winter varieties of rye (Secale cereale L.) satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC in relation to minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1996 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs; whereas those varieties are varieties which are considered to be particularly compatible with the protection of the environment and the countryside;
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 Austria should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31 December 1996 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Austria with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on seeds and propagating material for agriculture, horticulture and forestry,
