Having regard to the request submitted by the French Republic,
Whereas in France the production of seed of varieties of durum wheat satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC has been insufficient in 1987 and therefore is 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 the French Republic should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 30 April 1988, 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 Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided it is intended for France;
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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The French Republic is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1988, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 5 000 tonnes of seed of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) of the category 'certified seed' which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 80 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the following endorsements:
- 'minimum germination capacity 80 %',
- 'intended exclusively for France'.
Article 2
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 5 000 tonnes of durum wheat seed provided that it is intended exclusively for France.
