Whereas in Sweden the production of seed of certain varieties of the category 'certified seed` of sheep's fescue (Festuca ovina 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 those varieties have proven to be suitable under the climatic conditions in the northern part of the applicant country, to have good wintering capacity and to be resistant to winter damage;
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 Sweden 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 Sweden with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorised to permit the marketing of such seed;

(ii) Barreppo;
(iii) Biljart;
(iv) Valda;

Article 3
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.
