THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee(3),
Whereas the production of vegetables occupies an important place in
the agriculture of the Community;
Whereas satisfactory results in the cultivation of vegetables depend to a
large extent on the quality and plant health not only of the seed alreadycovered by Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on
the marketing of vegetable seed(
4) but also of the vegetable planting
material used for their propagation; whereas certain Member Stateshave in consequence introduced rules intended to guarantee the qualityand plant health of the propagating and planting material of vegetableplants placed on the market;
Whereas the different treatment accorded to vegetable propagating and
planting material in different Member States is likely to create barriersto trade and thus hinder the free movement of these products within theCommunity; whereas, with a view to achieving the internal market,these barriers should be removed by adopting Community provisions
to replace those laid down by the Member States;
Whereas the establishment of harmonized conditions at Community
level will ensure that purchasers throughout the Community receivevegetable propagating and planting material which is healthy and of
good quality;
Whereas, in so far as they relate to plant health, such harmonized
conditions must be consistent with Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction intothe Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products(
5);
Whereas, without prejudice to the plant-health provisions of Directive
77/93/EEC, it is not appropriate to apply the Community rules on themarketing of vegetable propagating and planting material when it isshown that such products are intended for export to third countries, as
the rules applicable there may be different from those contained in this
Directive;
Whereas the determination of plant-health and quality standards for
each genus and species of vegetable plant requires lengthy and detailed
technical and scientific consideration; whereas a procedure should
accordingly be established for that purpose;
Whereas in the first instance it is the responsibility of the suppliers of
vegetable propagating and planting material to ensure that theirproducts fulfil the conditions laid down in this Directive;1992L0033 — EN — 20.01.1997 — 004.001 — 2

Whereas the competent authorities of the Member States must, when
carrying out controls and inspections, ensure that suppliers fulfil thoseconditions;
Whereas Community control measures should be introduced to ensure
the uniform application in all the Member States of the standards laiddown in this Directive;
Whereas it is in the interests of the purchasers of vegetable propagating
and planting materials that the name of varieties be known and theiridentity safeguarded;
Whereas, to this end, provision should be made as far as possible for
the application of the rules on the varietal aspect as established withrespect to the marketing of vegetable seed;
Whereas, in order to ensure the identity and orderly marketing of vege-
table propagating and planting material, Community rules must be laiddown concerning the separation of lots, and marking; whereas the
labels used should give the particulars needed both for official control
and for the information of the user;
Whereas rules should be established permitting, in cases of temporary
supply difficulties, the marketing of vegetable propagating and planting
material subject to requirements less stringent than those contained inthis Directive;
Whereas, as a first steptowards harmonized conditions, Member States
should be prohibited in the case of the genera and species referred to inAnnex II, for which fact-sheets will be drawn up, from imposing newconditions or restrictions on the marketing, other than those providedfor in this Directive;
Whereas provisions should be made for authorizing the marketing
within the Community of vegetable propagating and planting materialproduced in third countries, provided always that it affords the same
assurances as vegetable propagating and planting material produced in
the Community and complying with Community rules;
Whereas, in order to harmonize technical methods of examination used
in the Member States and to compare propagating and planting material
and vegetable plants produced in the Community with that produced in
third countries, comparative trials should be carried out to checkcompliance of such products with the requirements of this Directive;
Whereas, in order to facilitate the effective operation of this Directive,
the Commission should be entrusted with the task of adopting measuresfor its implementation and for the amendment of its Annex, and toprovide a procedure to that end involving close cooperation betweenthe Commission and the Member States within a Standing Committee
on Seeds and Propagating Materials, Agriculture, Horticulture and
Forestry,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
