amending the Annexes to Directive 66/401/EEC on the marketing
offodderplantseed
(78/386/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on
the marketing of fodder plant seed(1), aslas t amended by Directive
78/55/EEC(2), and in particular Article 21a thereof,
Whereas, in the light of the development of scientific and technical
knowledge, AnnexesI, II and III to the Directive s hould be amended
for the set reasons out below;
Whereas, in order to improve the genetic value of seeds, provision
should be made for varietal purity standards which the crop mustsatisfy in the case of certain spiecies;
Whereas in this respect, in the case of self-fertilized species and of
apomictic uniclonal varieties of Poa spp., provision should be made
for varietal purity standards which the seeds must satisfy;
Whereas provision should be made for conditions to be satisfied by the
crop as regards the presence of harmful organisms which reduce theusefulness of the seed;
Whereas special standards should be set in respect of the maximum
content of further undesiderable or noxious seeds as Agropyron repens,
Avena ludoviciana, Avena sterilis, Melilotus spp., Sinapis arvensis,
Raphanus raphanistrum or Rumex species other than Rumex acetosella,Rumex crispus and Rumex obtusifolius;
Whereas standards in respect of minimum germination capacity and of
minimum analytical purity should be adapted in the light of the devel-opment of the seed quality normally achieved;
Whereas, in order to satisfy the conditions for official examination of
seed carried out in accordance with current international methods, it isnecessary to revise certain provisions;
Whereasthe meas uresprovided for in thisDirective are in accordance
with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seedsand PropagatingMaterial for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
