COMMISSION DECISION
of 18 October 2001
authorising Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of
forest reproductive material not satisfying the requirements of
Council Directives 66/404/EEC and 71/161/EEC
(notified under document number C(2001) 2859)
(2001/765/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the
marketing of forest reproductive material (1), as last amended by the Act
of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article15 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 71/161/EEC of 30 March 1971 on
external quality standards for forest reproductive material marketedwithin the Community (
2), as last amended by the Act of Accession of
Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Having regard to the requests submitted by 12 Member States,Whereas:
(1) Production of reproductive material of the species set out in the
Annexes is at present insufficient in certain Member States withthe result that their requirements for reproductive materialconforming to the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC or 71/
161/EEC cannot be met.
(2) Third countries are not in a position to supply sufficient
reproductive material of the relevant species affording the sameguarantees as Community reproductive material and conformingto the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC or 71/161/EEC.
(3) Accordingly, the Member States concerned, namely Belgium,
Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and the United Kingdom, haverequested the Commission pursuant to those Directives toauthorise them to accept for marketing reproductive materialand/or seed satisfying less stringent requirements than those laiddown by those Directives.
(4) In order to cover the shortage, the applicant Member Statesshould therefore be authorised to permit, for a limited period, themarketing of reproductive material of the relevant species whichsatisfies less stringent requirements.
(5) For genetic reasons, the reproductive material should be collectedat places of origin within the natural range of the relevant species
and the strictest possible guarantees should be given to ensure the
identity of the material. Furthermore, reproductive materialshould be marketed only if it is accompanied by a documentbearing certain details of the reproductive material in question.
(6) Any Member State should furthermore be authorised to permit, inits territory, the following three marketing operations: the
marketing of seed and seedlings which satisfy less stringent
requirements in respect of provenance; the marketing of seed andseedlings which satisfy less stringent requirements in respect ofthe category, as laid down in Directive 66/404/EEC for Populus
nigra ; and the marketing of seed which satisfies less stringent
requirements in respect of specific purity as laid down in
Directive 71/161/EEC, if the marketing of such material has beenauthorised in the other Member States under this Decision.2001D0765 — EN — 10.01.2002 — 001.001 — 2
