EEC should be amended for the reasons set out below;
Whereas the conditions to be satisfied by the crop and by the seed,
including the varietal purity standards, should be amended so as toconform with the schemes for the varietal certification of seed intendedfor international trade laid down by the Organization for Economic

mentation laid down in the second indent of Article 2 of CommissionDirective 78/386/EEC of 18 April 1978 amending the Annexes toDirective 66/401/EEC on the marketing of fodder plant seed(
