COUNCIL DIRECTIVE

of 4 March 1974

on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to weights of from 1 mg to 50 kg of above-medium accuracy

(74/148/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;

Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee;

Whereas the manufacture and the procedures for inspection of weights of above-medium accuracy are subject to strict regulations which differ between Member States and thus hinder trade in these weights; whereas these regulations must therefore be aligned;

Whereas the Council Directive of 26 July 1971 (1) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to common provisions for both measuring instruments and methods of metrological control laid down the EEC pattern approval procedure and the EEC initial verification procedure; whereas, pursuant to that Directive, the technical specifications which weights of above-medium accuracy must satisfy in order to be put freely on the market and into service, after verifications and affixing of the EEC initial verification mark, must be laid down;

Whereas account should be taken of the draft international recommendation, ‘valeur conventionnelle du résultat des pesées dans l'air’, of the International Organization of Legal Metrology, May 1973, in respect of the concept of conventional mass,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

This Directive concerns weights of above-medium accuracy the nominal value of which is equal to 1 mg or more and less than or equal to 50 kg.

This Directive does not apply to metric carat weights or to special weights covered by other directives.

Article 2

Weights which may receive the EEC marks and signs are listed in the Annex. They are not subject to EEC pattern approval; they must undergo EEC initial verification.

Article 3

No Member State may prevent, prohibit or restrict the placing on the market or entry into service of weights referred to in Article 1 and bearing the EEC initial verification mark.

Article 4

1. Member States shall put into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions needed in order to comply with this Directive within eighteen months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

2. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.

Article 5

This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE of 4 December 1973 amending Annex 3 to the Council Directive of 30 March 1971 on external quality standards for forest reproductive material (74/13/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to the Council Directive of 30 March 1971 (1) on external quality standards for forest reproductive material, and in particular Article 9 thereof;

Whereas the aforementioned Directive provides that the contents of the Annexes should be revised from time to time in order to meet the requirements of production and marketing techniques;

Whereas reafforestation of high altitude regions requires the use of plants which have been raised in similar ecological conditions ; whereas these plants should be stocky in form;

Whereas no standard exists yet for this form with regard to Pinus nigra (other than Austrica) ; whereas such standards should therefore be introduced into the Directive;

Whereas, moreover, with regard to Picea abies, the maximum age for plants whose height is between twenty and thirty centimetres should be raised;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the Opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Annex 3 of the Council Directive of 30 March 1971 on external quality standards for forest reproductive material is amended as follows: 1. In 3.2.1.2 the figure 4 on the second line of the column headed "Maximum age" for the species Picea abies under "Stocky young plants" is prepared by the figure 5.

2. In 3.2.1.2 the following standards are inserted for the species Pinus nigra (other than Austriaca) concerning stocky young plants: >PIC FILE= "T0005451">

Article 2

The Member States shall, not later than 1 July 1974, bring into force the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
