COMMISSION DIRECTIVE

of 13 September 1988

amending Annex II to Council Directive 66/402/EEC on the marketing of cereal seed

(88/506/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 21a thereof,

Whereas, according to present scientific and technical knowledge, it appears that certain varieties of oat (Avena sativa) of the 'naked oat' type have a potential value as fodder;

Whereas, however, it is difficult to produce seed of these varieties with a germination capacity equal to that normally achieved by seed of other oat varieties;

Whereas, in the light of the development of scientific and technical knowledge, it is therefore appropriate to reduce, for varieties of oat of the 'naked oat' type, the minimum germination capacity of 85 % of pure seed laid down for oats in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC;

Whereas this reduction should apply, in the first instance, for a limited period only, so that further technical data about these varieties can be collected and assessed;

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 II to Directive 66/402/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

1. In the Table in section (2) (A), in column 2 ('Minimum germination'), after the figure 85 given for certified seed, 1st and 2nd generation of (inter alia) Avena sativa, the reference '(d)' is added.

2. In section (2) (B), the following condition is added:

'(d) In the case of varieties of Avena sativa which are officially classified as of the 'naked oat' type, Member States may, until 30 June 1990, reduce the minimum germination capacity to 75 % of pure seed. In such a case, the official label shall be endorsed "minimum germination capacity 75 %".'

Article 2

Member States which make use of the possibility added by Article 1 (2) shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of the measures they take for this purpose.

Article 3

This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas Article 1 (4) of Directive 74/651/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 85/349/EEC (5), provides that every two years and for the first time on 31 October1987 at the latest, the Council, acting in accordance with the procedures laid down by the Treaty in the matter, is to adjust the amounts of the reliefs referred to in paragraphs 2(d) and 2(a) of that Article in order to maintain real value;

Whereas, according to the survey conducted by the Commission, the weighted average increase in the price index for the Member States is 11,3% for the period from 1 October 1985 to 1 December 1988;

Whereas the resulting amounts should be rounded off;

Whereas, in the event of the adjustment of the Community relief resulting in a change of less than 5% in the relief expressed in national currency or in a reduction in that relief, the Member State concerned should be permitted to retain the amount, in national currency, obtaining before such change.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Article 1 of Directive 74/651/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

(a) in paragraph 2 (d), '100 ECU' is replaced by 'ECU 110':

(b) in paragraph 2a, '77 ECU' is replaced by 'ECU 85':

(c) a new paragraph 5 is added after paragraph 4, reading as follows:

Whereas Directive 83/129/EEC expires on 1 October 1989;

Whereas the European Parliament has adopted a written declaration calling for an indefinite extension of Directive 83/129/EEC;

Whereas the negative consequences to be expected from the expiry of Directive 83/129/EEC should, in the interest of all parties concerned, be avoided;

Whereas an extension of Directive 83/129/EEC is a useful complementary measure to the measure of the Canadian Government to end all commercial hunting of whitecoats and blue backs;

Whereas there are increasing doubts with regard to the effects of non-traditional hunting on the conservation of harp seals in the East Atlantic, the Barents Sea and the White Sea, where they are, in addition to hunting, also affected by the depletion of prey fish species and entanglement in nets along the Norwegian coast;

Whereas the Commission submitted a report to the Council on 26 August 1983, followed by a supplementary report on 14 June 1985;

Whereas the Commission submitted a further report to the Council on 24 March 1988;

Whereas the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal authorized the Kingdom of Spain to continue to place on its internal market, until 31 December 1987, products of the type 'familiar a la taza' and 'a la taza' under the name of chocolate;

Whereas Directive 73/241/EEC (3), as last amended by the Act of Accession, did not define in Annex I chocolate of this type containing flours and/or starches and intended for consumption after cooking;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2),, and in particular the final sentence of Annex I (4) (A) thereof,

Whereas Commission Directive 87/481/EEC (3) amended the conditions laid down in Annex I (4) to Directive 70/458/EEC for crop isolation for the production of spinach beet seed and beetroot seed;

Whereas, according to Directive 87/481/EEC, the minimum distance from neighbouring plants of the same sub-species which might result in undesirable foreign pollination depends on whether the spinach beet or beetroot crop is of a variety belonging to the same group of varieties as those plants;
