THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 of 26 October 1971 on common organization of the market in seeds (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 3 (5) thereof,

Whereas, since the last amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76, certified seed of certain varieties of Lolium perenne L. is no longer marketed, while certified seed of other varieties has appeared on the market and will be marketed for the first time during the 1996/97 marketing year; whereas, furthermore, the application of the classification criteria to certain varieties of Lolium perenne L. results in their inclusion in one of the abovementioned lists; whereas the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76 should therefore be amended accordingly;
