COMMISSION DECISION

of 1 February 1989

authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to permit temporarily the marketing of forestry seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 71/161/EEC

(Only the German text is authentic)

(89/132/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 71/161/EEC of 30 March 1971 on external quality standards for forest reproductive material marketed within the Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Article 15 thereof,

Having regard to the request submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany,

Whereas in Germany the production of seed of Quercus pedunculata and Quercus sessiliflora satisfying the requirements laid down in Directive 71/161/EEC was insufficient in 1988 and is not adequate to supply Germany's needs;

Whereas it has not been possible to cover those needs satisfactorily at this stage by the use of seed from other Member States, or even from non-member countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;

Whereas Germany should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1989, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;

Whereas Council Directive 66/404/EEC on the marketing of forest reproductive material (3), as last amended by Directive 88/332/EEC (4), provides that reproductive material may be marketed only if it is accompanied by a document bearing certain details of the reproductive material in question;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to permit, until 30 April 1989, the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 4 000 kilograms of seed of Quercus pedunculata Ehrh. and 4 000 kilograms of seed of Quercus sessiliflora Sal. which does not satisfy the requirements relating to specific purity in Annex I to Directive 71/161/EEC, provided that the following requirement is satisfied: the document required under Article 9 shall state: 'Seed not satisfying the standards in respect of specific purity'.

Article 2

The Federal Republic of Germany shall notify the Commission before 31 May 1989 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territories pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

Having regard to Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Article 14 (1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the Council, in its Decision 78/262/EEC (3), determined that forest reproductive material produced in Austria and belonging to the species, basic materials or regions of provenance and categories specified in the Annex to the abovementioned Decision affords the same assurances as regards the genetic characters of its basic material and the measures taken for its source-identification as does reproductive material produced within the Community and complying with the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC, provided that the special conditions set out in that Annex are satisfied; whereas that Decision applied only until 31 December 1983;

Whereas the factual elements on the basis of which this determination of equivalence was made have not altered since that date;

Whereas equivalence may therefore in principle be determined for a second given period for the specific forest reproductive material referred to in Decision 78/262/EEC, subject to the provisions laid down in that Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
