COMMISSION DECISION

of 8 September 1988

amending Decision 87/309/EEC authorizing the indelible printing of prescribed information on packages of seed of certain fodder plant species

(88/493/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular the last sentence of Article 10 (1) (a) thereof,

Whereas fodder plant seed may not normally be placed on the market unless its packages are labelled with an official label in accordance with the provisions laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC;

Whereas, however, the indelible printing of the required information on the package itself, on the basis of the model laid down for the label, may be authorized;

Whereas the Commission has already granted such an authorization by Decision 87/309/EEC (3);

Whereas Commission Decision 80/755/EEC of 17 July 1980 authorizing the indelible printing of prescribed information on packages of cereal seed (4), as amended by Decision 81/109/EEC (5), granted a similar authorization for cereal seed; whereas, under that Decision, the required information which must be printed or stamped when samples are taken is less extensive than in the case of fodder plant seed;

Whereas, in the course of applying Decision 87/309/EEC, it has become apparent that that Decision should be amended so that its provisions as regards the required information which must be printed or stamped on packages when samples are taken are the same as those laid down by Decision 80/755/EEC for cereal seed;

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

In Article 1 (2) (c) of Decision 87/309/EEC, 'Annex IV (A) (a) (3), (3a) and (6)' is replaced by 'Annex IV, Part A, point I (a) (3) and (3a)'.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

of 13 April 1988

granting a discharge to the Commission in respect of the financial management of the third European Development Fund during the 1986 financial year

(88/333/EEC)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT,

- having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

- having regard to the Conventions signed in Yaoundé on 20 July 1963 and 29 July 1969,

- having regard to the balance sheets and accounts of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth European Development Funds for the 1986 financial year (COM(87) 192 final),

- having regard to the report of the Court of Auditors concerning the 1986 financial year accompanied by the replies of the Institutions (1),

- whereas the Financial Regulation applicable to the third EDF conferred responsibility for granting a discharge on the Council in accordance with the provisions of the EEC Treaty then in force; drawing attention, however, to the fact that these provisions in the EEC Treaty were amended successively by the 1970 and 1975 Treaties and that general responsibility for granting a discharge has been conferred on Parliament; whereas the existing non-budgetized status of the EDF, which disregards several provisions in the Treaty, could in no circumstances justify any limitation on Parliament's power to grant a discharge,

- drawing attention to the fact that the discharge decision primarily concerns the results of the financial year in question and not an accumulation of results,

- having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinion of the Committee on Development and Cooperation (Doc. A 2-6/88),

1. Grants a discharge to the Commission in respect of the financial management of the third European Development Fund during the 1986 financial year on the basis of the following figures:

- payments: 3 653 000 ECU;

2. Records its observations in the resolution (2) accompanying this Decision;

3. Instructs its President to forward this Decision and the resolution containing its observations to the Commission the Council, the Court of Auditors and the European Investment Bank and to ensure that it is published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (L series).
