Whereas:

(1) Commission Implementing Decision 2014/150/EU (2) sets out the organisation, until 31 December 2018, of a temporary experiment to which any Member State may participate, for the purpose of assessing whether the production, with a view to marketing, and the marketing, under certain conditions, of seed from populations in the meaning of Article 2 of that Decision and belonging to the species Avena spp., Hordeum spp., Triticum spp. and, Zea mays L, may constitute an improved alternative to the exclusion of the marketing of seed not complying with the requirements of Article 2(1)(E), (F) and (G) of Directive 66/402/EEC concerning varietal aspects of seeds of certain species, and with the requirements of Article 3(1) of that Directive concerning the placing on the market with official certification as ‘certified seed’, ‘certified seed, first generation’ or ‘certified seed, second generation’.
