Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 92/34/EEC of 28 April 1992 on the marketing of fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production (1), as last extended by Decision 97/110/EC (2) and in particular Article 20 (2) thereof,

Whereas under this Directive comparative trials and tests shall be carried out in the Member States on samples to check that propagating material or fruit plants of genera and species listed therein comply with the requirements and conditions of the said Directive;

Whereas to this end, it is essential, in particular in the early stages of the Directive's implementation, to ensure adequate representation of the samples participating in the trials and tests for the different origins of production in the entire Community, at least for certain selected crops;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to carry out Community comparative trials and tests in 1997/98 on propagating, and planting material of strawberries (Fragaria);

Whereas it is necessary for all Member States to participate in the Community comparative trials and tests, in so far as propagating and planting material of strawberries are usually propagated or marketed in their territories, in order to ensure that proper conclusions may be drawn therefrom;

Whereas these Community comparative trials and tests will be used to harmonize, in the first instance, the technical methods of examination of propagating and planting material of these species;

Whereas the measures provided for in this decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Propagating Material and Plants of Fruit Genera and Species,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. Community comparative trials and tests shall be carried out during 1997/98 on propagating and planting material of strawberries (Fragaria).

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113, in conjunction with Article 228 (2), first sentence thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the Agreement on telecommunications procurement and the Agreement in the form of a memorandum concerning the procurement of private telecommunications operators between the European Community and the Republic of Korea should be approved;

Whereas the conclusion of the Agreement on telecommunications procurement and the Agreement in the form of a memorandum should be based on Article 113 of the Treaty because the Agreements apply only to products and services which are incidental to the procurement of these products;

Whereas it is appropriate that the Council should authorize the Commission, in consultation with a special committee to be appointed by the Council, to approve modifications on behalf of the Community of Annex I to the Agreement on telecommunications procurement; whereas, however, such authorization will be limited to the modifications resulting from the application of the procedure of Article 8 of Council Directive 93/38/EEC of 14 June 1993 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors (1),

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Agreement on telecommunications procurement and the Agreement in the form of a memorandum concerning the procurement of private telecommunications operators between the European Community and the Republic of Korea are hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

Article 2

The President of the Council is hereby authorized to designate the person empowered to sign the Agreement and the memorandum in order to bind the Community.

Article 3

The Commission is hereby authorized to approve, on behalf of the Community, modifications to Annex I to the Agreement on telecommunications procurement.

The Commission shall be assisted in this task by a special committee appointed by the Council.

The authorization referred to in the first subparagraph shall be limited to the modifications that will be necessary were the procedures laid down in Article 8 of Directive 93/38/EEC to be applied.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 97/27/EC (2), and in particular Article 8 (2) (c) thereof,

Whereas by Decision 95/460/EC (3) of 19 October 1995 the Commission approved the request for an exemption submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/156/EEC concerning one type of gas discharge lamp for four types of headlamp for motor vehicles, meeting the requirements of ECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulation Nos 8, 98 and 99, with a view to the granting of EC type approval;

Whereas the request for an extension of the exemption submitted by Germany on 14 July 1997 is justified by the fact that the measures needed to adapt the directives which were the subject of that exemption have not yet come into force and the exemption should therefore be extended until the entry into force of the adaptations to those directives and, in any case, for a maximum period of 24 months;

Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The exemption granted to Germany by Commission Decision 95/460/EEC of 19 October 1995 is hereby extended until the entry into force of the adaptations to the directives concerned and, in any case, for a period not exceeding twenty-four months.
