Whereas for offers and prices which do not comply with the conditions laid down above, the necessary adjustments should be made, and in particular those referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2049/82;

Whereas the world market price may be amended during the intervening period if the factors taken into consideration at the time of its fixing undergo a significant change;

Whereas the world market price has considerably decreased during recent weeks;

Whereas the Management Committee for Dried Fodder has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

COMMISSION DECISION

of 26 April 1985

amending Decision 85/228/EEC authorizing the Kingdom of the Netherlands to permit temporarily the marketing of field pea seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/401/EEC

(85/263/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 Commission Directive 85/38/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,

Having regard to the request submitted by the Kingdom of the Netherlands,

Whereas in the Kingdom of the Netherlands the production of field pea seed (Pisum sativum L. partim) of the type described as 'round for agricultural purposes and dry harvesting' satisfying the requirements laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC was insufficient in 1984 and is not adequate to supply the needs of that country;

Whereas it is not possible to cover these needs satisfactorily by the use of certified seed from other Member States, or even from non-member countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;

Whereas, by its Decision 85/228/EEC of 1 April 1985 (3), the Commission authorized the Kingdom of the Netherlands temporarily to permit the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species of a category subject to less stringent requirements;

Whereas it appears that such authorization is not sufficient to cover the requirements of the Kingdom of the Netherlands;

Whereas the Kingdom of the Netherlands should therefore be authorized temporarily to admit an additional quantity of seed of the abovementioned species of a category subject to less stringent requirements;

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

Decision 85/228/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

1. In Article 1, the quantity '950 tonnes' is replaced by '1 450 tonnes'.

2. In Article 2, the quantity '950 tonnes' is replaced by '1 450 tonnes'.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and wine (1), as last amended by Directive 84/644/EEC (2) and in particular Article 4b (1) (c) thereof,

Whereas Council Decision 82/838/EEC of 3 December 1982 (5) recognizes certain parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as being either officially swine-fever-free or swine-fever-free;

Whereas outbreaks of classical swine fever have been recorded in some of the parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany referred to in Annex I to Decision 82/838/EEC;

Whereas, therefore, the status of the affected parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany with regard to classical swine fever should be temporarily suspended,

derogating from High Authority recommendation No 1-64 on tariff protection in order to enable the generalized tariff preferences to be applied to certain iron and steel products originating in the developing countries

(117th derogation)

(85/317/ECSC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,

Having regard to High Authority recommendation No 1-64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by recommendation 81/772/ECSC (2),

Whereas, for a number of years, the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community meeting within the Council have granted non-member countries covered by the generalized preferences scheme tariff advantages in respect of imports into the Community of certain ECSC iron and steel products in the form of total tariff suspensions without quantitative limits for certain types of product or total tariff suspensions within the limits of quotas either fixed or to be calculated for other types of product;

Whereas the Commission is involved in the negotiation of such concessions and in the decisions of the representatives of the Governments implementing them; whereas the decisions in question are taken with the Commission's full agreement;

Whereas such concessions are covered by Article 3 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64, under which the Commission, after consulting the Member States, can for reasons of commercial policy derogate from the tariff obligations laid down by the recommendation;

Whereas the most recent decision of the Member States establishing tariff concessions was adopted, with the Commission's agreement, on 18 December 1984 (3) and meets the requirements laid down in Article 3 of the recommendation for the granting of a derogation, that as a consequence it is appropriate to grant the derogation for the concessions in question;

Whereas the Member States have been consulted on the draft of this Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from obligations arising under Article 1 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64 to the extent necessary to apply, on imports from non-member countries of iron and steel products covered by the ECSC Treaty, the duty suspensions resulting from the Decision of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community of 18 December 1984.

This Decision is applicable with effect from 1 January 1985. It shall remain in force until 31 December 1985.
