Having regard to the request submitted by Finland,

Whereas in Finland the production of seed of certain varieties of oats (Avena sativa) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) satisfying the requirements of the said Directive in relation to the maximum number of generations of 'certified seed` provided in the said Directive has been insufficient in 1996 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;

Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;

Whereas Finland should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 30 June 1997 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;

Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Finland with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed;

(a) the seed is certified seed of the third generation;

(b) the official label shall bear the endorsement 'seed of the third generation`.
