COMMISSION DECISION of 17 March 1993 releasing the Kingdom of Denmark from the requirements to indicate on the official label the botanical name in respect of cereal seed, under Council Directive 66/402/EEC (Only the Danish text is authentic)

(93/208/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/2/EEC (2), and in particular Article 14 (3) thereof,

Whereas in accordance with the abovementioned Directive, the botanical name of the species should be given according to the provisions of point 4 of Annex IV (A) (a) to the same Directive applicable to the marking of seed packages;

Whereas, however, Member States may be released from such a requirement, where appropriate, for limited periods, where it has been established that the disadvantages of its implementation outweigh the advantages expected for the marketing of seed;

Whereas in Denmark, by virtue of Commission Decision 80/755/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 81/109/EEC (4) the required information to be printed on the label is printed indelibly by electronic printers on the package itself; whereas, until 1 June 1993, it is difficult to change the said printing system in Denmark in order to be able to print both the botanical and the common Danish name on the said package;

Whereas, therefore, Denmark wishes for the time being to be released from the requirement to indicate the botanical name on the package;

Whereas Denmark should consequently be released until 1 June 1993 from the requirements to indicate the botanical name in respect of cereal seed, in so far this applies to packages subject to indelible printing of prescribed information under Decision 80/755/EEC;

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

1. The Kingdom of Denmark is hereby released from the labelling requirement in respect of the indication of the botanical name of the species, laid down in point 4 of Annex IV (A) (a) to Directive 66/402/EEC.

COMMISSION DECISION of 1 April 1993 on the release of securities relating to certain licences and certificates issued under the supply arrangements for the Canary Islands introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92

(93/233/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Articles 3 (4), 4 (4), 5 (2) and 6 (2) thereof,

Whereas the entry into force of the supply arrangements for the Canary Islands was achieved by centralizing the administrative procedures relating to the submission of applications and the issue of licences and certificates; whereas such centralization of the procedures is justified by the need to verify that the supply system is being correctly administered; whereas, however, the transition from the former to the new arrangements has created certain problems of assessment of the needs of Canarian importers; whereas such importers have, on occasion, applied for the issue of import licences, exemption certificates and aid certificates in respect of quantities exceeding realistic utilization levels;

Whereas the issue of licences, and certificates shall be conditional upon the lodging of a security; whereas that security shall be forfeit in the event of non-observance of the obligation to use the licence or certificate;

Whereas a temporary provision derogating from a strict application of the rules governing such licences and certificates is warranted in order to facilitate the transition from the former to the new supply arrangements for the Canary Islands;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant Management Committees,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Securities lodged for the import licences, the exemption certificates and the aid certificates:

- which have been issued during the period 1 July to 30 September 1992 pursuant to Articles 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Regulation No 1601/92, and

- which have been used only partly or not at all,

shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 (2).
