THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas the present high volume of Community imports 
of bulbs of certain cyclamen species may constitute a 
threat to the conservation status of these species in the 
wild; 
Whereas the inclusion of such species in Part 2 of Annex 
C to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3626/82 (') allows 
for the application of stricter criteria for the issue of 
import permits than their present listing in Appendix II 
to Annex A to that Regulation; 
Whereas Cyclamen persicum, however, has for many 
years been artificially propagated in the Community on a 
large scale as a result of which imports of wild-collected 
bulbs of that species do no longer take place; 
Whereas it is therefore not necessary to maintain the 
present listing of Cyclamen persicum in Part 1 of Annex 
O OJ No L 384, 31. 12. 1982, p. 1. C to Council Regulation No 3626/82; whereas its 
transfer to Part 2 of Annex C of that Regulation 
adequately safeguards the protection of the species' wild 
populations, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
Regulation (EEC) No 3626/82 is hereby amended as 
follows: 
1. In Appendix II to Annex A, under the heading 
PRIMULACEAE, the text between square brackets 
after Cyclamen spp. shall be replaced by: 
C 1: Cyclamen graecum (incl. C mindleri), 
Cyclamen creticum, 
Cyclamen balearicum.

2. In part 1 of Annex C, under the heading

Whereas because of the limited funds at the disposal of 
the agriculture credit institutions it has been possible to

whereas as a result it has been possible for only part of 
the appropriations provided for in Article 4 of Regu­
