similar electrical appliances, published in IEC Publication 704-1, 1982, First Edition, 
and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (Cenelec) has

The noise levels of each family of household appliance shall be determined in accordance with

Electrotechnical Commission, which has been endorsed by the European Committee for 
Electrotechnical Standardization (Cenelec) in Harmonization Document HD 423-1. The 
values obtained in this way constitute the basic data for checking the accuracy of their noise 
emission with the declared values. Unless otherwise indicated, these values are inclusive of 
tolerances. This test code is applicable unless separate Directives lay down different or sup­
plementary provisions taking into account the special characteristics of certain types of 
household appliances.'

Proposal for a Council Directive amending Directive 66/403/EEC on the marketing of 
seed potatoes 
COM(83) 792 final 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 16 January 1984) 
(84/C 19/06) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the 
European Economic Community, and in particular 
Articles 43 and 100 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas Council Directive 66/403/EEC (*), as last 
amended by Directive 81/561/EEC (2), provides that 
in principle from 1 July 1975 onwards Member States 
may no longer determine for themselves the 
equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third 
countries with basic seed potatoes or certified seed 
potatoes harvested within the Community and 
complying with the provisions of that Directive; 
Whereas, however, since work to establish 
Community equivalence for all the third countries 
concerned had not yet been completed, Article 
15 (2a) of that Directive permits Member States to 
extend to 31 December 1982 the period of validity of 
equivalences which they had already determined in respect of certain countries not covered by the 
Community equivalences; whereas in practice this 
extension has only been applied in respect of Canada; 
Whereas the said work is still incomplete and the 
final date for the extension of the period of validity 
of national findings of equivalence should be deferred 
to 31 January 1984; 
Whereas these measures do not affect Member States' 
obligations under the common rules on plant health 
laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 
December 1976 on protective measures against the 
introduction into the Member States of organisms 
harmful to plants or plant products (3), as last 
amended by Directive 81/7/EEC (4), 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: 
Article 1 
In Article 15 (2a) of Directive 66/403/EEC, '31 
December 1982' is hereby replaced by '31 January 
1984'.
