*****COMMISSION  DECISION  of 30 December 1982  authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to restrict the marketing of seed of certain varieties of agricultural plant species  (Only the German text is authentic)  (82/949/EEC)  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Council Directive 80/1141/EEC of 8 December 1980 (2), and in particular Article 15 (2), (3) and (7) thereof,  Having regard to the application lodged by the Federal Republic of Germany,  Whereas under Article 15 (1) of the said Directive, seed or propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted during 1980 in one or more Member States and which also meet the conditions laid down in the said Directive are, with effect from 31 December 1982, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to variety in the Community;  Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) thereof provides that a Member State may be authorized upon application to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;  Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany has applied for such authorization for a certain number of varieties of different species;  Whereas the variety Kawetanya (sugar beet) and the concerned varieties of oats and of maize have not been the subject of official growing trials in the Federal Republic of Germany in view of the German application;  Whereas the said variety of sugar beet has been the subject in the Federal Republic of Germany of an application for official acceptance in so far as their seed is to be marketed in another country (Article 4 (2) (b) thereof); whereas, therefore, even the applicant has not claimed that this variety has any satisfactory value for cultivation or use in the Federal Republic of Germany; whereas, therefore, this variety can be treated as not producing results in the Federal Republic of Germany, which, with respect to their qualities taken as a whole as regards their value for cultivation or use, correspond to those obtained from a comparable variety accepted there (first subparagraph of Article 15 (3) (c) thereof);  Whereas the varieties of oats concerned are of the winter type; whereas the varieties of maize concerned have an FAO maturity class index over 350; whereas it is well known that the varieties of winter oats and the varieties of maize which have an FAO maturity class over 350 are at present not yet suitable for cultivation in view of all the kinds of utilization in the Federal Republic of Germany (second subparagraph of Article 15 (3) (c) of the said Directive);  Whereas, in respect of the variety Checker (red fescue), the results of the trials show that in the Federal Republic of Germany, when compared with the national rules governing the acceptance of varieties there, which apply within the framework of current Community provisions, it is not sufficiently uniform in certain characteristics (Article 15 (3) (a), third case, of the said Directive);  Whereas, therefore, the application of the Federal Republic of Germany in respect of all these varieties should be granted in full;  Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:  Article 1  1.
