Whereas by Commission Decision 98/92/EC (5) deroga-
tions provided for by certain Member States from certain
provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC in respect of seed
potatoes originating in Canada have been authorised until
31 March 1998;

Whereas the authorisation granted to Member States by
Article 15(2a) should accordingly be extended;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are
in accordance with the opinion of
the Standing
Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agri-
culture, Horticulture and Forestry,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
