(2002/580/EC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29
September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agri-
cultural plant species (1), and in particular Article 21(1)(b)
thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29
September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed (2), and in
particular Article 32(1)(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Council Decision 97/788/EC of 17 November 1997 on
the equivalence of checks on practices for the mainte-
nance of varieties carried out in third countries (3) deter-
mined that the official checks on practices for the main-
tenance of varieties carried out in certain third countries
afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the
Member States. That Decision expired in the case of
certain third countries on 30 June 1999, and in the case
of other third countries it will expire on 30 June 2002.

It appears that the checks carried out in the third coun-
tries in accordance with Decision 97/788/EC continue to
afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the
Member States.

(3)

Decision 97/788/EC should therefore be
accordingly,
