The ISTA/ISF Experiment on Herbage Seed Lot Size continues until 31 December 2013.

The temporary experiment provided for in Decision 2007/66/EC should also end on 31 December 2013 in order to align the end date of that experiment with the end date of the ISTA/ISF experiment.

In addition, the reference to the ISTA/ISF experiment should be updated as there is a new website.

Decision 2007/66/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
