Experience with regard to supplies of fibre flax seed shows that it is necessary
to retain the category of " certified seeds of the third generation " for an inde­
finite period . With regard to Linseed , the production conditions developped recently
in some Member States do justify to retain the category of " certified seeds of the
third generation " beyond 30 June 1?82 until 30 June 1983 in order to get these
production conditions adapted to the supplies of linseed being assured by seed of
the first and second generation . The present draft aims therefore at a modification
of directive 69 / 208 / EEC on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants .

                                      <
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and in
particular Article 43 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal by the Commission ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ( 1 ),
Whereas , for the reasons given below , Council Directive 69 /208 / EEC ( 2 ), as last
 amended by Directive 81 / 126 / EEC ( 3 ), should be amended ;
Whereas experience with regard to supplies of fibre flax seed shows that it is
necessary to retain , at this stage , the category       of " certified seeds of the third
generation " for an indefinite period ;
Whereas with regard to linseed , the production conditions developped recently in some
Member States justi fy retention of the category of " certified seed of the third
generation " for a further year ; whereas this extension should be sufficient to enable
those conditions      to be adapted to ensure adequate supplies of linseed on the basis of
  seeds of the categories " certified seed of the first generation " and " certified seed
 of the second generation ";
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE :
                                        Article 1
