 ---pagebreak---                              Explanatory Memorandum
Council Directives 66/*fOO/EEC , 66/k01/EEC and 66/402/EEC of l^f June 1966
on the marketing of beet , fodder plant and cereal seed and Council
Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 june 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil
and fibre plants provide that seed of these species may only be
marketed if it has been officially inspected and certified with respect
to identity , varietal purity and quality .     If the seed has been produ­
ced in third countries , it may only be marketed in the Community if
the Council , acting on a proposal from the Commission , establishes the
equivalence of the official tests carried out in individual third
countries .
The Council has already made such equivalence decisions in its Deci­
sions 72/292 , 293/EEC , 73/86 , 87 /EEC , 74/3^8 , 3^9/EEC and 75A07 ,
                   1
4o8/ EEC relating to a large number of third countries . These Deci­
sions expire on 30 June 1976 .
Having regard to current multiplication contracts with commercial
undertakings in third - countries , it is essential to make in good time
the Decisions which will be effective from 1 July 1976 .
Taking into consideration the experience gained in past years from
imports and EEC comparative tests and on the basis of further infor­
mation obtained meanwhile in certain third countries , renewals of
equivalence for the field inspection of seed growing crops in certain
countries - and for seed produced in , these countries can be contemplated .
Since the Annexes of the implementing Decisions relating to the species
subject to certification and the certification authorities are liable
to change continually , it seems desirable to render technical and
administrative adaptations of the Annexes subject to the procedure of
the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agricul­
ture , Horticulture and Forestry .
This procedure should also be introduced into the Second Council Deci­
sion 75/370/ EEC for seed potatoes produced in third countries .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community ;
Having regard to Council Directive No 66/^fOO/EEC ( 1 ) of l*t June on the

on the marketing of fodder plant seed , as last amended by Directive No
75/M*VEEC , and in particular Article 16 ( 1 ) ( a ) thereof :

Having regard to Council Directive No 66/402/EEC            of 14 June 1966
on the marketing of cereal seed , as last amended by Directive No
75/^VEEC , and in particular Article 16 ( 1 ) ( a ) thereof }
Having regard to Council Directive No 69/208/EEC            of 30 June 1969
on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants , as last amended by
Directive No 75/^VEEC , and in particular Article 15 ( 1 ) ( a ) thereof }
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas there ar rules on seed control in Australia , Finland , Greece ,
Israel , Yugoslavia , Canada , New Zealand , Norway , Austria , Poland ,
Portugal , Botnania , Sweden , Switzerland , Spain , South Africa , Czechos-
lowakia , Turkey , Hungary and the United States ; whereas these rules
provide for official field inspection to be carried out during the
period of seed production ;

 Whereas these rules and the manner in which they are applied have
 been reviei/ed and whereas this review has established that the
 prescribed field inspections satisfy the conditions laid down in
 Annex I to the abovementioned Directives ;
 Whereas the Council Decision No 72/292/EEC ( 6 ), 73/86/EEC ( 7 ),
 7V3^8/EEC ( 8 ) and 75/^0'7/EEC ( 9 ) , previously granting equivalence
 of field inspections in the above-mentioned countries expires on .
 30 June 1976 a new decision extending this period seems desirable .
Whereas this Decision does not preclude Community determinations being
 revoked . or . extension of the period of their validity being refused,'
when the conditions on which they are based are not or cease to be
satisfied ; whereas to this end , further practical information on
 seed produced in the abovementioned countries should be obtained by
growing and checking samples of such seed in comparative Community
tests j

Whereas a review of these rules and the manner in which , they are applied
has demonstrated that - the conditions - governing seed" harvested 6nd con­
trolled in these countries afford the same assurances as regards the
seed 's characteristics , identity , examination , marking and control ,
as do the conditions applicable to seed harvested and controlled within
tho Community ;
Whereas the Council Decision N° 72/293/EEC ( 6 ), 73/87/EEC ( 7 ),
7^/3^9/EEC ( 8 ) and 75/^08/EEC ( 9 ) previously granting equivalence of
seed produced in the abovementioned countries expires on 30 Juno 1976
a new- decision "extending this period seems desirable-#
Whereas this Decision does not preclude Community determinations being
revoked or extension of the period of their validity being refused ,
when .the conditions on which they are based are not or cease to be
satisfied j whereas , to this end , further practical information on, seed
produced in the abovementioned countries should be obtained by growing
and checking samples of such seed in comparative Community teste J
Whereas it has become apparent that the technical and administrative
provisions in the annex of the decision , particularly with respect to
the species subject to certification and the. certifying agencies , are
often subject to changes ;
Whereas for the purpose of simplifying the methods which, at present arc
used to modify the annex , it seems desirable that these, changes should
be referred to the procedure of the Standing Committee on Seeds and
Propagating Material for Agriculture , Horticulture and Forestry j

Third Council Decision of               amending the second Decision
75/370/EEC on the equivalence of seed potatoes produced in third
countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community ;
Having regard to Council Directive No 66/*f03/EEC          of Ik June 1966
on the marketing of seed potatoes , as last amended by Directive No
             (?)
75AWEEC           and in particular Article 15 ( 1 ) thereof ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
                                                                           3)
Whereas the Council has declared by its second Decision No 75/ 370/EEC        ,
that seed potaotoes harvested and officially controlled in Austria ,
Poland and in Switzerland afford the same assurances as seed potatoes
harvested and controlled within the Community ;
Whereas it has become apparent that the technical and administrative
provisions in the annex of the second decision in respect fo the third
countries therein listed are often subject to changes .
Whereas for the purpose of simplifying the methods v;hich at present ,
are used to mcdily the anne:c v it seems desireable that these changes should
be referred to the procedure of the Standing Committee on Seeds and
Propagating Material for Agriculture , Horticulture and Forestry .
