                       EXPLANATORY MEMORAJTDUM
By virtue of the rules on the common organization of ihe market in
seeds , when production aid is granted , the only products which can
qualify are those which are officially certified and which oomply with
the definitions laid down by the Directives concerning marketing and
with the standards and conditions fixed in those^ Directives .
The provisions of the Act of Accession of Greece concerning legislation
in respect of seeds and seedlings grant the Hellenic Republic a period
of 5 years , expiring on 31 December 1 9^5 » to - comply with the Community
provisions for admission of varieties and marketing of seeds and
seedlings. Daring that period , Greece is authorised to apply its own
rules for admission of varieties , certification and control on produc­
tion , but cannot export products other than those which comply with
the Community rules to the other Member States .
                        I
However, where the necessary conditions are fulfilled a decision may
be taken in accordance with the procedure of the Standing . Committee on
Agricultural , Horticultural and Forestry Seeds and Seedlings to free
trade in certain species between Greece and the other Member States
before 31 Deoember 1985 *
As the seeds for which such a decision is taken fulfil the conditions
fixed in the provisions applicable to Community production, it is
proposed that they qualify for the Community aid for production of
seeds during the period' 1 January 1981 to 31 December 1 985 and, accor­
dingly, that Article 1 of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1674/72 of
2 August 1972 laying down general rules for granting and financing
aid for seed be amended.
