The Council in its Decision 78 /476 / EEC of 30 May 1978 stated that official
checks on practices for the maintenance of varieties in certain non-member
countries afforded the same guarantees as checks made by the Member
States and could be regarded as equivalent .
This Decision extends to Rumania for the species Helianthus annuus .
Examination of the nature of the official checks on practices for the
maintenance of varieties has shown that they afford the same guarantees
as those made by the Member States .

 amending      Decision 78 /476 / EEC on the equivalence of checks on practices
 for the maintenance of varieties carried out in non-member countries
 THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
 Having regard to Council Directive 70 /457 / EEC of 29 September 1970 on the
                                                                     (1)

                                     (2 )
 amended by Directive 78 / 692 / EEC      , and in particular Article 21(1)(b )
 thereof ,
 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
 Whereas , by Decision 78 /476 / EEC ( 3 ), the Council has noted that the official
 checks on practices for the maintenance carried in certain non-member
 countries afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member
 States ;
 Whereas in the meantime it has been established that such practices are
also officially checked in Romania for a certain species ;
 Whereas an examination of the conditions under which official checks on prac­
tices for the maintenance of varieties are carried out in Romania has shown that
 checks afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member States ;
 Whereas Romania should therefore also be granted equivalence ;
