COMMISSION DECISION of 1 December 1995 authorizing the  Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of seed of rye (Secale cereale L.) not satisfying  the requirements of Council Directive 66/402/EEC (95/508/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed  (1),  as last amended by Directive 95/6/EC  (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the requests submitted by the Kingdom of Denmark and the United Kingdom,
Whereas in Denmark and the United Kingdom the production of seed of winter varieties of rye (Secale  cereale L.) satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC in relation to minimum germination  capacity has been insufficient in 1995 and is therefore not adequate to meet those countries'  needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States,  or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas the Kingdom of Denmark and the United Kingdom should therefore be authorized to permit for  a period expiring on 31 December 1995 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject  to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Denmark and the United Kingdom with  such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the  marketing of such seed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the  Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
