COMMISSION  DECISION
of 28 September 1984
amending Decision 84/108/EEC authorizing Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of forest reproductive material not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/404/EEC
(84/480/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 15 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the Kingdom of Denmark,
Whereas the production of forest reproductive material is at present insufficient in all Member States so that their requirements for reproductive material conforming to the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC cannot be met;
Whereas third countries are not in a position to supply sufficient reproductive material of the relevant species which can afford the same guarantees as Community reproductive material and which conforms to the provisions of the abovementioned Directive;
Whereas by Decision 84/108/EEC (2), the Commission authorized the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of forest reproductive material which satisfies less stringent requirements;
Whereas it has appeared that this authorization is not sufficient to cover fully the requirements of the Kingdom of Denmark;
Whereas the Kingdom of Denmark should therefore be authorized to permit temporarily the marketing in its own territory also of plants of Quercus pedunculata Ehrh. produced in Sweden from seed satisfying less stringent requirements as well as - under the terms set out in Decision 84/108/EEC - of seed of Larix decidua Mill. which satisfies less stringent requirements;
Whereas certain cross references within the abovementioned Decision have been found not to be accurate and should therefore be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
