(89/575/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/2/EEC (2),
Having regard to Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (3), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (4),
Having regard to the Seventh Council Decision 85/355/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops (5), as last amended by Decision 89/532/EEC (6), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, in Decision 85/355/EEC, the Council determined that field inspections carried out in certain third countries on seed-producing crops of certain species satisfy the conditions laid down in the Community Directives;
Whereas for beet seed that determination includes Turkey;
Whereas examination of the rules of Turkey and of the manner in which they are applied has shown that the prescribed field inspections in Turkey satisfy the conditions laid down in Annex I to Directive 66/402/EEC for sorghum, Sudan grass, hybrids resulting from the crossing of sorghum and Sudan grass and maize and the conditions laid down in Annex I to Directive 69/208/EEC for soya bean and sunflower;
Whereas the existing equivalence for Turkey should therefore be extended accordingly;
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,
