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 Commission Directive 93/2/EEC (2), and in particular Article 14 (1a) thereof,

Having regard to the request submitted by Finland,
Whereas the abovementioned Directive lays down tolerances as regards the presence of Avena fatua in cereal seed;
Whereas it nevertheless permits Member States to subject seeds of their home production to requirements which are more rigourous;
Whereas Finland avails itself of this provision;
Whereas, moreover, there is a campaign to eradicate Avena fatua from crops grown in this Member State;
Whereas the applicant Member State should therefore be authorized to adopt more stringent provisions as regards the marketing of seed originating in other Member States;
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,
