95/509/EC: Commission Decision of 1 December 1995 authorizing the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of seed of field bean (Vicia faba L. partim) not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/401/EEC

COMMISSION DECISION of 1 December 1995  authorizing the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of seed of field bean (Vicia faba  L. partim) not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/401/EEC (95/509/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed   (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular  Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the United Kingdom,
Whereas in the United Kingdom the production of seed of winter varieties of field bean (Vicia faba  L. partim) satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/401/EEC in relation to minimum germination  capacity has been insufficient in 1995 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's 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 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 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,
