95/232/EC: Commission Decision of 27 June 1995 on the organization of a temporary experiment under Council Directive 69/208/EEC in order to establish conditions to be satisfied by the seed of hybrids and varietal associations of swede rape and turnip rape

COMMISSION DECISION of 27 June 1995 on the organization of a temporary experiment under Council  Directive 69/208/EEC in order to establish conditions to be satisfied by the seed of hybrids and  varietal associations of swede rape and turnip rape (95/232/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF  THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and  fibre plants  (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in  particular Article 12a thereof,
Whereas Directive 69/208/EEC did not establish specific conditions to be satisfied by the seed of  hybrids of swede rape and turnip rape; whereas, furthermore, in the case of material not officially  admitted to the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species, which material  includes varietal associations, the said Directive neither established specific conditions nor  permitted the certification and marketing of such material;
Whereas on the basis of preliminary evidence it has been claimed that specified conditions for seed  of hybrids of swede rape and turnip rape should be established;
Whereas, similarly, it has been claimed that the certification and marketing of seed of varietal  associations should now be permitted and consequently specific conditions governing seed of such  varietal associations should also be established;
Whereas those claims cannot yet be confirmed at Community level on the basis of the information  available;
Whereas it is therefore useful to organize a temporary experiment under specified conditions with  the aim of establishing the conditions to be satisfied by the seed of hybrids and varietal  associations of swede rape and turnip rape;
Whereas the conditions of that experiment should be specified in such a manner as to enable the  maximum information to be collected at Community level with a view to drawing proper conclusions  for possible future adaptations of Community provisions;
Whereas, for the purpose of the experiment, Member States should be released from certain  obligations laid down in Directive 69/208/EEC;
Whereas the measures contained in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing  Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
