COMMISSION DECISION  of 25 July 1975  authorizing the Italian Republic to reduce for Sicily the minimum lengths of certain vine propagation material  (Only the Italian text is authentic)  (75/538/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Directive No 68/193/EEC (1) of 9 April 1968 on the marketing of material for the vegetative propagation of the vine as last amended by Council Directive No 74/648/EEC (2) of 9 December 1974, and in particular Article 3 (4) (c) thereof;
Having regard to the request submitted by the Italian Republic;
Whereas Directive No 68/193/EEC prescribes certain minimum lengths, particularly for nursery cuttings and rooted cuttings for the marketing of material for the vegetative propagation of the vine;
Whereas these minimum lengths are appropriate to general growing conditions in the Community;
Whereas Sicily enjoys particularly favourable growing conditions and it accordingly seems justified to authorize the Italian Republic to lay down smaller minimum lengths for the nursery cuttings and rootstocks;
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,
