COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 9 December 1974  on the marketing of material for the vegetative propagation of the vine produced in third countries  (74/649/EEC)
THE COUNCIL 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 Directive No 74/648/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (2) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas the requirements for propagation material can, at present, be covered by Community production ; whereas however, it should be possible for propagation material produced in third countries to be admitted into the Community;
Whereas such propagation material must not, however, be admitted unless it offers the same guarantees as that produced within the Community;
Whereas, on the other hand, it is necessary to recognize, under certain conditions, material propagated in third countries from basic propagation material certified in a Member State as being equivalent to material propagated in that Member State,
