THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to the Council Directives of 14 June 1966, on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1) and on the marketing of cereal seed (2), as last amended by the Council Directive of 11 December 1973 (3), and in particular Article 11 thereof;
Whereas the abovementioned Directives have laid down tolerances in respect of the presence of Avena fatua in fodder plant and cereal seed;
