COMMISSION DIRECTIVE  of 24 May 1978  amending Directive 74/268/EEC laying down special conditions concerning the presence of "Avena fatua" in fodder plant and cereal seed  (78/511/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 Council Directive 78/55/EEC (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas the said Directive laid down tolerances in respect of the presence of Avena fatua in fodder plant seed;
Whereas these tolerances appeared to be too high for certain requirements;
Whereas Commission Directive 74/268/EEC of 2 May 1974 (3) therefore laid down special conditions in respect of the presence of Avena fatua in fodder plant seed;
Whereas the First Commission Directive 78/386/EEC of 18 April 1978 amending the Annexes to Council Directive 66/401/EEC on the marketing of fodder plant seed (4) laid down new conditions at Community level as regards the presence of Avena fatua in fodder plant seed;
Whereas because of these amendments the special conditions contained in Directive 74/268/EEC are no longer necessary;
Whereas these special conditions should therefore be repealed as far as fodder plant seed is concerned;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
