Having regard to the request submitted by the Kingdom of the Netherlands,
Whereas in the Kingdom of the Netherlands the production of field pea seed (Pisum sativum L. partim) of the type described as 'round for agricultural purposes and dry harvesting' satisfying the requirements laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC was insufficient in 1984 and is not adequate to supply the needs of that country;
Whereas it is not possible to cover these needs satisfactorily by the use of certified seed from other Member States, or even from non-member countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas, by its Decision 85/228/EEC of 1 April 1985 (3), the Commission authorized the Kingdom of the Netherlands temporarily to permit the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species of a category subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas it appears that such authorization is not sufficient to cover the requirements of the Kingdom of the Netherlands;
Whereas the Kingdom of the Netherlands should therefore be authorized temporarily to admit an additional quantity of seed of the abovementioned species of a category subject to less stringent requirements;
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,
Decision 85/228/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, the quantity '950 tonnes' is replaced by '1 450 tonnes'.
