of 18 June 2003
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 708/98 on the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies and fixing the corrective amounts and the price increases and reductions to be applied as regards the time limit for delivery into intervention for the 2002/03 marketing year

Whereas:
(1) The conditions governing the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 708/98(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 610/2001(4). Article 6(1) of that Regulation stipulates that delivery must take place by the end of the second month following receipt of the offer and in any case not later than 31 August of the current marketing year.
(2) As a result of the exceptionally large quantities of paddy rice currently offered for buying in, it is difficult for the intervention agencies to meet the time limit for the delivery of the products. This situation justifies a derogation, for the 2002/03 marketing year, from the time limit requiring delivery by the end of the second month.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 708/98, the delivery of paddy rice for taking over by the intervention agency in respect of the 2002/03 marketing year must take place no later than 31 August 2003.

Having regard to the request submitted by Finland,
Whereas in Finland the production of seed of the category 'certified seed` of certain varieties of field bean (Vicia faba) satisfying the requirements of the said Directive in relation to the minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1996 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;

Whereas Finland should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 30 June 1997 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Finland with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed;
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,
Finland is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 June 1997, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 38 tonnes of seed of the category 'certified seed` of varieties of the type 'Ukko` of field bean (Vicia faba) which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 69 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 69 %`.
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorized to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territory of the seed authorized to be marketed pursuant to this Decision.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the various quantities of seed labelled and permitted to be marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision.
