Whereas it has since been established that in Argentina also there are rules on seeds control for a range of plant species which provide for official field inspections to be carried out during the period of seed production;
Whereas an examiniation of the said rules and of the manner in which they are applied has shown that the prescribed field inspections for certain species satisfy the conditions laid down in Annex I to each of the abovementioned Directives;
