COMMISSION DECISION of 22 November 1996 authorizing the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of seed of rye (Secale cereale L.) not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/402/EEC (96/688/EC)

Having regard to the request submitted by Austria,
Whereas in Austria the production of seed of certain winter varieties of rye (Secale cereale L.) satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC in relation to minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1996 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs; whereas those varieties are varieties which are considered to be particularly compatible with the protection of the environment and the countryside;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Austria should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31 December 1996 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Austria with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the 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,
Austria is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 December 1996 the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 515 tonnes of seed of the winter varieties of rye (Secale cereale L.) listed below which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the germination capacity is at least 80 % of pure seed and the official label bears the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 80 %`:
