Whereas:

With a view to consistency and the simplification of procedures, the derogation should be deleted and the common rules laid down in Articles 5 and 15 of the above Regulation, which relate respectively to cases where an import licence or a security is not required, should be applied to processed fruit and vegetable products.

Having regard to the request submitted by the United Kingdom,
Whereas in the United Kingdom the production of seed of winter varieties of field bean (Vicia faba  L. partim) satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/401/EEC in relation to minimum germination  capacity has been insufficient in 1995 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;
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 the United Kingdom should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31  December 1995 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent  requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply the United Kingdom 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,
The United Kingdom is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on  31 December 1995 the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 4  000 tonnes of seed of winter  varieties of field bean (Vicia faba L. partim) which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in  Annex II to 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 75  % of pure seed;
(b)  the official label shall bear the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 75  %.`
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 under 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.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas a situation may arise in which because of uncontrollable circumstances duly completed returns cannot be made in respect of certain returning holdings ; whereas it is therefore necessary, in order to ensure that at the end of the accounting year the required number of 10 000 returns is obtained, that the number of returning holdings selected be in excess of that figure ; whereas Article 3 of Commission Regulation No 91/66/EEC 2 of 29 June 1966 concerning the selection of returning holdings for the purpose of determining incomes of agricultural holdings should accordingly be amended;
Whereas the extent to which this happens varies according to division and to category of holding ; whereas, therefore, the number of returning holdings to be selected in order to obtain at the end of the accounting year the required number of farm returns must be capable of variation within certain limits according to the division and the category of holding;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network;

"1. The number of returning holdings per division shall be as shown in Annex III.
The number of returning holdings selected per division may be greater than the number laid down in Annex III but shall not exceed that number by more than 20 %.
The number of returning holdings selected per division may be lower than the number laid down in Annex III, but by no more than 10 % and provided this does not entail a reduction in the total number of returning holdings laid down per Member State.
2. The number of returning holdings per category of holding shall not be less than twenty four."
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
