COMMISSION DECISION of 17 April 1998 authorising the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of seed of sheep's fescue (Festuca ovina L.) not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/401/EEC (98/281/EC)

Having regard to the request submitted by Sweden,
Whereas in Sweden the production of seed of certain varieties of the category 'certified seed` of sheep's fescue (Festuca ovina L.) satisfying the requirements of the said Directive in relation to minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1997 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs; whereas those varieties have proven to be suitable under the climatic conditions in the northern part of the applicant country, to have good wintering capacity and to be resistant to winter damage;
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 Sweden should therefore be authorised to permit for a period expiring on 30 April 1998 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Sweden with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorised 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,
Sweden is authorised to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1998, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 1,4 tonnes of seed of the category 'certified seed` of the varieties of sheep's fescue (Festuca ovina L.) listed below which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC with regard to minimum germination capacity, provided that the germination capacity is at least 65 % of pure seed and the official label bears the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 65 %`:
(i) Barfina;
(ii) Barreppo;
(iii) Biljart;
(iv) Valda;
(v) Waldina.
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorised 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 authorised 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.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular the first subparagraph of paragraph (f) of Section B of Chapter 4 of Annex VI thereto,
Whereas:
(1) Bulgaria has been granted transitional periods by the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania for compliance by certain milk processing establishments with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1).
(2) Bulgaria has provided guarantees that three milk processing establishments have completed their upgrading process and are now in full compliance with Community legislation. One of those establishments is allowed to receive and process compliant and non-compliant raw milk without separation. It should therefore be included in the list of Chapter I of the Appendix to Annex VI. One milk processing establishment currently listed in Chapter I will process only compliant raw milk and will therefore be considered as an EU-approved milk processing establishment. That establishment should therefore be deleted from the list of Chapter I of the Appendix to Annex VI.
(3) The Appendix to Annex VI to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
