Having regard to the requests made by Belgium, France and the Netherlands,

Whereas it has not been possible to cover these seeds sufficiently with seed from Member States, of from third countries, meeting all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Belgium, France and the Netherlands should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 June 1995, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas it also appears desirable to authorize each of the other Member States to permit the marketing of such seed, if its marketing has been authorized in other Member States under this Decision;
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 Kingdom of Belgium, the French Republic and the Kingdom of the Netherlands are authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 June 1995, the marketing in their territories of a maximum of 1 000 tonnes of flax seed (Linum usitatissimum L.) of the categories 'certified seed of the first generation`, 'certified seed of the second generation` and 'certified seed of the third generation` which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 69/208/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity. This maximum applies to all three Member States taken together. The following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 90 % of pure seed;
