Having regard to Council Decision 95/514/EC of 29 November 1995 on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed producing crops and on the equivalence of seed produced in third countries (3),
Whereas in its Decision 95/514/EC the Council determined that field inspections carried out in certain countries on seed producing crops of certain species satisfied the conditions laid down in Directives 66/401/EEC and 69/208/EEC;
Whereas in its Decision 95/514/EC the Council determined that seed of certain species produced in certain third countries was equivalent to corresponding seed produced in the Community;
Whereas for certain species those determinations include Slovenia and South Africa;
Whereas an examination of the rules of Slovenia and the manner in which they are applied has shown that in respect of the species listed in Directive 66/401/EEC and Directive 69/208/EEC the prescribed field inspections satisfy the conditions laid down in Annex I to those Directives and the conditions governing seed harvested and controlled there afford the same assurances as regards the seed's characteristics, identity, examination, marking and control as do the conditions applicable to such seed harvested and controlled within the Community;
Whereas South Africa has recently been admitted to the OECD Scheme for the Varietal Certification of Maize and Sorghum seed moving in International Trade;
Whereas therefore the special conditions relating to South Africa should be removed;
Whereas the existing equivalence for Slovenia should therefore be extended accordingly;

Council Decision 95/514/EC is amended as follows:
