No Member State may refuse to grant EEC type approval or national type approval of a vehicle on grounds relating to its doors if these satisfy the requirements set out in the Annexes.
The amendments necessary for adjusting the requirements of the Annex so as to take account of technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of the Council Directive of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the Opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Annex 3 of the Council Directive of 30 March 1971 on external quality standards for forest reproductive material is amended as follows:    1.

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the maximum reduction in the duty on maize imported into Portugal from third countries was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1057/2006 (2).
(2) Pursuant to Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 (3), the Commission, acting under the procedure laid down in Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, may decide to fix maximum reduction in the import duty.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 should therefore be amended,
Article 20 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 is hereby replaced by the following:
