Having regard to the application lodged by the United Kingdom,
Whereas, under Article 15 (1) of the said Directive, seed and propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted during 1983 in at least one of the Member States and which also meet the conditions laid down in the said Directive are, after 31 December 1985, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to variety in the Community;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of the said Directive provides that a Member State may be authorized upon application to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;
Whereas the United Kingdom applied for such authorization for a certain number of varieties of different species;
Whereas Commission Decision 85/626/EEC (3) extended for the United Kingdom the period provided for in the said Article 15 (1) beyond 31 December 1985 until 31 January 1986 in respect of some of those varieties, including the variety Tresor (perennial ryegrass);
Whereas the Commission has meanwhile completed its examination of the United Kingdom application in respect of that variety;

The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to prohibit the marketing in its territory of seed of the following variety listed in the 1986 common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species:
Tresor (Lolium perenne L.).
The authorization given in Article 1 shall be withdrawn as soon as it is established that the conditions thereof are no longer satisfied.
The United Kingdom shall notify the Commission of the date from which and the methods by which it makes use of the authorization under Article 1. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom.
