Whereas under this Directive comparative trials and tests shall be carried out in the Member States on samples to check that propagating material or fruit plants of genera and species listed therein comply with the requirements and conditions of the said Directive;
Whereas to this end, it is essential, in particular in the early stages of the Directive's implementation, to ensure adequate representation of the samples participating in the trials and tests for the different origins of production in the entire Community, at least for certain selected crops;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to carry out Community comparative trials and tests in 1997/98 on propagating, and planting material of strawberries (Fragaria);
Whereas it is necessary for all Member States to participate in the Community comparative trials and tests, in so far as propagating and planting material of strawberries are usually propagated or marketed in their territories, in order to ensure that proper conclusions may be drawn therefrom;
Whereas these Community comparative trials and tests will be used to harmonize, in the first instance, the technical methods of examination of propagating and planting material of these species;
Whereas the measures provided for in this decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Propagating Material and Plants of Fruit Genera and Species,
1. Community comparative trials and tests shall be carried out during 1997/98 on propagating and planting material of strawberries (Fragaria).
2. All Member States shall participate in the Community comparative trials and tests, in so far as propagating and planting material of strawberries are usually propagated or marketed in their territories.

Whereas the requirements of charitable organizations are particularly pressing in winter; whereas large stocks of C sugar are available at this time; whereas it is accordingly desirable to make the exception apply to C sugar production of the 1992/93  marketing year onwards;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
