Having regard to the request submitted by France,
Whereas:
(1) In the Community, in particular in France the production of certain vine propagating materials satisfying the requirements of Directive 68/193/EEC, has been insufficient in 1998 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs.
(2) It is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with material satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive.
(3) France should therefore be authorised to permit the marketing for a period expiring on 15 March 2000, of material of a category to which less stringent requirements apply.
(4) Other Member States likely to supply France with such material should furthermore be authorised to permit its marketing to this end.
(5) In France the propagating material will be imported in the form of dormant buds to be used for grafting; whereas, according to the request, the rooted grafts produced in the Community from such propagating materials are then intended for export to Switzerland.
(6) This authorisation may only be used in accordance with the plant health conditions and requirements laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC(2), as last amended by Commission Directive 1999/53/EC(3), and in any implementing measures made thereof.
(7) 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,
France is authorised to permit, for a permit expiring on 15 March 2000, the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 195000 dormant buds for grafting harvested in Switzerland which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 68/193/EEC as regards certification and inspection of standard propagating material, provided that the official label is brown and bears the words "less stringent requirements".
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorised to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territories of the material authorised to be marketed under this Decision.
The authorisations under Articles 1 and 2 shall be without prejudice to Council Directive 77/93/EEC and any implementing measures thereof.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities of propagating material permitted to be marketed in their territories under this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
