(2005/200/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed(1), and in particular Article 14(1a) thereof,

Having regard to the request submitted by the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania and the Republic of Malta,

Whereas:

(1) Directive 66/402/EEC lays down tolerances as regards the presence of Avena fatua in cereal seed.

(2) Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta have requested authorisation to apply stricter requirements for the marketing of cereal seed than those set out in Directive 66/402/EEC.

(3) Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta subject their home production of cereal seed to stricter requirements than those laid down in Directive 66/402/EEC. In addition, there is a campaign to eradicate Avena fatua from cereal grown in those Member States.

(4) Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta should therefore be authorised to adopt stricter requirements than those laid down in Directive 66/402/EEC for the marketing of cereal seed originating in other countries.

(5) 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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 2U.K.

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta shall notify the Commission of the date from which and the manner in which they intend to avail themselves of the authorisation granted in Article 1.

The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

Article 3U.K.
