COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 22 April 1986
amending, on account of the accession of Spain and Portugal, certain Directives concerning the marketing of seeds and plants
(86/155/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the Council has established, by means of various Directives, a regime applicable to the marketing of seeds and propagating material;
Whereas, in respect of Portugal, a transitional regime applicable in this field has been specified in the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal;
Whereas, in respect of Spain, adaptations should be made to the following Directives in accordance with the guidelines arrived at during the accession negotiations:
- Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (3),
- Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85,
- Council Directive 68/193/EEC of 9 April 1968 on the marketing of material for the vegetative propagation of the vine (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85,
- Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85,
- Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85,
- Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85;
Whereas Bermuda grass, Harding grass (Phalaris), sorghum, Sudan grass, safflower, gourd and cardoon are important species for the production of agricultural or vegetable plants in the enlarged Community and should therefore be included in the scope of the said Directives;
Whereas, in order to make it possible to take measures necessary to introduce a system of compulsory varietal certification for seed of lucerne, fodder kale and fodder radish, the Kingdom of Spain should be authorized, in respect of such seed, to postpone application of the obligation imposed by Directive 66/401/EEC to market exclusively seed which has been officially certified as 'basic seed' or 'certified seed';
Whereas the demand for cotton seed in the enlarged Community is such that Directive 69/208/EEC should be amended to allow the marketing of certified cotton seed of the second generation;
Whereas, in order to enable the Kingdom of Spain to take the measures necessary to adapt its seed and propagating
material production and marketing to the requirements of the catalogue of varieties set up in the Community system, that Member State should be authorized to postpone the application of certain provisions relating to the national catalogue of vine varieties, the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species and the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Vegetable Species, either entirely or in respect of certain species,
