2. Member States are authorized to permit the marketing in their territory of plants produced in the Community from the abovementioned seed.

The proof referred to in Article 1 (1) and 4 shall be deemed to be furnished where the reproductive material is of the category 'source identified reproductive material` as defined in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) scheme for the control of forest reproductive material moving in international trade, or of another category defined in that scheme.
2. Where the OECD scheme referred to in paragraph 1 is not used at the place of provenance of the reproductive material, other official evidence shall be admissible.
3. Where official evidence cannot be provided, Member States may accept other non-official evidence.
Member States are authorized on the terms set out in Annex II hereto, to permit the marketing in their territory of seed which does not satisfy the requirements relating to specific purity in Annex I to Directive 71/161/EEC, provided that the document required pursuant to Article 9 of Directive 66/404/EEC bears the wording:
'Seed not satisfying the standards in respect of specific purity`.
Member States are authorized on the terms set out in Annex III hereto, to permit the marketing in their territory of reproductive material which neither satisfies the requirements in respect of provenance in Directive 66/404/EEC nor the requirements relating to specific purity in Annex I to Directive 71/161/EEC, on condition that:
- the proof specified in Article 2 is furnished with regard to the place of provenance of the seed and the altitude at which it was collected, and

The Member States other than the applicant Member States are also authorized to permit, on the terms set out in Annexes I, II and III respectively and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member States, the marketing in their territory of the seeds and plants authorized to be marketed under this Decision.
The authorizations provided for in Articles 1 (1), 3 and 4 in so far as they concern the first placing of forest reproductive material on the market of the Community, shall expire on 30 November 1997. Such authorizations, in so far as they concern subsequent placing on the market of the Community, shall expire on 31 December 1998.
