2001/765/EC: Commission Decision of 18 October 2001 authorising Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of forest reproductive material not satisfying the requirements of Council Directives 66/404/EEC and 71/161/EEC (notified under document number C(2001) 2859)
1. Member States are authorised to permit the marketing in their territory of seed satisfying less stringent requirements in respect of provenance, as laid down in Directive 66/404/EEC.
This authorisation is subject to the specifications set out in Annex I hereto, and to the condition that proof be furnished as to the place of provenance of the seed and the altitude at which it was collected.
2. Member States are authorised to permit the marketing in their territory of plants produced in the Community from the abovementioned seed.
1. The proof referred to in Article 1(1) shall be deemed to be furnished where the reproductive material is of the category "source-identified reproductive material" as defined in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) scheme for the control of forest reproductive material moving in international trade, or of any other 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 unofficial evidence.
Member States are authorised to permit the marketing in their territory of vegetative reproductive material derived from Populus nigra which does not satisfy the requirements in respect of the category, as laid down in Article 4(1) of Directive 66/404/EEC, in accordance with Annex II hereto.
Member States are authorised, in accordance with Annex III hereto, to permit the marketing in their territory of seed which neither satisfies the requirements in respect of provenance in Directive 66/404/EEC nor the requirements relating to specific purity set out in Annex I to Directive 71/161/EEC, on condition that:
(a) 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;
(b) 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".
1. The Member States other than the applicant Member States are also authorised to permit, in accordance with Annexes I, II and III respectively and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member States, the marketing in their territory of the seed and seedlings or, in the case of Populus nigra, vegetative reproductive material.
2. For the purpose of the application of paragraph 1, the Member States concerned shall assist each other administratively. The applicant Member States shall be notified by other Member States of their intention to permit the marketing of such reproductive material before any authorisation may be granted. The applicant Member States may object only if the entire quantity set out in this Decision has already been allocated.
The authorisation provided for in Article 1(1), Articles 3 and 4 and Article 5(1) shall expire on 31 December 2002.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities of seed labelled and approved for marketing throughout the Community pursuant to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
