The marketing in the Union of seed of Beta vulgaris L. (beet) of the category ‘basic seed’, belonging to the varieties Enermax, Feldherr and Creta, which does not satisfy the requirement set out in point 3(b)(dd) of Part B of Annex I to Directive 2002/54/EC in respect of the inert matter shall be permitted for a total quantity not exceeding 61 kg and, for a period expiring on 31 December 2017, provided that the maximum percentage of inert matter by weight is not higher than 2,2.
Any seed supplier wishing to place on the market the seed referred to in Article 1 shall apply for authorisation to the Member State in which it is established. The application shall specify the quantity of seed that the supplier wishes to place on the market. The Member State concerned shall authorise the supplier to place that seed on the market, unless: (a) there is sufficient evidence to doubt as to whether the supplier is able to place on the market the amount of seed for which it has applied for authorisation; or (b) granting the authorisation would result in the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1 being exceeded.
Member States shall assist each other administratively in the application of this Decision. Denmark shall act as co-ordinating Member State in order to ensure that the total quantity of seed authorised for marketing in the Union by the Member States pursuant to this Decision does not exceed the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in in Article 1. Any Member State receiving an application under Article 2 shall immediately notify the co-ordinating Member State of the amount covered by the application. The co-ordinating Member State shall immediately inform that Member State as to whether authorisation would result in the total maximum quantity being exceeded.
Member States shall immediately notify to the Commission and the other Member States the quantities in respect of which they have granted marketing authorisation pursuant to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
