COMMISSION

Award of aid from the Guidance Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund Regulations (EEC) No 355/77 and (EEC) No 1943/81 Second and last instalments 1985 (85/C 356/01)

In accordance with Article 16, paragraph 3, of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 (*), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1247/85 of 13 May 1985 (2), an amount of 1 343 million ECU is reserved for financing individual projects in the period from 1985 to 1989. An amount of 242,5 million ECU is included in the budget for 1985, to which must be added 950 000 ECU of special aid, awarded in accordance with the Decision of the Council of Ministers, to the United Kingdom for the restructuring of the pigmeat sector. Within the framework of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1943/81 of 30 June 1981, on a common measure to improve the processing and marketing conditions in the cattlefeed sector in Northern Ireland (\ an appropriation of 800 000 ECU is available for 1985.

To these amounts must be added credits recovered because of the cancellation of projects awarded aid in the past as well as appropriations carried forward from 1984.

The Commission has already awarded aid amounting to approximately 108 482 000 ECU (4).

In accordance with Article 13, paragraph 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, 1 401 projects were submitted before 1 May 1985 through Member States or carried forward from 1984; 52 have been withdrawn.

Of the 1 349 requests for aid remaining, 36 were considered inadmissible for consideration for aid because they did not meet the formal requirements of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 for one or other of the following reasons: — the financial contribution of the Member State was insufficient, — the information contained in the request for aid was clearly inadequate and did not permit an examination of the conformity of the project with the requirements of the Regulation, — the projects did not lie in the field of application of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 — the projects were not included in approved specific programmes.

These findings were notified to the applicants concerned and to the relevant Member States.

(!) OJNoL51, 23. 2. 1977, p. 1. (2) OJ NoL 130, 16. 5. 1985, p. 1. (3) OJ NoL 197, 20. 7. 1981, p. 23. (4) OJ No C 239, 20. 9. 1985, p. 3. No C 356/2 Official Journal of the European Communities 31. 12. 85

Of the 1 313 requests for aid considered to meet the formal requirements, the Commission decided not to award aid from the Fund to nine projects which were not in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77. These decisions were notified to the Member States concerned as well as to the applicants.

Among the 1 304 requests for aid remaining, considered to comply with the requirements of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, 243 had already been awarded aid from the Fund. The 1 061 requests for aid remaining represent a total request for aid of more than 600 million ECU.

Having consulted the Fund Committee on the financial aspects, particularly on the funds available, and having received the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure, together with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry in relation to projects in the fishing sector, the Commission has chosen, for the second instalment of 1985, 438 applications for aid representing an amount of 203 350 273 ECU within the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 and two applications for aid in Northern Ireland representing an amount of 705 522 ECU.

The projects chosen to receive aid, which are set out in the attached list, seem to the Commission to be most in the interest of the Community.

In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) 355/77 and Article 19 of Regulation 1943/ 81, the decisions on the granting of aid from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) to the projects indicated hereinafter have been notified to the relevant Member States and also to the beneficiaries. 31. 12. 85 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 356/3

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,

Whereas, for the reasons given below, the following Directives on the marketing of seeds and propagating material should be amended: — Council Directive 66/400/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of beet seed(1), as last amended by Directive 78/692/EEC (2) and by the Act of Accession of Greece, — Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 85/38/EEC(4), — Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed(5), as last amended by Directive 81/561/EEC (6), — Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes (7), as last amended by Directive 84/218/EEC (8), — Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (9), as last amended by Commission Directive 82/859/EEC(10),

— Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (*), as last amended by Directive 80/1141/EEC(2), — Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed(3), as last amended by Directive 80/1141/EEC;

Whereas, owing to their increased importance in the Community, rescue grass, Alaska brome- grass, California bluebell, triticale, Chinese cabbage and industrial chicory should be included in the scope of the Directives; whereas, for the same reason, hybrid varieties of certain additional cereal species and sunflower should also be included in the scope of the Directives; whereas the conditions to be satisfied by the crop and by the seed of those species and variety types should be in conformity with the schemes for seed moving in international trade laid down by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), except for cross-pollinating varieties of triticale and hybrid varieties of certain additional cereal species, where the OECD has not yet adopted such conditions;

Whereas it seems advisable, on the one hand, to revise certain provisions in order to facilitate the reproduction of seed in Member States other than that of origin and, on the other hand, to provide for Community measures to ensure the identity of that seed marketed as grown for processing;

Whereas it seems advisable that additional periods should be granted to Member States to allow seed of self-pollinating cereal species which has not been the subject of an official field inspection to be certified officially under certain conditions and to permit the marketing of specific varieties of rye not satisfying certain conditions laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC, in order that the necessary experience for a more general and definitive solution may be acquired;

Whereas it seems advisable that, for the purpose of seeking improved alternatives to certain elements of the certification schemes adopted under the Directives, temporary experiments under specific conditions should be organized; whereas, therefore, a legal basis to that effect should be introduced;

Whereas the provisions on the information required for the official label in respect of species and variety names should be improved with the aim of providing better information for seed users;

Whereas it should be ensured that the supplier's labels required under national provisions are drawn up in such a way that they cannot be confused with the official labels;,

Whereas, in the case of Directive 70/458/EEC, certain provisions on varieties of vegetable plant species should be adapted in such a manner as to permit current developments to be taken into account in the process of renewal of the official acceptance of certain varieties;

Whereas the conditions in respect of the value of a variety for cultivation or use should not be required for the acceptance of varieties (inbred lines, hybrids) which are intended solely as components for hybrid varieties;

Whereas it should, however, be possible to require those conditions for specific vegetable species or for varieties of vegetable intended for specific purposes; and whereas it should also be possible to require the examination of suitability for specific purposes of varieties of grasses not intended for the production of fodder plants;

Whereas applications by Greece to be authorized to prohibit the marketing in all or part of her territory of seed or propagating material of certain varieties listed in the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species or the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Vegetable Species should be taken into consideration in order to permit her to complete the adaptation of her seed and propagating material production and marketing to the Community requirements relating to the common catalogues;

Whereas it is useful to clarify certain provisions of the abovementioned Directives,
