COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3642/88

of 23 November 1988

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3083/73 on the communication of the information necessary for implementing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 on the common organization of the market in seeds

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 of 26 October 1971 on the common organization of the market in seeds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3997/87 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3083/73 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2811/86 (4), specifies the information which the Member States must forward to the Commission and the deadlines for such notification; whereas it is provided that information on the issue of import licences for hybrid maize is to be notified once a month; whereas, as that frequency does not permit the foreseeable quantity of imports to be known in good time and does not allow measures which the market trend could require to be taken, the dates for the forwarding of the information should be adjusted;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Mangement-Committee for Seeds,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
