THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed(1), and in particular Article 21a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Recent information and studies from Member States have shown the need to introduce a threshold for the presence of plants infected by Fusarium fujikuroi in fields where seed of Oryza sativa is produced, since Fusarium fujikuroi causes damage to rice and is not susceptible to efficient treatment with the available plant protection products. Those studies have also shown the need to reduce the presence of wild or red-grain plants in fields where seed of Oryza sativa is produced, since under the current threshold the yield and quality of rice seed are significantly decreased.
(2) In view of that, a threshold for the presence of plants infected by Fusarium fujikuroi, in fields where seed of Oryza sativa is produced, should be introduced and the threshold for the presence of wild or red-grain plants, in fields where seed of Oryza sativa is produced, should be reduced for the production of the category of certified seed. Those thresholds should be set on the basis of the studies carried out by Members States.
(3) Directive 66/402/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
In Annex I to Directive 66/402/EEC, point 3.A. is replaced by the following:
Oryza sativa:
The number of plants which are recognisable as obviously being infected by Fusarium fujikuroi shall not exceed:
2 per 200 m2 for the production of basic seed,
4 per 200 m2 for the production of certified seed, first generation,
8 per 200m2 for the production of certified seed, second generation.
The number of plants which are recognisable as obviously being wild or red-grain plants shall not exceed:
0 for the production of basic seed,
1 per 100 m2 for the production of certified seed, first and second generation,’
1.Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 May 2012 at the latest.
