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, and in particular Article 21a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2021/415 amended Directive 66/402/EEC and due to a clerical error deleted the name of species Avena nuda from the entry in the third row of the first column of the table in Annex III to Directive 66/402/EEC. As a result, the maximum weight of a seed lot and the minimum weight of a seed sample of the species Avena nuda are no longer regulated. Therefore, the deleted name of species Avena nuda should be reinstated.
(2) Directive 66/402/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(3) For reasons of legal certainty, the transposition date set out in this Directive should match the transposition date set out in Implementing Directive (EU) 2021/415.
(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
