The necessary reproductive material cannot be supplied by other Member States.\n(2)\nNew Zealand is in a position to supply a sufficient amount of reproductive material of the species concerned intended for the production of planting. However, that seed does not comply with Directive 1999/105/EC as regards identification and labelling.\n(3)\nIn order to cover the shortage, Spain should be authorised, for a limited period of time, to approve for marketing seed and planting stock produced from seed of the species Pinus radiata which satisfies less stringent requirements with respect to identification and labelling.\n(4)\nSuch seed and planting stock should be marketed with a document containing certain details regarding its identification.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
