Annexes I and II to Directive 66/402/EEC are amended as follows:

(1)
Annex I is amended as follows:
1. (a)
  
  The first sentence of point 5 is replaced by the following: ‘Crops to produce certified seed of hybrids of Avena nuda, Avena sativa, Avena strigosa, Oryza sativa, Triticum aestivum, Triticum durum, Triticum spelta and self-pollinating xTriticosecale and crops to produce certified seed of hybrids of Hordeum vulgare by means of a technique other than Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (CMS)’.
2. (b)
  The following point is inserted after point 5:
  ‘5a.
  
  Crops to produce basic and certified seed of hybrids of Hordeum vulgare by means of the technique of CMS:
  
  (a)
  
  The crop shall conform to the following standards as regards distances from neighbouring sources of pollen which may result in undesirable foreign pollination:
  
  Crop Minimum distance
  For the production of basic seed 100 m
  For the production of certified seed 50 m
  
  (b)
  
  The crop shall have sufficient varietal identity and purity as regards the characteristics of the components.
  
  In particular the crop shall conform to the following standards:
  
  (i)
  
  The percentage by number of plants which are obviously not being true to type shall not exceed:
  
  for the crops used to produce basic seed, 0,1 % for the maintainer and the restorer line and 0,2 % for the CMS female component,
  
  for the crops used to produce certified seed, 0,3 % for the restorer and the CMS female component and 0,5 % in case the CMS female component is a single hybrid.
  
  (ii)
  
  The level of male sterility of the female component shall be at least:
  
  99,7 % for crops used to produce basic seed,
  
  99,5 % for crops used to produce certified seed.
  
  (iii)
  
  The requirements of points (i) and (ii) shall be examined in official post-control test.
  
  (c)
  
  Certified seed may be produced in mixed cultivation of a female male-sterile component with a male component which restores fertility.’
(2)
Annex II is amended as follows:
1. (a)
  
  Point 1.C is replaced by the following:
  
  ‘C.
  
  Hybrids of Avena nuda, Avena sativa, Avena strigosa, Hordeum vulgare, Oryza sativa, Triticum aestivum, Triticum durum, Triticum spelta, and self-pollinating xTriticosecale
  
  The minimum varietal purity of the seed of the category certified seed shall be 90 %.
  
  In case of Hordeum vulgare produced by means of CMS, it shall be 85 %. Impurities other than the restorer shall not exceed 2 %.
  
  The minimum varietal purity shall be examined in official post-control test on an appropriate proportion of samples.’
2. (b)
  
  The title of point 1.E of Annex II is replaced by the following:
  
  ‘E.
  
  Hybrids of Secale cereale and CMS-hybrids of Hordeum vulgare ’.
