Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed (1), as last amended by Directive 80/1141/EEC (2), and in particular of Article 32 (1) (b) thereof,

Whereas, by Decision 78/476/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 79/508/EEC (4), the Council noted that the official checks on practices for the maintenance of varieties carried out in certain non-member countries afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member States;

Whereas, in the meantime, it has been established that such practices can be officially checked also in Japan in connection with a certain species;

Whereas an examination of the conditions under which official checks on practices for the maintenance of varieties are carried out in Japan has shown that these checks afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member States;

Whereas Japan should be granted equivalence,

With effect from 1 July 1982, the following new item shall be inserted in the Annex to Decision 78/476/EEC:
